After finishing the walking tour, enjoy a 45-minute private punting tour that showcases eight renowned Cambridge colleges, from Darwin to Magdalene, and highlights nine picturesque bridges such as the Mathematical Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs. Your experience includes a knowledgeable local guide. Please note, while our walking tour is wheelchair/stroller accessible, our punting tours are not.

Fantastic, friendly PhD guide!

Published on Aug, 2024

Our Cambridge alumni guide, Lindsay, was exceptionally knowledgeable and gave us a friendly and informative private tour across Cambridge. Her detailed explanation on all the facets of student life also helped my daughter receive a an excellent introduction to her Summer Camp.

An interesting 1.5 hour tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Our guide Zoe was knowledgeable and shared a wealth of interesting historical facts and figures about Cambridge and experiences as a student. We were a very small group ( 3 persons) and chose to skip the punting. Zoe adapted the tour perfectly to our choices and interests.
