What You Will Do
We know that there is so much for you to see and do in our beautiful city, which makes our walking tour the perfect activity to take in over 900 years of history and architecture in a short period of time.
All our guides are highly experienced, and specialise in giving informative and entertaining introductions to the fascinating history of Cambridge. Having previously travelled and joined walking tours as visitors ourselves, we understand the importance of limiting group sizes so that everyone can hear and be involved, we therefore limit our tours to groups of 12 in order to provide our guests with a memorable and personalised walking tour
