5.00Great tour! I participated in the 11am tour with the optional King’s College entry and loved it! Our guide, Hermione, was fantastic: very knowledgeable and engaging! She managed to cram a lot of information into a short period of time, with some downtime (while walking) for side conversations and restaurant recommendations! It’s a fair amount of walking on uneven streets so be forewarned. We ended the tour at the King’s College Chapel where we could look around at our own pace. I recommend doing a punting tour as well after this tour (but remember to leave time for lunch!). Also, note that the tour starts about a 30 min walk from the train station, so leave enough time to get there! Overall, I highly recommend doing this tour with footprints (and check out their Oxford tour too! It’s also fantastic!)
Guided visit was good
