A joyful and meaningful tour of Cambridge - Outstanding tour with Tony Rodgers, a thoroughly engaging, knowledgeable and vigorous guide who provided a wealth of information, humorous anecdotes and valuable insights. Like Tony, I am a graduate of the university -- decades ago -- though still learned a great deal from him. The tour also sustained the attention and enjoyment of my two young adult sons. Highly recommended to make your special visit to Cambridge all the more meaningful.

Excellent Tour with Tony - We had an amazing tour with the very knowledgeable and entertaining Tony. We loved all the little side notes and trivia as well as all the historical information on the places visited during our tour. My 15 year old son was engaged the whole time… a feat in itself. He said it was the best tour he’d ever been on. We would 100% recommend going on any tour around Cambridge with Tony. Thank you

A tour not to be missed !! - Tony was an amazing and engaging tour guide. He kept us engaged and laughing the entire way, while informing us about the history and traditions of the university and its colleges. Through his humor we will remember all of the dates, people and stories. If I could give him about 5 stars I would. This is a tour not to be missed. Any ages will enjoy Tony!

The best walking tour I've had - Christopher Skilton gave our group an engaging, fun, and educational tour just before Christmas. His knowledge of Cambridge is amazing, and did not hesitate with a prompt genuine answer to every question. On top of that, very personable sincere presentation as we strolled through the King's College area and the chapel itself. I highly recommend him!

Brilliant! - Tony was absolutely brilliant, well pitched for a small group (parents and teen) and really knowledgable. Lots of interesting detail meant two hours absolutely flew by. The funny and quirky stories and his interest in us made it feel like we’d had a much more personal tour than one of the large groups would have been. Chris helped with planning timings around Kings opening hours.

Excellent group walking tour - Excellent group tour and excellent organisation by Tony and his team. They collected from their hotel and guided/walked 80 (in 8 groups) of our international colleagues around King's College Chapel. Very knowledgeable and informative and kept everyone's attention.

In Seach of the Second Rabbit on the Walls of King's College Chapel - I visited Cambridge with my girlfriend and was very fortunate to have been guided by Beverly Van Buuren of Cambridge Tour Guides. Bev, was not only knowledgeable, but she also made the experience most memorable indeed by her warm demeanour and witty views about life in general. She was most polite and took time to explain various intriguiging historical facts. As a fledging academic who is in the process of concluding his thesis, I can say that Bev lit something within me, especially when we stood near the bronze statue of the young Charles Darwin. My girlfriend and I still laugh about her determination to spot the second rabbit on the vast artwork covering the walls of the Great King's College Chepel. She has vowed to come back and finish the conquest, and of couse, I will come with her but only if Bev would be available to take us around. Thank you Cambridge Tour Guides. Thank you Bev. You are the Best!
