Cambridge University Tour mit AlumniTM mit optionaler Königskapelle
Beschreibung
Dies ist die ursprüngliche Alumni TourTM – die erste ihrer Art und die professionellste Erfahrung in der Stadt. Unsere Touren werden von Cambridge Studenten und Absolventen geleitet, die echte persönliche Erfahrung mit einem tiefen Wissen über die Geschichte und Architektur der Stadt verbinden. Die 90-minütige Tour umfasst ikonische Sehenswürdigkeiten wie die Corpus Clock, die Mathematische Brücke und das King’s College von den legendären Backs. Die Tour findet komplett im Freien statt und konzentriert sich auf Cambridges historische Straßen, Plätze und College-Außenräume. Wenn Sie bei der Buchung ausgewählt wurden, können Sie Ihr Erlebnis nach dem Ende der Wanderung mit einem Besuch der King’s College Chapel, dem absoluten Kronjuwel der Englischen Gotik, bereichern.

Erfahren Sie mehr über den Grund, warum dies das Queens' College und nicht das Queen's College ist, und entdecken Sie die Mythen, die es über die nahegelegene Mathematische Brücke gibt

Robin was an exceptional guide with great knowledge of Cambridge. Would recommend going on this tour and if you have Robin Franklin you'll have lucked out as he was one so engaging, friendly and informative.
We were a family of six, and we had an absolutely fantastic experience with Mark. He was incredibly engaging, knowledgeable, and had a wonderful sense of humor, always with a twinkle in his eye. Even my 9-year-old nephew, Frej, thought Mark was great fun. I can warmly recommend taking a tour with Mark. He has a real talent for telling fascinating stories while also debunking some of the common myths along the way. If we had to complain about anything, it would be the heat. It was extremely hot and at times almost unbearable to stand in the sun. However, Mark made a genuine effort to keep us in the shade whenever possible.
Robin was the best tour guide I’ve had. Very knowledgeable and great stories.
Our tour guide Isabelle was very knowledgeable and easygoing, she was able to answer all our questions. We were disappointed that the King’s Chapel was closed to the visitors; however to rectify this, the tour operator upgraded us to a guided punting tour which we really enjoyed!
Thank you very much for your kind words about Isobelle. We're delighted to hear that you found her knowledgeable, approachable, and able to answer all of your questions. I'll be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to her. We're sorry again that King's College Chapel was unexpectedly closed. Unfortunately, this was completely outside of our control. To ensure your visit was still enjoyable, we were pleased to upgrade your booking to a chauffeured punting tour at no additional cost, and we're so glad to hear that you really enjoyed it. With that in mind, I wondered whether you might consider updating your review to five stars. It would mean a great deal to our small business, especially since we did everything we could to resolve the situation and provide an alternative experience. Thank you again for your understanding and support—we really appreciate it. Kind regards, Monich Alumni Tours
Our guide Isabel was very informative, and told us about some of the colleges, University life and the town of Cambridge itself. This tour involves walking around Cambridge and standing outside colleges, we had the optional Kings college chapel which is self guided and includes a little of the grounds.
This was a great introduction to Cambridge. Our guide Mia was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and personable. Thank you Mia for a great tour. Elaine and Laura from Scotland
Mia was a fantastic guide.Her blend of professionalism mixed with a great personality ensured that our tour was both fun and informative.
Lovely tour- my actual favorite thing I did while in Cambridge! Isabel was the best tour guide and I learned so much!
Our tour with Dr. John was our favorite part of Cambridge. We learned so much about the different colleges and their history. He struck a perfect balance of information, entertainment, and humor, all while taking us through one of the most picturesque cities in the UK. His background as a history major and PhD was evident, as he gave us great insight into origins of the colleges and their amusing rivalries with each other. We highly recommend requesting John for your tour. You won’t be disappointed!
I believe the tour guide was at worst sadist, at best, just plain cruel It was 98° this day. I am dealing with recent foot surgery, but I am able to walk with a cane. There is also older couple on this tour with us. When I arrived, he could not find me on his list so he treated me like a third class passenger and pawned me off on somebody else. When they determined I was on his tour when I came back, he seemed displeased. As we walking around the city, there were a couple of times, due to construction, that a road may have been closed so he made us double back and walk all the way around the block, only to find that the road was closed to vehicles, not pedestrians, so all that effort was futile. We walked a mile on a dirt path in a park area that basically had no shade just so we could find two spots to take pictures. Most of the time he spent pointing at buildings and told us who study there, which is information I could have gotten from Wikipedia, since most the buildings weren’t that interesting to look at. When there was shade along the journey, he often stopped in a place 20 feet from it to stand there and talk to us for five minutes. If there was a bench nearby for us to rest, he would stay away from it so that we had to stand in the extreme heat, without a break the entire hour and a half. When we got toward the end of the tour, we walked past the back entrance to Kings College church. And walked about another half a mile to the front, which was closed so we had to double back AGAIN to the entrance. We had already walked past. We started the tour at the front location, this is something he should have known… In general, the tour was not worth the excruciating heat, the amount of knowledge for the expenditure of physical exertion under these trying circumstances. I would not recommend.
Dear Clint, Thank you for your feedback. While we understand that walking in 98-degree heat is incredibly uncomfortable, we must be very clear: you are blaming our business and, even worse, our excellent guide by calling him a "sadist," for circumstances that are completely out of our control and for content that is the exact nature of this tour. Our booking page explicitly warns guests about the physical demands of this experience, stating clearly that it is a standard walking tour requiring physical activity, which can be challenging for people with mobility issues. You knew the weather forecast and your own situation recovering from surgery before arriving. If you had explained your circumstances to us beforehand, we would have gladly issued you a refund. Instead, you chose to book and participate anyway. We cannot control the sun, the temperature, or city construction detours, and our tours move forward unless there is an active safety hazard. Additionally, you had actually booked for the wrong date and informed us at the very last minute. Although this strictly should have required an entirely new booking, we wanted to be accommodating and went the extra mile to let you join the tour regardless. It is disappointing to receive such a harsh review after we stretched our policies to make sure you could participate. Regarding the content, this is a shared tour focused on the collegiate history of Cambridge. That is exactly what was delivered. Historical facts for mentioned in any tour can always be found online and in academic papers, but the service we provide is the guided experience through the environment where that history happened. We delivered the accurate, comprehensive tour as advertised, and it is unfair to penalize our business and our guide for the weather and your personal choices. We ask you to remove this review. Thank you.
