Good tour for family with young kids - Bringing along young kids, I can’t always join more expensive walking tours as most of the time it’s too long for kids to stay focused. However this is just perfect for us to take our own pace, and the guide is really good in getting us intrigued about their school life, so thank you and will definitely recommend. I’d join their other tours!

Interesting town walk - Very nice experience. We can do it at our own pace. The narration was also very interesting, especially about the college itself.

For people who don't like big group tours, this was perfect! - Loved this experience! Perfect for current times where you can completely avoid the crowds and other people and explore Cambridge in your own time. I always hate doing big group tours and this was such a perfect way to get an overview of Cambridge while exploring by yourself

Do it yourself App tour. - Was nice but it wasn't obvious when I booked it that it was a do it yourself audio tour on an app. That should be obvious and clear at the outset so that it's an informed decision to start with. I was frankly expecting a guide when I booked.
