5.00Private tour with Tangential was the highlight of our weekend break in Cambridge. In fact we only decided to travel there after confirming a booking with Tatiana. In a few hours we got much better understanding of the University and its history than from two days wandering by ourselves and reading online guides beforehand. As a London based family with kids 16, 13, 10, and hopefully future university applicants, we had very specific interests and questions and Tatiana could address them all - things like history of science in Cambridge, colleges, mathematical notations of Newton vs Leibnitz, relating to wider European religious and cultural context.

5.00We wanted to visit Cambridge the first time we visited the UK, but somehow it never worked out. Then the opportunity arose, and we immediately took advantage of it. But the biggest bonus for us was our guide to this wonderful city, Tatyana. Having lived there for a long time, she accurately conveyed the history of this amazing place, and very competently and clearly immersed us in the nuances associated with Trinity College. We even went inside, seeing and hearing all the most interesting things! We also visited other interesting places. The three hours flew by. Huge thanks to Tatyana for the wonderful tour! And thank you for visiting Cambridge at this particular time, because the most valuable thing is the emotions you gave us, and they will stay with us forever!
Fabulous Informative Tour

5.00My daughter and I came to Cambridge for the first time. Walking around on our own did not allow us to form an impression of the city. The next day we had a city tour with a guide Tatyana. The city opened up to us and we had a lot of fun walking with Tatyana. She is a very interesting person, pleasant to talk to and a very knowledgeable guide. At the same time, all the information was given compactly, not overloaded and very comfortable for perception. I hope to meet her on our next visit and highly recommend her to all tourists.

5.00We had an amazing tour of Cambridge, with a focus on the university, with Tatiana Yurasova as our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable, creative, and engaging throughout the entire experience. Tatiana's deep understanding of the history and culture of Cambridge was clear, but what really made the tour special was how she brought everything to life with interesting stories and unique insights. She had a way of making history feel relevant and fun. We left the tour feeling like we had truly experienced the essence of Cambridge. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an informative and enjoyable tour!
Best day in Cambridge with Tatiana.

5.00We had a great time with Tatiana and I believe she knows everything about Cambridge. But this is not about how many facts you know. This is about the way you share them. It wasn't a history class or something you can find on Youtube, it was full of facts and the stories you wouldn't find in an average guidebook and that might be interesting for you specifically. We traveled around UK for 10 days, had several interesting tours and I can say the one with Tatiana was the best one. Thank you, Tatiana!
A day full of pleasant experiences
