Yay Meg! - We met right outside King's College — there was a large flag-type, so it was easy to find. Our Alum was actually a past and future alum -- Meg. Past undergraduate, currently in Med School. The tour was everything we hoped for: great stories and photo ops as well as an opportunity to find out more about how Cambridge "works." We were bummed as we were hoping to have time to see the chapel (and had paid for it), but the chapel was not available that day. Apparently, this is not uncommon as access can change due to events, etc. However, the folks were great, and I immediately received a refund. Heads up: You can attend the religious services in the respective chapels (we did in Kings AND Trinity!). Inspirational and educational.

A great tour in Cambridge. - We had a wonderful 90 minute walking tour with Megan. She was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the various colleges and social and intellectual history of the times when the colleges were established until the present. Megan was very pleasant and thoughtful and a great guide.

Autumn Cambridge Tour - We were lucky enough to sign up for a group tour but we ended up being the only ones. We had a wonderful tour guide, Megan, all to ourselves. She shared a lot of interesting facts and stories as we strolled the university area on a beautiful autumn day. Thank you Megan for a lovely tour.

Lovely guided tour by Megan - My wife and I had this tour given as a gift for my 60th birthday. We were in a small group of 10 and were guided round by Megan, who was a fabulous guide, knowledgeable and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend this tour which went at a good pace.

Learn and be entertained - Really excellent tour with our guide, Claudia, who was cheery, warm and friendly, with a vast and impressive array of knowledge (as befitting a former student from this wonderful institution). The tour covered the most centrally located (famous?) colleges of the university and was full of fascinating stories. I would heartily recommend this tour. It's worth every penny, and Claudia was wonderfully good humoured when I accidentally blurted out the punchline (in my amusement) of a joke she had set up for the tour. There's much to learn even if you think you know something of the university and it deepened even further my fascination and respect.

Cambridge your given by an alumnus of *Oxford* - The whole thing was bogus; this ostensible “Cambridge alumni tour” was given by a young man who grew up in Cambridge but attended Oxford - that’s right, Cambridge alumni tour given by someone who attended *Oxford.*
