Alternative history of Cambridge - Annie was our tour guide and she did a fantastic job. There were only a handful of us so it was quite intimate and Annie was really knowledgeable and described all the stories in lots of detail

Cambridge ghost tour - Megan was already waiting at the meeting point when we arrived and throughout the tour was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The content was very interesting and Megan was a great guide. The tour itself gave a good insight into the history of Cambridge and helped us with suggestions of places to visit for the remainder of out stay. We would highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to have Megan as you guide you are in for a treat.

Recommend - Lovely tour, lots of good stories. Megan was very friendly as well as knowledgeable - weather was dreadful - lots of rain - but Megan found places to shelter whilst telling her stories so all was well!

Great ghostly goings on in Cambridge - We had a tour guide called Alex.. who was a local lady (to Cambridge). she was very very friendly and a font of knowledge. She even outwitted us on the history of Waterloo "teeth" (and we live in Waterloo, Belgium). Very impressive indeed so well done Alex and bonne chance.

Excellent tour experience - My mother and I had the pleasure of doing both the general alumni tour with Isla and the ghost tour with Alex. They were both incredibly engaging, knowledgeable, and attentive to questions! We absolutely loved our tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting this historic university. There is a world of insights and stories you would miss without their expert knowledge.

Great tour, Alex was awesome - Alex was an awesome tour guide! She has incredible knowledge about Cambridge. Very cool stuff on this tour, and it’s nice to have more perspective on things you walk by and otherwise wouldn’t know about.

Good but please note. - This is definitely worth doing. It's a good walk and it's interesting, although you can't be sure how much of it to believe. The tour guide was a bit too prescriptive and followed a script for us to really be able to get into it. She wasn't particularly personable and ended the tour suddenly in a different place to where we started, leaving us lost, hence the rating.
