Udflugt til Cambridge University
Beskrivelse
Vi har ledet vores anerkendte Christian Heritage guidede vandreture i over 25 år, og vi arbejder med et dedikeret team af lokale guider for at bringe dig en gåoplevelse i små grupper, der er personlig, engagerende og uforglemmelig. Vi sigter mod at give dig en fornemmelse af nogle af Cambridges mest ikoniske og indflydelsesrige steder, både på og uden for det slåede spor. Vores tilgang er lidt anderledes end en standard turist tur: Vi mener, at ideer betyder noget, og fokuserer på, hvordan et lille antal store ideer har formet universitetet i løbet af otte begivenhedsfulde århundreder. Vores guider vil føre dig gennem emner som fremkomsten af universitetet fra kristne klostre, den protestantiske reformation, udviklingen af moderne videnskab, bevægelser for retsstaten og religionsfrihed og kampagnen for at afskaffe den britiske slavehandel.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Bemærk venligst, at nedenstående rejseplan giver et eksempel på steder, der ofte besøges på turen, men ruten kan variere for at give dig den bedst mulige tur på en given dag.
Vi starter i den runde kirke, Cambridge's mest mærkelige (og, vi tror, smukkeste) kirke bygning, som går før universitetet. Kirken huser en udstilling og 20 minutters film, og adgang til disse er inkluderet i guidede gåbilletter.
Vi starter typisk med at vove os ned til floden Cam, hvor en klar fornemmelse af byens oprindelse kan opnås ved Magdalene Bridge.
Ture er nogle gange i stand til at gå inden for 1 - 2 gymnasier, men det er ikke altid muligt, og vi kan ikke garantere dette. Magdalene College, hvor C.S. Lewis var baseret i hans tid i Cambridge, kan også ses fra Quayside.
Vi stopper for at beundre udvendig af kapellet og gatehouse af St John's College.
Vi ser Trinity College og Isaac Newtons æbletræ.
Vi tilbringer noget tid omgivet af de centrale universitetsbygninger: Universitetskirken, Senathuset og Cambridge University Press boghandel samt det smukke Gonville og Caius College.
Overfor Great St Mary's Church ligger University Senate House, hvor studerende dimitterer.
Vi ser det ydre af King's College, inklusive det storslåede kapel, fra King's Parade.
Vi sigter efter at give dig en fornemmelse af nogle af Cambridges mest ikoniske og indflydelsesrige steder, både på og uden for alfarvej. Ture besøger nogle gange Church of St Edward King and Martyr, hvor det hævdes, at den første protestantiske prædiken blev prædiket i England.
Vi besøger en af de nyere tilføjelser til Cambridges historiske King's Parade og udforsker dens betydning.
Vi stopper for at beundre tårnet St Bene't's, som er den ældste bygning i Cambridge, der stammer fra ca. 1020.
Overfor St Bene't's ser vi The Eagle pub.
Vi begiver os til Old Cavendish Laboratory, stedet for betydeligt videnskabeligt arbejde og opdagelser.
Ture er nogle gange i stand til at gå inden for 1 - 2 gymnasier, men det er ikke altid muligt, og vi kan ikke garantere dette.

I would have scored five stars but only gave four as I thought we would actually be going into the colleges and not just standing outside. The guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful and the tour just the right length. It was good value for money.

Fantastic visit of almost 2 hours throughout the center, entering several colleges, with a local guide who is a history professor, alumnus, and absolutely charming and willing to make the visit enriching and dynamic. Very polite. I went with 6 young people between 17 and 29 years old and they loved it. Highly recommended.
We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your walk; thanks for letting us know.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful and very enjoyable tour of Cambridge! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining, and gave us a fascinating insight into the University, its colleges, history and traditions. We particularly appreciated learning that the tour is connected with a charitable organisation — it made supporting the experience feel even more worthwhile. Cambridge has such a wonderful atmosphere, and this tour was a perfect way to discover it. We learned a lot, had plenty of laughs and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. Thank you for a fantastic experience. Highly recommended! ❤️🎓
Thanks so much for your review; we are so grateful you had such a good time on your tour!
Be careful of traffic in crowded areas. Helpful to have a simple map of the central area. Lots of information to take in about Cambridge history and amusing stories.
Thank you for your feedback Anthony - we really appreciate it! We're always aware of the challenges of the busy tourist season, so it serves as a helpful reminder for us.
What an excellent experience this was! I spent July travelling around the UK and attended several walking tours in several locations, but this one in Cambridge was the highlight! So informative, and such a fantastic tour guide. The unfortunate thing is I forget the first name of the guide who took us out in the late afternoon session on July 16th. If when you reply to this review, can you add their name, so the review is connected with that excellent tour guide! Regards Michael.
Hi Michael, thank you for sharing your experience. We're so glad that you enjoyed your tour with Jon!
No reason not to recommend this tour. This was my second visit to Cambridge, and this time it was much more fascinating and inspiring thanks to this tour. I not only learned about the history and practical aspects behind the pretty buildings and the city, but also gained a bigger picture of the countless stories behind them. I feel very lucky that my partner happened to find and choose this tour!
We're thrilled to hear that the tour enriched your visit to Cambridge, thanks for joining us!
