Overview

Hear the whole story of Cambridge. From rank Romans, through scary Saxons, vile Vikings and nasty Normans, the ‘Cam-bridge’ was at the centre of English history for over a thousand years before the University was even founded. And learn about what 800 years of dreadful Dons and sickening Students have got up to since, in the company of one of our expertly entertaining guides. If you want a long talk about different types of arches we are not for you - if you want to learn by laughing we are!

Meeting points

Look out for our guides wearing a branded outer/polo/cap (or all 3!) on the Green near the Jesus Lock Footbridge (there are loos here too, always good before a 90 minute walk!) Tours leave within 5 minutes of schedule. IF LATE CALL +44 1223 901 007 AND LEAVE A MESSAGE ON VOICEMAIL.

End point

We end at the famous 'Chronophage', right opposite iconic King's College
