James, our guide, was friendly, engaging, and interesting. He took us down spooky streets and told great stories. We saw parts of Cambridge we wouldn’t have otherwise. A lovely time. Thank you, James!

Really enjoyable, informative and engaging experience! Our guide was Aussie Harry Potter lookalike too which made it all the more special! It was really nice seeing all of the of locations and architecture of Cambridge at night.

Our tour guide clearly knew his stuff. Also, he very much “leaned into” the stories where needed, pitching up the fun aspects, while still providing real historical background. His approach made the experience genuinely funny (but not cheesy), and also very interesting. He managed this while still providing interesting factual background that was not too dumbed down…a very hard balancing act. He struck exactly the right tone for our smallish group.
