We booked two Cambridge tours with Tatiana, and both times we were absolutely delighted. What impressed us most was that the tours were completely different — Tatiana adapts the material and presentation to the audience, which makes the experience feel very personal and engaging. The three hours flew by unnoticed, and we learned so many new and fascinating things. Highly recommend!
We had a great time with Tatiana, our private tour was very informative and well structured. Tatiana answered all of our questions and was generally very approachable and nice. Thanks a lot, this tour made our trip to Cambridge very memorable!
Thank you, Pavel, for your lovely review! I really enjoyed showing you and your father the essence of Cambridge, especially since we have a shared love of history!
Private tour with Tangential was the highlight of our weekend break in Cambridge. In fact we only decided to travel there after confirming a booking with Tatiana. In a few hours we got much better understanding of the University and its history than from two days wandering by ourselves and reading online guides beforehand. As a London based family with kids 16, 13, 10, and hopefully future university applicants, we had very specific interests and questions and Tatiana could address them all - things like history of science in Cambridge, colleges, mathematical notations of Newton vs Leibnitz, relating to wider European religious and cultural context.
Thank you, Roman, for your great review! I am really glad that you enjoyed the tour, and I'd be more than happy to show you other parts of Cambridge should you like to come again. :)
Thank you Tatiana for the wonderful tour of Cambridge! Everything was very nice. Time has passed by unnoticed. Learned a lot about the city! We'll definitely come again!
Ольга, благодарю за прекрасный отзыв. Очень рада, что вам понравилось - приезжайте ещё! :)
We wanted to visit Cambridge the first time we visited the UK, but somehow it never worked out. Then the opportunity arose, and we immediately took advantage of it. But the biggest bonus for us was our guide to this wonderful city, Tatyana. Having lived there for a long time, she accurately conveyed the history of this amazing place, and very competently and clearly immersed us in the nuances associated with Trinity College. We even went inside, seeing and hearing all the most interesting things! We also visited other interesting places. The three hours flew by. Huge thanks to Tatyana for the wonderful tour! And thank you for visiting Cambridge at this particular time, because the most valuable thing is the emotions you gave us, and they will stay with us forever!
Thank you so much for your very kind and positive review! I really appreciate it, and I am happy that you found the experience memorable and our city fascinating. Do come again - I would be delighted to show you more! :)
Tanya was so knowledgeable and considerate! She immediately asked what we had seen in Cambridge and what we would like to see and instantly designed a fabulous tour. Don’t miss this!
It was a pleasure to meet you both, and I am happy that you enjoyed the tour! Thank you, Mary, for your great review.
My daughter and I came to Cambridge for the first time. Walking around on our own did not allow us to form an impression of the city. The next day we had a city tour with a guide Tatyana. The city opened up to us and we had a lot of fun walking with Tatyana. She is a very interesting person, pleasant to talk to and a very knowledgeable guide. At the same time, all the information was given compactly, not overloaded and very comfortable for perception. I hope to meet her on our next visit and highly recommend her to all tourists.
Thanks so much for your great review! It would be lovely to show you more of our beautiful city if you decide to come here again!
We had an amazing tour of Cambridge, with a focus on the university, with Tatiana Yurasova as our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable, creative, and engaging throughout the entire experience. Tatiana's deep understanding of the history and culture of Cambridge was clear, but what really made the tour special was how she brought everything to life with interesting stories and unique insights. She had a way of making history feel relevant and fun. We left the tour feeling like we had truly experienced the essence of Cambridge. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an informative and enjoyable tour!
Thank you very much for such a positive review! I am very happy that you enjoyed the experience!
Tatiana is very knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic. She is also a lot of fun. If you want to learn about Cambridge history and lifestyle through the eyes of somebody who is very passionate and entertaining, sign up for this tour!
Thank you, Yana! I am glad you enjoyed the tour. Would be happy to show you more of Cambridge, should you decide to come back.
We had a great time with Tatiana and I believe she knows everything about Cambridge. But this is not about how many facts you know. This is about the way you share them. It wasn't a history class or something you can find on Youtube, it was full of facts and the stories you wouldn't find in an average guidebook and that might be interesting for you specifically. We traveled around UK for 10 days, had several interesting tours and I can say the one with Tatiana was the best one. Thank you, Tatiana!
Ildar, thanks very much for your lovely review! I am really pleased that you found it interesting and useful. Do come back!
