    We had a wonderful walking tour of Cambridge yesterday. Our guide was a young MPhil student - Tommy, who was engaging, knowledgeable and oh so pleasant. The five star rating is almost entirely attributable to Tommy. We have been on other tours, but to go with someone who lives and studies in one of the colleges brings a completely new perspective to the life of a student and the history of the various Colleges that make up this venerable University.

    We were given a good summary of the history of the various colleges, and I think we really got a good feel of how life at Cambridge was for a student. The guide was knowledgeable about many aspects, and communicated really well with the whole group.

    Tommy our tour guide was excellent. Tour at a good pace, information was engaging and delivered clearly. To m y took the time and trouble to make sure everyone in the group had a chance to ask questions.

    Our tour guide Stephen was informative and interesting. He told us he is a music student. He answered everyone’s questions and led the tour at a pace to suit us. He made the tour an excellent experience. We would never have guessed that he is relatively new to the role. Thank you.

    The Tour with Lindsey was really interesting. She told us a lot about the different colleges and about life in university. She knows lots of stories about former professors and students.

    Steven a music student at Cambridge conducted the tour. It was his second week on the job and he was very friendly and approachable. He spent time speaking with all of us on the tour one by one. He went into detail on the history behind each building on the tour, I learnt a lot by the end of the day! Overall had a great experience

    The walk tour was on the external perimeter of Cambridge campus and couple of landmarks. Never had an opportunity for entry inside the campus.
