Inclusions
What's included
- An awesome guide!
What's not
- We will be touring Cambridge and seeing but not entering Colleges usually, due to time and cost
Itinerary
The tour specific itinerary will vary depending on group and questions but typical itinerary:
We start at Magdalene Bridge, a crossroads since before England existed and site of a 'ducking stool' for witches
Hear the story of the Round Church, founded by returning Crusaders and the scene of many exorcisms
Clare College - The home of the bizarre story of the original 'skeleton in the cupboard'
Market Square - Home to lovely streetfood now, but 500 years ago it was a different meat burning....
Benet Streer - The oldest building in Cambridge, opposite a pub whose lease states a particular window must always be open because of the suffocating feeling all customers experience when its ghosts are trapped inside
Corups Christi - Home of some famous ghosts, including a Master of the college and another famous cupboard!
Sidney Sussex - The resting place of Oliver Cromwell - well, a bit of him at least, and maybe not resting as such...

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.
