What you can expect

Walk through Cambridge with someone who knows it from the inside. Our guides are Cambridge students or graduates who combine personal experience with a deep knowledge of the city’s history and architecture. The 90-minute tour includes landmarks like the Eagle Pub, the Mathematical Bridge, King’s College on the Backs, and the Senate House.

You’ll stroll along the streets and the alleys, near the peaceful college courts where Isaac Newton, Niels Bohr, Stephen Hawking, Xu Zhimo, Virginia Woolf, and Srinivasa Ramanujan once walked, immersed in their groundbreaking ideas. Along the way, you’ll admire the city’s elegant blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.

The tour is entirely outdoors, focusing on Cambridge’s streets, squares, and college exteriors. If selected when booking, AFTER THE WALKING TOUR ENDS, your experience can be enriched with a self-guided visit to King’s College Chapel, one of the university’s most historic and beautiful buildings.

To complete your day, your punting tour will start 2 hours after the walking tour begins if you don’t choose the King’s College option, or 3 hours later if you do. Relax on a chauffeured punting cruise along the River Cam, where your guide will share stories about the eight colleges and nine bridges.

Feel free to bring refreshments and enjoy the spirit of Cambridge.
