Georgie - the best Cambridge tour guide ever - We had a great personal tour around the colleges. It was delivered by Georgie who was both awesome and delightful, hugely informative and happy to answer any questions. Georgie also (don’t tell anyone 😉) snuck us into a college to have a look around. The tour really made our visit to Cambridge worth it.
