  • 5Real history (rather than the gloss)

    Walking and listening to Nina, you start to learn about the real history of the town and get an insight into the mindset of the peole who created the memorials, the biases in favour of the current bases of power and the types of resistance that have emerged to change things. It was genuinely inspiring and I found out about places I had overlooked for years. Nina's a great guide, very knowledgeable & open to questions and discussion. I'd recommend anyone visiting the town or living here to go on one of these tours.

  • 5An enjoyable and thought-provoking tour

    A great tour, very thought-provoking and engaging, with lots of food for thought! You will learn lots of new and unexpected things about this beautiful college town. Very interesting in particular on Cambridge's notorious MP, Oliver Cromwell.

  • 5Great (alternative) tour

    We were last minute accomodated in a shortened version by tour guide Ashley. The tour took us through places that clearly were places that under other circumstances would have been ignored on another tour. It was much appreciated, also by the group and I wish we would have been able to do the entire tour.

About Cambridge

Cambridge is an English university city on the River Cam, famed for its ancient colleges, King's College Chapel and punts gliding along the Backs.

The university, founded in the early thirteenth century, still shapes the centre, with college courts, gatehouses and chapels opening off narrow streets. King's College Chapel, with its fan-vaulted ceiling and tall windows, is the best known, and Trinity's Great Court and the Bridge of Sighs at St John's are close behind. The Fitzwilliam Museum holds antiquities and paintings, and the market square has traded for centuries.

Top-ranked sights in Cambridge: King's College Chapel, Trinity College, Mathematical Bridge.
