Peter tailored his informative narrative to the background of his participants. Bringing time and humanity alive. He brought the stories of science alive and summarised the academic and historical facts in a very meaningful way. We loved the story he told about the bicycle being moved. We were impacted by the story of (Isaac Newton) and a power for evil (Henry the 8th) overall he was informative, interesting and highly entertaining and we thoroughly enjoyed this tour!!!

We had a fantastic two hour private tour with Yvonne. The tour was very informative and nicely paced. We wanted it to appeal to young teenagers with a maths/science interest and it was well pitched. The colleges are closed for the exam period but nevertheless there was much to see. Exceeded my expectations and fully recommend

Mary was a lovely guide for a walk around Cambridge this morning, on my first trip here. I was able to ask her questions about all sorts of things, and I learned so much about history, architecture, and local flavor. I recommend this tour and Mary to anyone who is interested in a high-level overview of the central college area.

Really good family friendly tour with Jonny. The tour was really interesting and a great way to see Cambridge for the first time. We enjoyed all the stories and learning about the university. It was a great way to get an overview of Cambridge.

Excellent tour! Booking a private tour was easy, and, as advised by the tour operator, we booked a timed entry to King’s College. Our guide Veronica grew up in Cambridge so she was able to be generous with facts and anecdotes that gave us a real sense of the town and University. She was responsive to our interests and preferences. She even introduced us to a bowler-hatted porter at one of the colleges. She did an excellent job explaining the architecture and iconography of the King’s chapel, which was a highlight. Highly recommended.

My wife and I recently completed a walking tour of Cambridge with Cantab and were lucky enough to have had good weather and one of the best guides we have ever come across. She was patient, pleasant and above all knowledgeable on her subject. There is no doubt that if we had not had her guiding us our visit would not have been as enjoyable. So thank you Kirsten.

We had a lovely private 1h30 tour with our guide Kirsten. She took us around the key points of the city and told us all about the colleges, Cambridge history, etc… We highly recommend doing it.

We used Cantab Tours for a recent business social event in Cambridge. Our guide Stewart was excellent in every way, communicating with us before the event to ensure we were kept informed and even accommodating a change of time. The tour itself was very informative, professional, and fun. A perfect mix for our group. The feedback from our group was unanimous, “What a great tour, filled with history, local knowledge, and wonderful sights”. Don’t hesitate to book with these guys, you won’t be disappointed.
