Traveler reviews
Great Tour led by Cambridge Alumni
Rita was such a great tour guide! She struck a perfect balance between sharing historical information, her own experiences, and Cambridge lore, all while staying super engaging and bringing her own sense of humor. Unfortunately, we took the tour during freshman move-in day (our fault for not knowing!), so we weren't able to enter any of the colleges. Even still, Rita did a great job to pivot and tell us much about the colleges while seeing great views of the impressive buildings. I would highly recommend taking this tour as I imagine other guides have their own stories to share that make it that much more personal. Thanks, Rita, and team!
Cambridge University tour with quirky insights
The walking tour of Cambridge exceeded my expectations, Mark our tour guide bought the tour alive with his insight, humour and wit. He made the tour very interactive and marking sure everyone was included. The tour length is spot on. I really enjoyed Mark highlighting the more quirky side of Cambridge history and offering alternative perspectives. Thanks you Mark
Fantastic guide, fascinating tour
Mark entertained us for the whole tour, shared lots of interesting information and showed us very nice spots. Those were two really enjoyable hours!!!
