5.00The guided Cambridge tour with Rupert was outstanding. His historical and academic explanations were delivered with great wit and charm. As an active student himself, Rupert was the perfect insider to answer all our questions. His extraordinary stories and amusing legends left a lasting impression on us. It was one of the best tours I have ever experienced anywhere in the world. A highly recommended tour, and many thanks again to the wonderful Rupert.

5.00Loved this tour with our friendly & knowledgeable guide Lucy. My Japanese friend found it fascinating and I learned a lot too (despite having visited Cambridge before)! And the final visit to King's College Chapel was definitely worth it. Thank you Lucy! I would highly recommend this guided tour.

5.00Today I was lucky enough to enjoy a small group tour of just three, lead by our very knowledgeable guide Lucy. Lucy was engaging and took her time at stops to give insider knowledge and answer our questions. Lucy was kind enough to even go on a slight detour to show me the college my uncle attended. Thanks for a great tour!
