Mark at Footprints - Entertaining, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, huge fun. A definite MUST Do!

5.00My friend and I did the Footprints Tour with Mark on Sat 21 Feb. He generously gave us well over 2 hours of his fabulously entertaining repartee and splendid company. He delivered his considerably knowledgeable & informative 'lecture' with aplomb, huge exuberance and good humour and it was both uplifting and extremely interesting. Obviously one of those people who love their subject, love what they do and inspire those who are privileged to listen to them. It was learning with fun which is always the best way and I am genuinely pleased how much I can recall. He bought to life what I imagine could be a pretty dry and stuffy information in such a fun and hilarious way - this guy should be on the stage. He really made us laugh. If you are looking for a walk around Cambridge to learn a bit about the place, whilst being really entertained by some great stories and the added benefit of seeing parts and sights not visited by other guides then this is the walk for you. Enjoy - I know we did.
Amazing Tour Guide!

5.00I took the Footprints Cambridge tour today with Mark as my tour guide, and I had an amazing time! Not only was Mark incredibly informative, but he was also deeply engaging and made each person feel special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the city’s highlights with a fun and knowledgeable guide.

5.00Serena, the Ph.D. Art history student, was an excellent tour guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable about Cambridge in general but knew a plethora of specifics, enough to make the tour incredibly entertaining! We liked her a lot and she tried to personalize our tour as much as she could.
Highly recommended walking tour

5.00We did this walking on a bitterly cold, but sunny day in November with Sonya. Sonya was an excellent guide , really knowledgeable and interesting . We have been to Cambridge many times , but never done a tour , and we learnt so much more . We were lucky there were only 4 on the tour , ( although not so lucky for Sonya ) so we were really grateful that the tour was cancelled ( as less than 8). Highly recommended
A Wonderful Day Trip to Cambridge and Ely Cathedral

5.00We highly recommend the day trip from London to Cambridge and Ely Cathedral with Footprints Tours. Having this as a small group tour, made it more personal than a big bus tour. Our driver, Fred, was courteous and friendly. We were transported to Cambridge in a new and luxurious van. Our Cambridge guide, Mark, was very informative and humorous. Cambridge and Ely Cathedral has so much history and incredible architecture and should not be missed.
Delightful walking tour!

5.00We had a wonderful private walking tour of Cambridge with Sibylle. As an alumni of the college, she shared the school's history along with interesting and fun anecdotes of her time there. She was very knowledgable, and also warm and charming. We highly recommend this tour!
Short, fun and informative.
