Our guide, Yuri, was most helpful in providing lots of background information on the different colleges and the admission process to my niece. He was also considerate to give notice that the tour would be delayed by 30 minutes due to a thunderstorm.

I had a walking tour booked on saturday and I met the guide outside at Mary’s church. He made the tour amazing with his detail to the colleges and lots of witty insights. The tour was 70’mins and was plenty of time to see everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone who’s coming to cambridge. The booking was very easy and communication was spot on
