Cambridge with Rupert - the most wonderful guided tour ever - The guided Cambridge tour with Rupert was outstanding. His historical and academic explanations were delivered with great wit and charm. As an active student himself, Rupert was the perfect insider to answer all our questions. His extraordinary stories and amusing legends left a lasting impression on us. It was one of the best tours I have ever experienced anywhere in the world. A highly recommended tour, and many thanks again to the wonderful Rupert.

Great walking tour of Cambridge colleges - Loved this tour with our friendly & knowledgeable guide Lucy. My Japanese friend found it fascinating and I learned a lot too (despite having visited Cambridge before)! And the final visit to King's College Chapel was definitely worth it. Thank you Lucy! I would highly recommend this guided tour.

Informed stroll around Cambridge - Today I was lucky enough to enjoy a small group tour of just three, lead by our very knowledgeable guide Lucy. Lucy was engaging and took her time at stops to give insider knowledge and answer our questions. Lucy was kind enough to even go on a slight detour to show me the college my uncle attended. Thanks for a great tour!

Great tour and tour guide - 10/10 recommend! - Had a great time with our tour guide Arushi (AG), who was not only really knowledgeable about the history and quirks of Cambridge, but also quick on her feet with fun jokes ready to go! I thought it was really cool to actually hear things from the perspective of a Cambridge alumni - definitely added another layer to the tour. Thanks for the tour and the book rec Arushi!
