London Private Day In Cambridge Tour By Train
Great day in Cambridge.
Great day in Cambridge. Micheal, our tour guide, was knowledgeable about the town and university. Since it was a private tour we were able to go at our own pace.

The Most Entertaining Tour of Cambridge by An Ex-Student
Wonderful tour
Our tour guide had a wonderful array of knowledge. He tailored the tour to our interests, and showed us a lot in 2 hours. The length of time was perfect, not too long, and not too short.
