    The best tour I’ve been on in Cambridge. Rowena is an incredibly knowledge, enthusiastic, engaging, and kind tour guide. This tour in particular was unique because she dives into the several scientific discoveries made at Cambridge and leads you to the buildings and important places where they were made/celebrated. Her tours are a must-do for your visit to Cambridge!

    Our family of three did the science tour. It was wonderful and super enriching. Our guide is a doctor student who is highly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. We learned many stories about scientists affiliated with Cambridge. Visited several main colleges of Cambridge and some famous sites. For science lovers, I also recommend visiting a couple of museums before and after the tour. We did the museum of earth sciences before the tour and the polar museum after the tour. Amazing! We also purchased separate tickets to visit the King's college chapel. Magnificent!
