Short and general overview of the University and colleges. Not very engaging, the gentleman seemed rushed and walked away quickly after less than 1.5h. He didn’t even ask our names 😳

Really interesting way to learn about the historic city in a concise way. The good weather on the day also helped to show off Cambridge at its best. Pamela was a great and safety conscious guide.

Chris was both patient and helpful when my partner and I got to the tour late. He guided us in the right direction to meet Tony and the other tour customer. Tony obviously knew a lot about Cambridge and it’s history. It’s hard to keep my attention with things like this but Tony did! He gave us fun and interesting facts that were about the local area, pubs, churches and of university graduates, just to name a few. One of them being a university prank that has been copied around the world! Tony has a great sense of humour and a quick wit. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Cambridge.colintW9584NT
