Dick was fantastic! He is very knowledgeable about the history and area. Tailored the tour to the day and interests. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Cambridge! I highly recommend this tour company and if you’re lucky enough to get Dick, even better!!
Thank you. I enjoyed our walk around Cambridge and sharing some of the history and sights of the University and Colleges. I hope you have a safe journey home.
Very informative and well organised. Jo knew her stuff and gave us so much history in two hours. It was a walking tour, but it felt more like a wander around Cambridge with a knowledgeable friend. The best two hours we spent in Cambridge! Thank you Jo!
What a wonderful tour, I highly recommend this as I have lived as a "Local" in Cambridge for over 40 years and I learnt things that I never knew about this beautiful city of Cambridge that I live in. Jo our tour guide is extremely knowledgeable about all things connected to the University and explained many interesting facts about every college that we visited. We even had a short stop in the Eagle pub and learnt about the history of the famous "airmans bar." I loved this walking tour it was full of fun and interesting facts Very professional and a great afternoon was had by all of my group of friends.
Jo was a very welcoming guide. She made the experience very interesting & light humoured. Jo is a very knowledgeable tour guide, she answered every question we asked, the time went extremely quickly. She was mindful of the groups needs & requirements & kept us safe. We would highly recommend.
We were a group of 4 cycling friends, who knew a bit about Cambridge and wanted to know more. Our guide, Jo, was very knowledgeable and friendly. It felt more like a stroll with a friend. This was 2 hours very well spent. Thank you Jo for answering all our questions and giving us lots of historical context!
Friends birthday tour went really well. Jo our tour guide was full of knowledge about the colleges, Cambridge business, Cambridge life as a local and student. Her knowledge about the history of the Colleges, who designed and constructed them and where the materials came from fascinated me. Loved hearing about the strength of the women all those years ago. She will share Stories about some mischievous students lifestyle, ask her about the mini on top of Kings chapel ( she’ll share photos too) Jo’s knowledge of Cambridge previous students that went on to become famous for changing the course of history will fascinate even those that aren’t into history. Some lovely stops on the our tour for drinks and my favourite was at the Eagel pub .. she’ll tell you about the American service men which is still very relatable to this day.❤️ Jo was so easy to listen to, very engaging Answered questions with genuine passion and interest of the subject, highly recommend Jo to be your next walking tour guide.

I travelled with my 3 teenage children from London and we all thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour with our local guide Dick. It’s not easy to keep kids entertained for 2 hours but he managed to keep them interested and answered all of our questions. Grateful for all the recommendations to have a nice meal. If you have a sweet tooth like us definitely ask your guide to show the best gelato place in Cambridge- we went there 3 days in a row and all the flavours were delicious and worth queueing up for.
Aurelija Thank you. It was a delight to meet you and your lovely children. I'm pleased you all liked the gelato!! Maybe you will come back one day. Kind regards Dick
Jo’s knowledge and obvious enjoyment in the history and environs of Cambridge was shared with us in a friendly and enthusiastic manner. We saw everything we wanted and more and came away feeling educated and having thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, especially Kings College and Chapel. Her explanations about the stained glass windows were so revealing - we could not have done it without her. A highly recommended experience.
Our tour guide Abby was amazing! She was local and incredibly knowledgeable and it was evident she was passionate about sharing her love for the city. Overall a wonderful experience!
Jennifer Thank you for your kind words. Abby is a wonderful guide and we are very fortunate to be able to call on her services. It is a wonderful city.
It was the best educational experience of how The University of Cambridge has had a worldwide influence on the Arts and Sciences. All of the group came away with a wider knowledge and a thirst for further research on Cambridge and its history.
We are delighted you enjoyed your tour of Cambridge, it is a wonderful place to visit.
