Overview

Our guides, Cambridge alumni or students, blend personal experiences with a passion for the city's history and architecture. Our 90-minute tour covers highlights like the Corpus Clock, the Eagle Pub, the Old Cavendish Laboratory, Queens’ College and the Mathematical Bridge, King’s College from the Backs, Trinity College, Trinity Hall and St. John’s College, Gonville and Caius, the Senate House. Take a fascinating walk through Cambridge, where history comes alive. Be inspired by the colleges of Alan Turing, Lord Byron, Isaac Newton, and Stephen Hawking while admiring stunning Gothic and Baroque architecture. Marvel at a thousand-year-old Anglo-Saxon church tower and a contemporary (and controversial) clock that doesn’t even tell the time properly. Cambridge is a city full of inspiring, baffling, and downright outrageous stories waiting to be told.

Meeting points

Gather outside the entrance of King’s College on King's Parade. On busy days, look for a blue flag. Your guide is in royal blue attire, such as a jacket, cap, beanie, or polo shirt with a shielded crest. If you're having trouble finding them, please, approach anyone in this attire and kindly ask.

End point

Open in Google Maps

If you booked the option to enter King's College, your guide will bring you inside the chapel after the end of the tour.

Itinerary

  • King's College

    Meet your Alumni Guide outside King's College, on King's Parade. They will be wearing a blue hat with the Alumni Tours logo on (or other item of Alumni Tours uniform), and will check you in for your tour

    5 minutes

  • Corpus Clock

    Learn about the fascinating story behind the design of this famous clock, noticing the details than an uninformed observer could easily miss!

    10 minutes

  • Corpus Christi College

    Listen to your student-guide describe the (somewhat dark!) history of Corpus Christi College, and feel free to ask any questions about the College or student life

    5 minutes

  • Queens' College

    Hear about the reason why this is Queens' College rather than Queen's, and discover the myths that abound about the nearby Mathematical Bridge

    5 minutes

  • The Backs

    Walk along by the famous College Backs while you learn about the history of King's College and how it is related to three different King Henrys

    10 minutes

    5 minutes

  • King's College Chapel (Pass By)

    IMPORTANT: this option must be selected as an upgrade of the walking tour ticket. Please, make sure that you select it. The visit of the chapel is self-guided at the end of the 90 minutes walking tour, and it is not supervised by our official guide. The duration of the visit is a basic approximation, but you can leave the chapel when you prefer.
