    So impressed with Cambridge, made all the better by taking this tour accompanied by the excellent Tony Rodgers. So much interesting information delivered in his easy style. Very happy to recommend both the tour and, particularly, Tony Rodgers.

    My husband and granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed! Our granddaughter had just spent two weeks with the Oxbridge Academy for high school students housed at Petershouse U. of Cambridge. So although she thought she knew Cambridge well; even she was surprised at many points along the tour!

    Tony gave our group from The Commercial Property Network a fascinating, informative and fun two hour tour of Cambridge. It was a baking hot day and everyone had a hangover, but we hardly noticed for those two hours. Excellent tour, great guide. Highly recommended.

    Tony Rodgers was On Time, Entertaining, Energetic, Enthralling, Enigmatic and Generally Enjoyable to spend a couple of days with. He knows his stuff, is not in a rush and introduced us to Mary Foster-Lewis who guided us around the Fitzwilliam Museum. Between the two of them they made our trip informative and fun and, should we return we would not hesitate to re-book with these clever people. Thanks Tony and Mary. Robert, Nicolette and Lucy.

    3

    King's College Chapel

    This is the centrepiece of the tour. The most famous building in Cambridge and an architectural jewel. Not to be missed.

    4

    Senate House

    The 18th century Senate House was until recently the main meeting place for the University. Today it is where the students receive their degrees. It forms part of an historic core, along with Great St Mary's Church and Gonville and Caius College.

    5

    University of Cambridge

    Please note that, with the exception of King's College Chapel, the colleges close to the public during the examination period which runs from late April to mid-June every year. The dates of closures vary from college to college. In 2019 St. John's College will be closed to groups from 14 May to 28 June and closed to the public from 16-28 June. Queens' College will be closed from 22 April to 14 June.

    6

    Old dsCavendish Laboratory

    See the buiding where 29 Nobel Prize winners worked and hear the story of the Cavendish from 1874-1974.

    7

    Eagle

    One of the oldest pubs in Cambridge. Famous for its RAF Bar, where airmen wrote their squadron numbers on the ceiling during the Second World War.

    8

    Great St Mary's Church (Church of England)

    Great St Mary's is a parish church and the University church. When students first arrived in Cambridge in the 13th century they used Great St Mary's for their meetings and teaching.

    9

    Trinity College

    See the famous great gate of Cambridge's largest and wealthiest college. Hear about the 32 Nobel prize winners that have studied at Trinity, plus famous names such as Sir Isaac Newton and Lord Byron.

    10

    St. John's College

    St John's was founded in 1505. The famous 16th century gatehouse is arguably the most striking in Cambridge and carries the coat of arms and regalia of the founder, Lady Margaret Beaufort.

    11

    The Round Church Visitor Centre

    The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is generally known as "the Round church', because of its shape. It was built around 1130, and is one of the few remaining Norman structures in Cambridge.
