5.00Tour lasts for about 90-120 minutes. Starts more or less on time and drops off at the same location. Be prepared to walk a little.

5.00There was just 2 of us on our tour with Shalvi on a freezing November morning. She was just amazing with so much knowledge of Cambridge and its history. Her story telling was excellent and impressive and the time flew by. It was lovely hearing some of her own university stories, which made the tour seem more personable and enjoyable. Thoroughly recommend.
Excellent tour
