Best way to learn about Cambridge and it's Universities - What a great way to discover the history, student life and general feel of Cambridge! Our guide John was fabulous. He was so knowledgeable, patient and a great person to have a chat with to get an inside view of Cambridge University life. We had previously walked around Cambridge on our own but got to learn so much more about the buildings and history with John. Highly recommend.

Great Tour - Awesome guide - Went on a tour with my wife and our 12 year old. Normally, these tours are kind of blah - but this one was really fun. It was only about 8 people, so small - and our guide - Shivali - knew so much about the history of Cambridge and each college. I am very sure she has done extra-credit studying / reading about this, as her knowledge was deep. She also had a great rapport with our 12 year old who was super engaged.

A Perfect Blend of History, Stories, and Charm - Arushi made the Cambridge walking tour both engaging and insightful with her deep knowledge of the university’s history and student life. She explained everything clearly, answered questions thoughtfully, and added little details that made the city feel alive rather than just a set of landmarks. Her friendly and approachable style made the tour enjoyable from start to finish, and it felt like getting a genuine insider’s perspective rather than a scripted guide

Alumni University walking tour - We went on the alumni university walking tour. We got very lucky with the weather, a beautiful April afternoon. John our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and ran the tour at a great pace. Yes we ran over time a little, but we didn’t feel rushed, we able to take in the beauty of Cambridge, and learnt some great information along the way. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect Sunday morning walking in Cambridge - This walking tour is the perfect way to begin to understand Cambridge. Our tour guide Shalvi was excellent. She was friendly, confident and a great communicator. Beginning with the story of how Cambridge University was formed, to the way the university is structured according to the collegiate system she got an enormous amount of information across in a short time. Shalvi also allowed time for questions which she answered confidently. We couldn't rate her or the tour more highly. We wish her well in her future studies and career. Highly recommended.
