We 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

We 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!

We 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.

We would highly recommend this tour if you're visiting Cambridge. Sonya was an amazing guide and an informative and humerous communicator. She passed on detailed information about the history of Cambridge, the University, all of the colleges, and many of the personalities involved. If we'd tried to wander around Cambrige aimlessly on our own, we'd have missed out on so much. Thank you, Sonya.
Highly recommend! Mark was a great tour guide, lots of interesting info!

From my mother - Margaret. I loved the tour, enjoyed all the stories, the architecture and all that Mark showed us. Mom writes: "it was a torrent of lovely information" with a "theme of history repeats". Our tour guide was an Art Historian with a PhD. Highly recommend the tour and Mark.
Learned a lot and enjoyed every minute

Paul was an excellent and entertaining tour guide. He has that English self-deprecation that is so charming. And he filled the tour with real “meat.” no fluff here—this man knows his subject. I feel like we came away with a new appreciation for the intellectual and physical beauty that characterizes Cambridge University.
A whirlwind 2 hour journey into the past

We did the free tour with Mark. It was a brilliant 2 hour dive into history, laced with humor and lots of really interesting anecdotes. Mark is a natural entertainer who has a great knowledge of the town and university. Totally recommend this tour.
