Bringing Cambridge to life! - Having the knowledge of a Cambridge alumni on hand certainly bought the University tour to life with lots of interesting information and anecdotes. Annie, our guide, was great. Friendly and knowledgeable and shared stories of her experiences at the University! Definitely worth the investment.

Wonderful tour! - Ari was very patient and funny and shared many interesting stories with us along the way, drawing sound and color as we explained, which would take care of each of us and leave us plenty of time to take pictures. He also shared us a video of their Christmas dinner, which was really fun!

Annie was great! - Annie was a great guide, and her added notes about her personal experience gave it a very real feeling… especially having lived in Stephen Hawking’s house.

Enjoyable walk around Cambridge highlights. - We enjoyed our tour with Evelyn and highly recommend it to everyone interested to walk around Cambridge. One thing I didn’t realize was that by also purchasing the entrance to King’s College, we didn’t get a tour guide for King’s College so it might be little cheaper to buy King’s College tickets separately.

Fun & informative guided tour of colleges - Knowledgeable guides. Capable with sense of humour. Annie: modern languages alumni who has personal experience of the university led us around kings college area and back showing and explaining the importance historically of certain parts of the area. Fascinating and amusing.
