Highlights
Cambridge is just an hour or so by train from London (or Uber-Taxi ride)and makes for a great day trip or indeed a place for a longer stay. Join me and follow in the footsteps of such luminaries as Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Professor Stephen hawking. Cambridge is famous around the world for its renowned university education and it only takes a few hours here to understand what an inspiring place it is. History seeps outs of every stone as you wonder around this beautiful centre of learning and walking from one college to another through courtyards and into ornate chapels. Cambridge is instantly recognisable from numerous television series and films and we will explore some of the most beautiful and historic sights. We will visit some of the most famous spots and several out of the way too and have time for any souvenirs, tea shops or an old pub along the way.

Itinerary
This museum is full of the most incredible works of classical art and around the world. Well worth going inside after the tour.
A beautiful little medieval church just a little way further out from where most tourists venture but well worth it.
One of majestic views of the River Cam with the famed Mathematical Bridge just a few feet away.
You might call it Math, we call it Maths but either way we will see the famed Mathematical Bridge in Queens College.
Dating back since 1352 we will see this beautiful building from the street and if lucky take a peek at the stunning New Court just beyond the Porters Office.
See some of the beautiful grounds and buildings of the estate of Kings College, Cambridge,
King's College Chapel plays a central role in College life, as well as being the most instantly recognisable and iconic building in Cambridge. Famed almost in equal measure for the largest fan vaulted ceiling and its wondrous carol services.
Perhaps my favourite view of the beautiful River Cam and famed around the world.
See the famous and beautiful River Cam.

The 17th century Eagle pub is a historic Grade II listed public house located on Bene't Street in the centre of Cambridge.

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.
