Mobile ticket

Walk through Cambridge with someone who truly knows it from the inside. Every tour is led by a current student or graduate who has lived and studied among the colleges, bringing the city’s traditions, rivalries, and hidden stories vividly to life.

In just 90 minutes, uncover the heart of the University — from the Eagle Pub, where DNA was first announced, to the Mathematical Bridge, King’s College, and the Senate House where degrees are conferred. Hear how Newton, Darwin, Hawking, and other visionaries shaped the world from these very streets.

Our tour takes place entirely outdoors, weaving through cobbled lanes and peaceful college courts for an immersive look at Cambridge’s majestic Gothic and Renaissance architecture.

Enhance your visit with an optional self-guided entry to King’s College Chapel — the city’s crown jewel — to complete your authentic Cambridge experience.

    Bring good walking shoes. The walk itself gave a good overview of the city and University with its different colleges. Our guide gave us interesting insight into the history of various colleges, good scenic tour. Lots of eating choices as well. Don’t pass up the opportunity to go punting on the towns river, lots of fun and very relaxing. Our guide was Irish and she, Navih (sp) had lots of information as a graduate of the University.

    Our tour guide, Lise, is a 3rd year history student at King’s college and was very knowledgeable. The 90 minute walking tour was both fun and fascinating. I highly recommend it!
