I want you enjoy this tour, so it's full of dark, romantic, funny stories and dismal jokes...all designed to tell the amazing tale of Cambridge and its world famous university, in a way that's fun and unforgettable.

We'll walk through the historic City Centre and the Backs, seeing gorgeous landmarks.

YOU'LL HEAR

- how Cambridge University began as a bunch of religious schools more than 800 years ago, because of a bloody riot in Oxford

- how it has taught and hosted countless famous people who changed the world

- how a religious scholar scribbling at the top of a tiny tower shook the whole of Europe

- The despicable reason why our two greatest colleges are bitter rivals

YOU'LL SEE:

- the FRONT QUAD of a historic college (if open that day)

- the RAF bar and the most famous bridge in China (really!)

- a small 19th century lab that was once the world's greatest science centre

- stunning LANDMARKS

- the river Cam and its charming BRIDGES

We wanted to book a tour guide to know more about the college and we were pleasantly surprised. David was very funny, knowledgeable and overall a nice person to be around. The tour was a perfect mix of history and fun facts, he was open to question and was very prepared on all of them! Definitely recommend the experience!

I recently attended a walking tour of the Cambridge colleges, and it was absolutely brilliant. The hour and a half simply flew by! Even after living in Cambridge for four years, I learnt so many fascinating new facts and stories about the city and its university. Thank you so much for such a wonderful and engaging experience – it was a lovely way to spend the time. Highly recommended!
fun and spooky!

David was communicative both before I booked, and helpful in finding me when I got to the meeting place. The tour was through in discussing the full history of all the colleges, and the surrounding area. We had good weather, and got to witness punting as well, and he shared information about this. I learned so much of the area, the pubs ( I did eat at his recommendation afterward!), and I really enjoyed my experience. I found this to be a great overview of the Cambridge area, and David answered all my questions, and shared his insights.
Fantastic

We had a really great time on this Cambridge tour, thanks to David. He is very knowledgeable and shares interesting stories that make the history feel alive, not just like a list of facts. He took us around the universities and colleges and explained things in a way that was easy to follow and actually enjoyable. You can tell he knows a lot, but he keeps it relaxed and not overwhelming. Overall, it was a lovely experience and I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to see Cambridge properly.
