Lindsay was fantastic and endured extreme weather conditions to proceed with our tour! A good overview of the uni system
Derry_Snorkel_Boy
Although it, initially, felt expensive at £60pp the combined walking and punting tour is a great way to get the inside story on Cambridge’s old colleges in the heart of the city. The walking tour lasted 1.5 hours and, Lindsay our guide was excellent - engaging and informative about the history of the colleges adding quirky stories. The punting section of the tour was provided by Scudamore’s, one of a number of operators, and lasted approximately 45 minutes. Again a great way to see a different view of the colleges from The Backs.

We did a great tour with the really nice and well informed tour guide Meghan. It was entertaining and interesting and it is great that she herself is a student at university. The 90 minutes seemed like 5. If you come to Cambridge should definitely book an alumni tour.

Chris was very informative and amusing. Held our attention throughout. It must interesting from an alumni from Cambridge.

The guide was great and we learned a lot of history of the area. Punting is harder than it looks. Glad we had a guide to do the hard work and keep us straight.

Excellent tour - walking tour by Vishal was great and very informative. The same for the punting tour which took us through the main bridges and colleges around Cambridge University.

Meghan ,the tour guide was very knowledgable and very good at her job .

Our guide was 10 mins late but was personable and engaging . We didn’t learn that much more student life than history of Cambridge . Kings college was shut which they should have known in advance and was the main reason for choosing the tour . Punting tour was really good but we could have booked that direct and we had a great guide Charlie for that.
