What an excellent tour guide and experience! One of the best walking tours in the UK! - What an excellent experience this was! I spent July travelling around the UK and attended several walking tours in several locations, but this one in Cambridge was the highlight! So informative, and such a fantastic tour guide. The unfortunate thing is I forget the first name of the guide who took us out in the late afternoon session on July 16th. If when you reply to this review, can you add their name, so the review is connected with that excellent tour guide! Regards Michael.

No reason not to... - No reason not to recommend this tour. This was my second visit to Cambridge, and this time it was much more fascinating and inspiring thanks to this tour. I not only learned about the history and practical aspects behind the pretty buildings and the city, but also gained a bigger picture of the countless stories behind them. I feel very lucky that my partner happened to find and choose this tour!

Excellent tour with deep historical knowledge. - David was an excellent tour guide. I really enjoyed this tour; he had a really deep understanding of Reformation and monarchical history at the time of the Reformation, which really enriched the experience. He gave us all the surrounding historical context of the Reformation—with Charles, the Puritans, Mary I, Elizabeth, and Henry VIII—which really helped us understand what we were seeing. As someone who is very interested in Christian and English history, this was excellent.

Excellent and inspiring! - Ian Cooper is a legend - an excellent tour guide! He just needs to speak more clearly and less fast. He has no doubt said his guide words hundreds of times. But he needs to utter them as if he's saying them for the fist time. If he articulates better, his impact would be even greater.

A great time walking the streets of Cambridge - Mary Forster-Lewis, our Cambridge Tour Guide was incredibly entertaining, informative and even engaged our 13 year old and 11 year old granddaughters. While there were hordes of tourists clogging the streets, she knew all the quiet alley ways and sites to make our experience private, easy to hear and safe! She could describe the education process in England so we Americans could understand the differences from ours. She related countless historical tidbits and told engaging stories.

Solid tour with a Christianity lean - Leans quite heavy on a Christian viewpoint - a little beyond what's necessary to describe the history of the university. That said John was a terrific guide and very knowledgeable, with excellent stories. About the right length and covered the main colleges.

Fantastic insight into Cambridge's history - David our guide had a vast knowledge of Cambridge history, the University, its origins in monasteries and its scholars and their interactions. Also got into Emmanuel college.
