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.

Fantastic, informative and fun tour led by Mark. He was great with historical facts and visual prompts. Mark rembered everyone's name and country of origin (8 of us). We throughly enjoyed the whole and extended tour.....thank you
The meeting point was extremely busy with several other tours being in the same vicinity. Thanks to a phone call we realised we were only 10M from Rachel our tour guide with this tour, thanks for the call, was very good service. Rachel was excellent, very informative, great sense of humour & personable. The other tours had large groups of people but we were a small group of 6 which made for great conversation & sharing information. The many questions that were asked, Rachel provided lots of detail & great history of Cambridge. It was a really good tour. The Kings college chapel is a must visit at the end of tour if you haven't been before. We wish Rachel all the best in your studies to becoming a vet.
Rachael was our tour guide. She is a current Cambridge student. She is knowledgeable and energetic! We enjoyed our tour with her!
The experience started with a morning message on my WhatsApp from the Guide Mark Shere welcoming me to the upcoming tour and explaining how to spot him when I reach the location. When I got there, Mark welcomed me warmly and introduced me to the other family of 3 we were going to go on the tour with. This instantly made me feel comfortable. Mark is a people’s person, and has the personality of an entertainer who uses humour to add to his vast repertoire of knowledge of world history (not surprising given his degree in History from Cambridge). Mark then proceeded to take us on a tour full of information and interesting tidbits about Cambridge. From the King’s College chapel, the Rose Wars and the various British kings and their relationship with Cambridge University - he made every aspect of the tour come alive. He made the tour relevant for all 4 of us on tour which included a young 18 year old, her parents from Germany and me an Indian with an emotional connect to Cambridge (since I got admission here but could not attend due to financial issues). Mark took us to see the College I wishes to see and I am very thankful for that. How the 2.5 hours passed, I never realised and in the end I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour. If I go there again, I would happily do the tour again with Mark! Highly recommended for everyone visiting Cambridge. Look for Mark and book a tour with him!
Charlotte shows around Cambridge this morning. She had great energy and enthusiasm and was both informative and entertaining. Thank you. 😀
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
