Cambridge University With Alumni: Valgfri Kings College Entrance
Beskrivelse
Gå ind på King's College! Etableret af kong Henry VI, med successive King's, der giver mere ambitiøse tilføjelser (deraf navnet). Kapellet har det største hvælvede loft i verden og endda en Rubens, engang det dyreste maleri nogensinde købt. Det er let at se, hvorfor adskillige konger og dronninger har besøgt, og hvorfor dit besøg ikke kan være komplet uden at komme ind! Denne tur vil introducere dig til Cambridges afgørende rolle i verdenshistorien og fremhæve byens arkitektoniske vidundere med vores universitetsguider. Oven i dette vil turen gå ind på King's College! De omfattede steder omfatter den ældste kirke i Cambridge (1033), det ældste College (1284) og laboratoriet, der er berømt for opdagelsen af DNA. Sammen med Cambridge vartegn såsom Mathematical Bridge og Senatets hus, hvor der har været afholdt eksamen i de sidste 300 år. Derudover vil vores studenterguider dele deres erfaringer med college-systemet og lade dig ind i lokale hemmeligheder.

Rejseplan
Uden tvivl kommer højdepunktet på din tur ind i det fantastiske King's College-kapel. Grundstenen blev lagt af kong Henry VI selv, og successive engelske konger leverede mere og mere ambitiøse tilføjelser (deraf navnet!). Kapellet er hjemsted for det største ventilatorhvelvede loft i verden, det er prydet med majestætiske farvede glasvinduer, og der er endda et Rubens-maleri (når det dyreste maleri nogensinde er købt).
Peterhouse var det første universitet på universitetet, finansieret i 1284. Gruppen stopper udenfor, hvor du kan beundre det pragtfulde College Chapel og lære mere om berømte studerende som digteren Thomas Gray.
Turen stopper uden for Pembroke College - det tredje ældste college i Cambridge - hvor vores kyndige studentguide fortæller dig om dens historie, herunder detaljer om kollegiets kapel, som er designet af Sir Christopher Wren. Mens adgang er gratis, accepterer kollegiet ikke grupper større end 6, og derfor foreslår vi, at du vender tilbage her efter turen med al den historiske indsigt i tankerne.
Først skal vi kigge ind i Great Court of Corpus, så fortæller vores studievejledning dig om dette berømte universitets historie.
Den matematiske bro er en af de mest anerkendte broer ved Cambridge, og den har en temmelig mærkelig historie. Vores elevguide fortæller dig den populære legende, og klargør derefter, hvad broens faktiske oprindelse var.
Gruppen stopper ved indgangen til Clare College på 'Backs' - det lokale navn på stien, der fører bag de centrale colleges - hvor du lærer om dens historie. Derudover vil vores vejledning ved dette stop fremhæve universitetsbiblioteket lige på tværs af vejen.
Denne bro giver en smuk udsigt over floden Cam. På højre side ser du broen til Clare College, Cambridge's ældste bro. Lige foran er der det fantastiske Jerwood Library of Trinity Hall, som blev designet til at ligne et skib! Det er et must-stop foto stop!
Uden for Senathuset vil vores studerende guide fortælle dig alle de særegne detaljer ved konfirmationsceremonien i Cambridge, som har været afholdt i Senatens hus i de sidste 300 år.
Den berømte nabo og rival på Trinity College. Her lærer du om dets omdømme og om det særlige privilegium, som kollegiets stipendiater deler med den kongelige familie.
Turen afsluttes ved Trinity College, hvor du lærer mere om berømte alumner som Sir Isaac Newton og Prince Charles. Du vil se 'æbletræet' og høre den komisk utrolige historie bag statuen af Henry VIII over porten.

Our guide Theo, himself a history graduate from Cambridge was first class. He had a lovely engaging manner, was very polite, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. His commentary throughout the 2 hour walk was extremely well structured, flowed seamlessly and was incredibly informative. We saw and learnt things in those 2 hours that we never could have walking by ourselves or with a guidebook. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Theo and this tour!
Mark walked us through Cambridge on a scorching hot day during the heat wave. This didn't stop him from giving us as many details as possible on the UK school system, Cambridge history and walk us to the highlights; all with that iconic dry Bristish humour! It was a joy and we learned so much! I recommend Mark to anyone who loves to be intellectually challenged like Mark would put it! It was a great day trip thanks to him!
What a great guide we had in Mark! He was so enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge with us. He was engaging and entertaining and we came away with a wide range of nuggets of information about Cambridge. We can't recommend him and his tour highly enough. Thanks Mark!
Great experience! Learned quite a lot Cambridge history
Sonia was great she also answered all of our questions she was also very prepared. She also told us a lot about the collages and university’s
Rita was a very good guide who gave a lot of history information and details of the real life at Cambridge university. It was a good tour.
Great tour, really enjoyed it despite the heat. Mark was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and gave us some great stories we will remember. I would definitely recommend
Amazing commentary by Mark Shere... great orator & his storytelling is epic
Mark was our guide and he kept us entertained for over 2 hours. It was a searing hot Sunday but everyone was so engrossed in this tour, we hardly noticed the heat. Marks ability to engage with the group in a fun, witty way was a talent. He remembered everyone’s name (the group was about 20) and related stories about Cambridge to the groups multicultural backgrounds so it felt relatable. I was always confused about Cambridge and the university layout but Mark explained it in a fun, relatable way. It wasn’t just a history tour of Cambridge, he told us so many more interesting facts about England. It’s difficult to convey the fun of this walk, but you won’t regret it! Just book with Mark for an incredible 2 hour tour full of facts, laughs and funny anecdotes.
Mark is exceptionally knowledgeable and able to piece history with analysis of politics together. The insights he shared were beyond the usual tours i have attended and it was insightful to hear and understand in a short time how Cambridge and those who were here before contributed to history of humanity. Amazing guide.
