Excellent tour - Great visit! Adding a visit to the King’s College Chapel is worth the cost. Miah is an excellent guide who had several interesting examples to tell about different Cambridge colleges.

A Great Tour by a great Guide! - We had an amazing guide, Islander Elkilany who showed my boys all the main sites on campus. We didn’t have much time and the boys are in middle school but he got them so motivated and was so enthusiastic that they came home wanting to work hard to go to Cambridge! We couldn’t see the chapel due to time constraint l. I’ve been there before but Islanders attitude and knowledge of the school history made this tour more interesting. He took us to the little nooks and corners which were student favourites which excited the young boys! Great Job!

Excellent Private Tour with a Great Guide-Alannah - We had a wonderful private family tour in Cambridge last week, and our guide, Alannah Herbert, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the history of the city come alive for us. Everything was well-organized and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour — especially with Alannah as your guide!
