Our guide was warm and knowledgeable. I would have loved another hour of conversion. You n won't want to miss this tour.
Excellent guide - engaging, insightful, questioning and fun. The experience explains Cambridge and British history.
Thank you so much for this kind review! We hope you join us again.
A great tour, very thought-provoking and engaging, with lots of food for thought! You will learn lots of new and unexpected things about this beautiful college town. Very interesting in particular on Cambridge's notorious MP, Oliver Cromwell.
Thank you for kind review! Glad you found the section on Cromwell interesting too - he is certainly a legendary figure. Please join us again soon!
We were last minute accomodated in a shortened version by tour guide Ashley. The tour took us through places that clearly were places that under other circumstances would have been ignored on another tour. It was much appreciated, also by the group and I wish we would have been able to do the entire tour.
Interesting, enreaching and engeaging. Strongly suggested. The guide was extremely well prepared and organized. Nice Company.
We went on this tour as a group, and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was punctual, friendly, and incredibly well-informed about many areas of Cambridge's history. The tour focuses on the area around King's Parade and the backs, and we learnt a lot about buildings and places that we had passed many times before. Rather than just info-dumping, the tour guide was excellent at starting conversations and kept the tour engaging throughout.
We did the tour in January - our tour guide was Shubham who was great. The information was really thought provoking and delivered in short bursts so was engaging. We really loved how interactive it was
Malak was a great guide. Many interesting background stories about Cambridge. Will recommend to anyone looking for a non typical Cambridge tour.
Such a well researched tour about part of Cambridge histories that do not often got shared. We had exciting conversations and exchanges on the tour! Really enjoy the tour despite we went during the storm! I've lived in Cambridge for 2 years as student and working but still learned a lot during the tour. Will definitely recommend for anyone who is visiting or living in Cam!
An excellent tour - highly recommended for anyone interested in looking beyond the superficial to uncover legacies of injustice and inequity and how these live on today. Our tour guide Ashley was great - encouraging reflection and discussion from all of us on the tour on our own reflections and perspectives which created a personalised and enriched experience. Just the right level of info, not long lectures at each stop. But her rich knowledge meant that she was able to answer questions and add information during the the discussion so that we could dig a little deeper in areas we were interested. Created a warm and safe space for conversation and learning. A much more meaningful and enjoyable experience than the typical tourist trap.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we have transmitted your review to Ashley! We're glad this was a meaningful experience for you and hope to see you again on one of our tours!
