Cambridge University was established by scholars from Oxford who fled the town/gown riots in the 13th century. Since then, the two universities have maintained a friendly (and occasionally not so friendly!) rivalry for many centuries. The most renowned example of this is the annual Boat Race on the River Thames. As England’s two oldest universities, they are often referred to as ‘Oxbridge’.

Today, the ‘modern’ city of Cambridge boasts a diverse selection of bookshops, cafes, pubs, live music venues, galleries, museums, and picturesque riverside parks. The banks of the River Cam are delightful spots during the summer months.

On this private walking tour of this renowned city, the guide will assist in revealing the numerous layers and stories of both Cambridge and its distinguished alumni, including notable figures such as Stephen Hawking, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, and several prime ministers.

Relish the charming, historic yet lively atmosphere – and enjoy a stop for a pint at a local, historic tavern afterwards.
