Great (alternative) tour

Published on May, 2025

We were last minute accomodated in a shortened version by tour guide Ashley. The tour took us through places that clearly were places that under other circumstances would have been ignored on another tour. It was much appreciated, also by the group and I wish we would have been able to do the entire tour.

Fun, interactive tour covering many areas of history!

Published on Mar, 2025

We went on this tour as a group, and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was punctual, friendly, and incredibly well-informed about many areas of Cambridge's history. The tour focuses on the area around King's Parade and the backs, and we learnt a lot about buildings and places that we had passed many times before. Rather than just info-dumping, the tour guide was excellent at starting conversations and kept the tour engaging throughout.
