This is a money grabbing scam. No one showed up and their phone never worked. We waited for an hour. This should be reported to police.

For anyone who likes to explore by themselves, this is the perfect tour. You can wander around Cambridge by yourself while learning about all the famous grads and inventions that Cambridge has given the world. 10/10 experience and I don't say that lightly!

This was a very educational podcast tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone interesting on learning about the great minds who lived and studied in Cambridge once. Besides it is COVID-safe, totally far from crowded tours!
