This is a worthwhile experience for any visitor to Cambridge. You are able to see many parts of different universities, which are not always accessible from the street unless you’re a student. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and our entire group, although being strangers to one another, had fun and got along. Other than the cold temperatures and a blustery wind, this was a perfect and reasonably affordable activity. I would encourage you to tip your guide if you’re pleased.

Excellent tour informative and pleasant guide My one criticism was the repeated derogatory terms in connection with King Charles The company should promote our country not knock it and be judgemental

We were blessed with a dry mild day in February. Was enjoyed by all including 2 kids. Punter was good natured and told us about university buildings and history. Highly recommend but ideally done off peak time.
