    Amazing and immersive experience to get to know the life as a student at the University. We had the luxury to have Hassan Esufally as out guide. What a great experience and what a great inspiration for our kids …and ourselves. Highly recommended.

    This was a really enjoyable tour. Chris was an outstanding guide- clear, articulate and conveyed information in an amusing way and was very happy and patient with questions. Highly recommended

    Brilliant tour. Interesting and entertaining. Charlotte gave both historical and anecdotal history of Cambridge and life as an alumni of Cambridge

  • 16-Nov-2022

    Charlotte led us on a fascinating tour of colleges and of the University. She is a knowledgeable and amusing explainer of the history and culture of Cambridge. This is a good tour for those who wish to get a good understanding of how England works- and would be particularly useful for prospective applications and their families, I feel.

    Charlotte has been today a great tour guide and she definitely made our visit to Cambridge more interesting

    Under the enthousiastic and dedicated guidance of Zera we visited several college courtyards, and entered a college chapel. We got a nice historical perspective on the development of Cambridge, we were told about college live now, some words about application and selection procedures by the colleges, enriched with some stories about former times. We learned some curious legends of the city. Moreover, a few bars, a laboratory, and other historical buildings were notified. We also enjoyed walking through the beautiful greens and crossing the river Cam. Altogether: a very nice tour with a very nice guide.

    Francisco was great. Loved his Italian accent explaining Cambridge! Very knowledgeable. Had great historical knowledge

  • 26-Oct-2022

    Excellent! Highly recommended. Our guide Tommy gave us a thorough overview of the history of Cambridge and of each college, including curiosities and exclusive details known only to insiders. I found it particularly interesting listening about traditions and unwritten rules of the colleges directly from an alumnus, or the history of rivalry between colleges and finally the long list of the most illustrious alumni, some of which I heard from the first time. Thank you, Tommy.

    We had a very interesting and fun tour led by Francesco. It was great to visit in freshers week and see all the young undergraduates in their gowns. The added visit to Kings College Chapel was a real highlight. It has set us up to continue exploring this brilliant city in the next couple of days.

    Good way to get an overview of the city and its sights and at the same time get the full inside track on the history and back stories to some of the things on the tour. We were led by Sophie, who was excellent and knew her stuff as well as being friendly and engaging with everyone on the tour. Good planned route with not too much walking in between stops for giving information out, so that was easy to negotiate. Covered all the places we'd expected to see plus some other hidden gems (such as pub with a haunted window and RAF graffiti on the ceilings). Start and finish outside the front of King's, which is nice and easy to find. We had the optional add on King's College tour, which Sophie kindly waited for us for while we nipped off to the loo in a nearby store!! Slightly sad we weren't able to go inside some of the other colleges, as it was the time when the colleges were showing prospective students around and access to the general public was off limits but I suspect that is usually on their tour. Good way to get an overview of the city and made all the more enjoyable by Sophie our guide.
