Best thing I did in Cambridge

Published on Aug, 2024

This was such a great way to spend my one afternoon in Cambridge. Having arrived in Cambridge at an awkward time (2:30pm), I'd missed the opportunity to join a group walking tour around the city, and decided to purchase an Audio Guide. Flo was a fantastic guide, giving helpful recommendations and insight into much of Cambridge's rich history. It was affordable, engaging and a great way to see Cambridge. Would highly recommend this for solo-travellers in particular, as you can go at your own pace much more than in a group walking-tour.
