Distanced | Cambridge University Walking & Punting Tour Led By University Alumni

Summary Description

Make your way to King's College in central Cambridge, and meet your guide—a Cambridge University graduate. Then, set off through the city to begin your walking tour.

Learn about the discovery of DNA in Cambridge, and visit the chapels and libraries for which the university is known.
