Private family tour - Really good family friendly tour with Jonny. The tour was really interesting and a great way to see Cambridge for the first time. We enjoyed all the stories and learning about the university. It was a great way to get an overview of Cambridge.

Great tour - Excellent tour! Booking a private tour was easy, and, as advised by the tour operator, we booked a timed entry to King’s College. Our guide Veronica grew up in Cambridge so she was able to be generous with facts and anecdotes that gave us a real sense of the town and University. She was responsive to our interests and preferences. She even introduced us to a bowler-hatted porter at one of the colleges. She did an excellent job explaining the architecture and iconography of the King’s chapel, which was a highlight. Highly recommended.

Walking Tour of Cambridge - My wife and I recently completed a walking tour of Cambridge with Cantab and were lucky enough to have had good weather and one of the best guides we have ever come across. She was patient, pleasant and above all knowledgeable on her subject. There is no doubt that if we had not had her guiding us our visit would not have been as enjoyable. So thank you Kirsten.

We highly recommend doing it.

Business social event - We used Cantab Tours for a recent business social event in Cambridge.
Our guide Stewart was excellent in every way, communicating with us before the event to ensure we were kept informed and even accommodating a change of time.
The tour itself was very informative, professional, and fun. A perfect mix for our group. The feedback from our group was unanimous, “What a great tour, filled with history, local knowledge, and wonderful sights”.
Don’t hesitate to book with these guys, you won’t be disappointed.

Very informative and entertaining at the same time! - My husband and I regularly travel to different parts of the UK and have already been to Cambridge about 15 years ago. This time we wanted to know more about the history of the city and especially of the different colleges there. Veronica Speirs was our guide and we enjoyed every minute of the tour. She could answer all our questions and she gave us interesting details about The Eagle and the RAF Pub. She also told us about the most famous scientists that studied and lectured at the different colleges, which we found very interesting.
She even advised us to go on one of the boat tours the next day to enjoy the view on the ancient university buildings from the river Cam.

Friends catchup - A lovely walking tour of central Cambridge with Veronica Speirs our guide was relaxed and friendly with a wonderful knowledge of the city .
As a Cambridge resident Veronica was able to offer some of her own personal insights of life in the city as well.
I live in East Anglia and have visited Cambridge a number of times so it was lovely to do a walking tour this time which provided an historical context of the city and so much more.
Really enjoyed the the fascinating although poignant history of The Eagle pub.ith
