Cambridge really came alive with a tour, and our guide Jo was terrific. She explained the details and logistics of University organization and education, and also included history of this beautiful town and area both old and more recent. Jo combined history, educational facts, and lots of fun anecdotes. She individualized to our interests and questions. At end of tour, she gave us numerous suggestions for further colleges to explore on our own and other sights to see. Would highly recommend this tour, and Jo in particular, as a great way to visit this iconic destination !

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Joanne! Jo texted me several times before the trip to make sure of all arrangements. I was in constant contact with her on our trip up from London so our driver knew exactly where to drop us. Jo was a fabulous guide with a wealth of knowledge and amusing stories. She was just delightful to be with. We recommend her unconditionally!!

We went with a group of Chilean students to get to know the different colleges of Cambridge, Jo Sharpington was our guide and was really amazing, she told us several stories about the places, which we did not know, well documented and very charming. She is a really friendly and enthusiastic person, as well as handling a lot of information. I recommend it 100%

We booked with Cambridge on Foot who were immediately friendly and helpful. We had Jo who was warm, bubbly and very friendly. We particularly wanted to show our friend from the States the colleges and Jo was extremely knowledgeable on both facts and good stories. A great day out and our tour with Jo certainly made our day. We would definitely book Cambridge on Foot again.
Great family tour around Cambridge
