7 middle aged women let... - 7 middle aged women let loose in cambridge and our tour guides looked after us amazingly. David our tour guide for the walk around the streets was so good, he talked in a very engaging manner which made all the history about Cambridge so interesting. Highly recommemd trying to get David as your guide. Teddy was our punting guide. A young man who was so much fun and great at punting. The punting gave us a different view of Cambridge and Teddy also had loads of information to share. It was a fun, interesting day which I can highly recommend. Both guides were so good. Must do tour.

A Great Tour, Rain or Shine! - David was an enthusiastic, engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. Despite non-stop torrential rain he found places of shelter that were interesting and relevant. He was also helpful in getting us to KC Chapel and the punt. All three elements of the tour were great

Variety of activities and informative! - Francesco was great! Learned so much through the walking and punting portion of the tour (conflicting stories on the mathematical bring, but that makes it fun). Kings college entry is self guided and a bit expensive just to enter and circle out, but it’s stunning! Overall cost was high but experience was lovely. Thanks again!

Thank you to Annie for an informative and fun walking tour and to Archie for being our punting guide. The hot water bottles and blankets were very much appreciated by us all too. Thank you again.
