Cambridge University Tour by AlumniTM med King's Chapel som tillval
Beskrivning
Detta är den ursprungliga Alumni TourTM - den första i sitt slag och den mest professionella erfarenheten i staden. Våra turer leds av Cambridge studenter och akademiker som kombinerar genuin personlig erfarenhet med en djup kunskap om stadens historia och arkitektur. Den 90 minuter långa rundturen inkluderar ikoniska landmärken som Corpus Clock, Mathematical Bridge och King’s College från de ikoniska Backs. Turen är helt utomhus, med fokus på Cambridge historiska gator, torg och college exteriörer. Om du väljer detta när du bokar, kan din upplevelse berikas efter vandringsturen avslutas med ett besök i King’s College Chapel, den absoluta kronjuvelen i Engelska gotiska arkitekturen. Du kommer att passera genom lugna college gränder och tillbaka gräsmattor där Isaac Newton revolutionerade fysiken, Charles Darwin utvecklade sina teorier, och där Stephen Hawking studerade och fann inspiration. Finns på Engelska, 中文 och Español på begäran.
Turalternativ
Resplan
Möt din Alumni Guide utanför King's College, på King's Parade. Din guide kommer att bära ett kungsblått klädesplagg – till exempel en jacka, halsduk, keps, mössa eller pikétröja – med den heraldiska symbolen för Alumni Tours på.
Lär dig om den fascinerande historien bakom designen av denna berömda klocka, att lägga märke till detaljer än en oinformerad observatör lätt kan missa!
Besök puben The Eagle – där historien lever i varje hörn, från flygare från andra världskriget till forskarna på det närliggande Cavendish Laboratory. Med över 400 års historia rymmer denna pub otaliga anmärkningsvärda historier.
Upptäck platsen som satte Cambridge på kartan över den vetenskapliga världen – en plats som förändrade vetenskapens och mänsklighetens historia också.
Lyssna på din studentguide som beskriver Corpus Christi Colleges (något mörka!) historia och ställ gärna frågor om högskolan eller studentlivet
Hör om anledningen till att detta är Queens College snarare än Queens, och upptäck myterna som finns i överflöd om den närliggande matematiska bron
Promenera längs den berömda College Backs medan du lär dig om historien om King's College och hur det är relaterat till tre olika King Henrys
Hem för några av de mest kända alumnerna, hör en elevs ta på rivaliteten mellan Trinity och St John's!
Beundra den magnifika profilen av St John's College, känd för sin storslagna arkitektur och anmärkningsvärda alumner. En perfekt blandning av historia och skönhet längs floden Cam.
Få en student perspektiv på praktiken av det offentliga tillkännagivandet av betyg, och få en inblick i de särskilda traditionerna vid University of Cambridge medan du hör om examensceremonin.
##VIKTIGT: Detta alternativ måste väljas som en uppgradering av rundtursbiljetten. Vänligen se till att du väljer det. Besöket av kapellet är självstyrt i slutet av 90 minuters rundvandring, och det övervakas inte av vår officiella guide. Besökets längd är en grundläggande uppskattning, men du kan lämna kapellet när du vill.

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.
