We enjoyed our short 1-1/2 hour tour of Cambridge with one of the students. We saw quite a lot of the campus. There are a lot of small alleys on campus and it would have been difficult to find our way around in an efficient manner. It's a good introduction to Cambridge University life and it's history.

Alex was a very nice young man who certainly knew his stuff. He was studying for his PhD at King’s. He did get a bit star struck when he met Alasdair Campbell who was filming outside St Mary’s.

Lovely informative tour pointing out the main Colleges and walking round the Backs with a Ph.D student. However this tour does not get you into any parts of the Colleges that you could not go into on your own. If you want to go into Trinity,Kings,St.Johns you have to pay - these are not part of the tour.

The tour guides told us her personal experience and the gems that I would not notice a typical Cambridge tour. She was a past Cambridge grad and was also motivated in leading a great tour as well. I felt welcomed during this tour. If you love learning about the local cultures and a book lover, you must go on this tour.

I can't remember my guides name but he was a PhDs student and was from Scotland and had a beard. He was amazing, made it very interesting and had so much knowledge. He answered all the questions that everyone had. My husband has a hearing problem but the guide spoke to clearly it wasn't a problem. Fab tour would do it again as long as we could have him. Many thanks for a lovely day. We went at 1pm on Saturday the 31st September 2017.

Miss Jessica was our absolutely wonderful guide and a Latin teacher! What could be better:_br/_ My daughters asked many questions and she was very kind and patient to answer all Qs, she took us around many college campuses and also told local stories about lives of scientists. We would definitely request her as a guide next time we are in Cambridge:!!

This tour was kept to a small group, allowing flexibility and a very friendly atmosphere. Guides volunteer from the university students. Kieran, a PhD student, proved an excellent host, both knowledgeable and interesting, able to answer most of the party's numerous queries, and provide an entertaining history of the colleges we passed._br/_ The tour started in King's parade, passing the colleges and college buildings to the north, then taking us over the river onto the backs, circling around to Queen's and the mathematical bridge. It also included a foray into Pembroke's. _br/_ I would highly recommend this experience, a wonderful overview of the area.

Our tour guide Eve was excellent and knowlegeable but the tour is not worth 18.5 pounds it is more expensive than most of other walking tours on websites. The tour promoted they will have a 'small-group' tour but we were more than 20 at one point, I counted the number and it was 22. There used to be '12 people limit' written when I booked and it was the only reason I chose it but when I check again today I found it was changed to 20! - but the price is still the same. I would recomend other tours in a reasonable price range.

We really enjoyed our tour of some of the colleges of Cambridge University and our guide Kieran was extremely knowledgeable. We would never have understood the sites that we saw or the history that surrounds them without Kieran.

Fantastic walking tour with a very knowledgeable guide who gave a great insight into student life in Cambridge as well as the historically important colleges. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Review by: David A, July 2017
Although we enjoyed the tour, we were most disappointed that it did not include a visit to King's College chapel as the chapel is the highlight of any visit to Cambridge.

An excellent rip round the important parts of Cambridge University._br/_ Catherine, our tour guide, was friendly, funny, informative and very knowledgeable.
Review by: Michael H, May 2017
An excellent tour made even more enjoyable by our guide, Katherine. She very knowledgeable about the history of Cambridge and, as a Cambridge student, she had many anecdotes to share about the Cambridge student life that made Tour even more enriching. Katherine has a delightful personality and interacted easily with members our tour.

The tour was conducted too fast and the commentary matched it. We were unable to keep up with the commentary and absorb all the information before we moved on to another place.

Started at 1:00pm, so must took an early lunch, better to be in the morning around 10:00am or so, will be much better. The tour guide is a lady called Jess who is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable, can ask any questions related to Cambridge. A good tour guide.
