Walking Tour of Cambridge

An interesting tour with an excellent guide. From our first email contact to the end Jo was informative and helpful throughout, helping us to decide timings and where to go, even for coffee! She is very knowledgeable across a range of aspects of Cambridge, history, architecture, the University … and obviously has a passion for her subject, at the same time being very friendly and approachable. She picked up on our interests and adjusted accordingly. If we wanted to arrange a further tour we would have no hesitation in using this company and asking for Jo. Highly recommended.

Great tour with Jo! Excellent communication prior to tour and very accommodating to our schedule changes. Jo is very friendly and knowledgeable of all things Cambridge, we learned a lot and had a great time!

We did a walking tour with Mark and the Footprints company. It was a day trip from London. Mark was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the rich history as well as the various colleges! Would thoroughly recommend this small group tour and guides. Excellent value for money as well

We discovered “Cambridge on Foot” amongst a great number of walking tour providers we found in a Google search. What attracted us was that the Dick and Jo were members of the Society of Cambridge Tour Guides. They are fully trained to the highest standards and have been examined by the Institute of Tourist Guiding. We submitted our date and we were soon contacted by Jo Sharpington. Jo could not have been more helpful right from the beginning. We spent a delightful 3 hours on Jo’s private tour where she informed us of fascinating information and anecdotes of Cambridge town and the many colleges. Jo is passionate about her tours smiling and laughing as she went while being cognizant of the needs of her clients. We would highly recommend Jo should you find yourself in Cambridge. Thanks again Jo for a most informative day!!

We had a great time on this tour! We had Dick and he was phenomenal - super knowledgeable and a great guide. He was very accommodating to our group as well. It gave us an appreciation for Cambridge that we would’ve never had otherwise. Highly recommend this tour!

We did a private tour with Jo. She was excellent. She shared knowledge about the town and about the university, answered our many many questions, pointed out things we would have missed on our own, and gave us a great walking tour. We had high expectations and she exceeded those expectations. Very interesting lady with a very interesting background and 25 years living in Cambridge.

We went with friends who had never been to Cambridge before. Dick was an excellent guide. The tour was very informative, he showed us some really interesting parts of the colleges and shared lots of information about the University. Dick was very flexible and altered the route to suit our friends. I would strongly recommend this tour 😀

I booked two guided tours for my group of Austrian school students and the whole booking process through Jo went absolutely smoothly. I got immediate response and all my special requests with starting times and pick up/drop off points were met. Our guides Jo and Abby were wonderful, making our time here in Cambridge a most memorable one.

Jo is a very passionate and knowledgeable guide. She is very reachable and personal too. She even tailored the tour to our desires. Highly recommended!

A group of friends on a weekend visit to Cambridge thoroughly enjoyed the walk led.by Dick. We learned so much of the history of Cambridge , the Uni and several of the colleges, all done the the right pace and interest level.
