Cambridge University Tour door AlumniTM met optionele King's Chapel
Beschrijving
Dit is de originele Alumni TourTM — de eerste in zijn soort en de meest professionele ervaring in de stad. Onze tours worden geleid door Cambridge studenten en afgestudeerden die echte persoonlijke ervaring combineren met een diepe kennis van de geschiedenis en architectuur van de stad. De 90 minuten durende tour omvat iconische bezienswaardigheden zoals de Corpus Clock, de Mathematical Bridge en King's College van de iconische Backs. De tour is volledig in de buitenlucht, met de nadruk op de historische straten, pleinen en universiteit buitenkanten van Cambridge. Indien geselecteerd bij het boeken, kan uw ervaring worden verrijkt nadat de wandeltocht eindigt met een bezoek aan King's College Chapel, het absolute kroonjuweel van Engelse gotische architectuur. Je komt langs rustige collegelanen en grasvelden waar Isaac Newton een revolutie teweegbracht in de natuurkunde, Charles Darwin zijn theorieën ontwikkelde en waar Stephen Hawking studeerde en inspiratie vond. Beschikbaar in het Engels, 中文 en Español op aanvraag.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Ontmoet je Alumni Gids buiten King's College, op King's Parade. Je Gids draagt een kledingstuk van koningsblauwe kleding – zoals een jas, sjaal, pet, beanie of poloshirt – met het heraldische symbool van Alumni Tours erop.
Leer meer over het fascinerende verhaal achter het ontwerp van deze beroemde klok, waarbij je de details opmerkt die een ongeïnformeerde waarnemer gemakkelijk kan missen!
Bezoek The Eagle pub – waar de geschiedenis leeft in elke hoek, van WOII piloten tot de wetenschappers van het nabijgelegen Cavendish Laboratory. Met meer dan 400 jaar geschiedenis bevat deze pub talloze opmerkelijke verhalen.
Ontdek de plek die Cambridge op de kaart van de wetenschappelijke wereld zette – een plek die de geschiedenis van de wetenschap en de geschiedenis van de mensheid ook veranderde.
Luister naar je student-gids die de (ietwat duistere!) geschiedenis van het Corpus Christi College beschrijft, en stel gerust vragen over het College of het studentenleven
Hoor over de reden waarom dit Queens' College is in plaats van Queen's, en ontdek de mythes die er in overvloed zijn over de nabijgelegen Mathematical Bridge
Loop langs de beroemde College Backs terwijl je leert over de geschiedenis van King's College en hoe het is gerelateerd aan drie verschillende King Henry's
Thuisbasis van enkele van de beroemdste alumni, hoor de kijk van een student op de rivaliteit tussen Trinity en St John's!
Bewonder het prachtige profiel van St John's College, bekend om zijn grootse architectuur en opmerkelijke alumni. Een perfecte mix van geschiedenis en schoonheid langs de rivier de Cam.
Krijg het perspectief van een student op de praktijk van de openbare bekendmaking van cijfers, en krijg een glimp van de specifieke tradities van de Universiteit van Cambridge terwijl je hoort over de afstudeerceremonie.
##BELANGRIJK: deze optie moet worden geselecteerd als een upgrade van het wandeltourticket. Zorg ervoor dat u deze selecteert. Het bezoek aan de kapel is op zichzelf staand aan het einde van de 90 minuten durende wandeltocht, en wordt niet begeleid door onze officiële gids. De duur van het bezoek is een basisbenadering, maar u kunt de kapel verlaten wanneer u wilt.

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.
Great tour guide with John F, really informative and easy walk overall. We learned a lot about the college system and how students engage with the university.
This was a great walking tour to get a good overview of Cambridge University’s historic colleges, traditions and buildings. Our tour guide (Sam) was full of interesting information and was able to answer any of the questions we asked. The tour of about 2.5 hours went very fast. I fully recommend this tour for those visiting Cambridge wanting to learn about the University and its colleges.
Very enjoyable, just the right amount of information and a pinch of lighthearted humour - a recipe for a great tour. We attended with two teenager daughters and they loved it too. Lucy was happy to answer all our questions about life as a CU student which was very helpful.
This was a wonderful tour! Our guide, Sam, was absolutely lovely, so knowledgable and entertaining. The group was mostly older people wanting to see the town, but as someone who is looking to apply to Cambridge, Sam did a great job of giving information about what the Cambridge experience is like, about the colleges and academics. The group was large, but it still felt tailored to suit everyone's interests.
Oishi is very knowledgeable and is a PhD student at the college. We covered many colleges during the walk. he told us some great details of histories and background of how colleges come about, all happened during the heatwave. He’s very relatable and considerate of walking speed, patiently answers many questions and we had a great time, so thank you!
We LOVED our visit to Cambridge as led by the awesome and friendly Sam! Sam was very knowledgeable, friendly, and considerate of everyone in the group as we often walked in the shade during a very hot day. He balanced the history of the colleges with daily student life and traditions very well. Thank you Sam for making our first visit to Cambridge a wonderful one!
John was an amazing guide and answering all our questions. The tour went a little over the hour but we were happy with that extra time.
