5.00Taj is a wealth of knowledge, and a joy to follow around Cambridge. We appreciated all the stories and interesting commentary he provided. Exactly what we were after to kick off our day trip to Cambridge! He generously gave more of his time than we expected.
Taj is the best guide

5.00Taj was amazing from beginning to end with so much passion for history and knowledge of Cambridge before it became a university town and even after. So many anecdotal facts and so much patience with questions and advice as to what to do! Definitely a must seeing the city with him I hope I can come back in the summer for Shakespeare and maybe even get him as a private guide! 10/10 overall on everything! Thanks Taj.
