'Excellent, Worthwhile Experience'

This tour is an excellent way to get to know a side of Cambridge that doesn't present itself in all the glitzy brochures and the tourist traps... I'd definitely recommend this tour to all kinds of groups and travellers.

'Great way to explore Cambridge in an unconventional way!'

The tour was wonderful. We actually signed up without reading detailed descriptions so we didn't know what to expect on the day. The tour lasted for 1.5 hours and was very informative... Definitely recommend it to all who want to explore this city in an unconventional way!

'Totally worth it!'

Excellent introduction to a broader context for Cambridge. Nina did a fabulous job; it was
articulate, thorough, engaging.

 

Definitely worth the time and minimal cost.
