Cambridge Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We did the walking tour followed immediately by punting. The walking tour was a nice overview of the university and 90 minutes was sufficient, although I suspect the minimum to cover so much. The tour guide is an alum and now retired teacher, informed, and engaging. There were 8 in our group so a nice size. Most colleges are closed to non-affiliated so it's along the outside of several of them, but his stories about each are illuminating. Punting was fun and the views along the backs are unbeatable, although some of the historical facts are the same as on the walking tour. Our punter was humorous and engaging. Overall it's a little pricey, but when else are you going to do this. Just pay it and enjoy - as we did. Worth doing.

A very relaxing and pleasurable experiance . The staff were very polite and helpful and Harry our punter was very knowledgeable.We were celebrating both my husbands birthday and our wedding Anniversay ..so small verses of flowers on the boat were a nice touch . You can take your own snacks and drink on the boat so we had a drink of fizz whilst taking in the scenery . There were umbrellas and blankets on the punt just in case the weather changed but luckily we had a nice day . Would highly recommend this company as very professional .

We did an excellent tour with Rob, who was extremely knowledgeable and displayed both good pace of information and great wit. Highly recommendable. The Kings college chapel and punting we did separately at different times.

The tour was led by Matthew, a Cambridge Alumnus and former President( I think he said) of the Student Union. Matthew was articulate, friendly and his tour was full of fascinating, amusing and interesting information. In between the formal stops on the tour he was happy to chat with any of the group whilst walking and was a font of knowledge. The tour was well structured and lasted for just over 90 minutes. We were lucky to have a beautiful day and I was very pleased that I decided to book this tour. I would recommend it for anyone wishing to gain an insight into the University and College system at Cambridge and to find out the history of Cambridge and how its relationship with the academic establishment shaped the city.

A great tour with Matthew, very knowledgeable and kept a good pace. We had quite a large group on this tour but he was able to engage with everyone. The Kings Chapel is a must see.

Excellent visit with Mark the guide who was very knowledgeable and made the trip lots of fun, thank you.

A wonderful and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Great price, well paced, efficient, good pre tour communications, educational, easy to find the pickup point, ideal group size and very relaxing. Also I was very impressed Luca, our guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and charismatic. I would recommend this tour to both Tourists and locals alike.

All good and well explained self guided app

Very well explained. Easy to folow self guided.

We had a fantastic walking tour of Cambridge with Mark. His enthusiasm for Cambridge was infectious, and his knowledge of the university, its history and the people connected to it was genuinely impressive.What really stood out was how he brought everything to life. Rather than simply giving us historical facts, Mark told stories, added plenty of humour and made the history feel incredibly engaging. He also had a great way of keeping the whole group involved and making the tour feel relaxed and personal.My partner and I both agreed that Mark was the highlight of our day in Cambridge. We came away having learned a huge amount while also having a genuinely fun couple of hours.If you're visiting Cambridge, I’d highly recommend doing this tour and if you get Mark as your guide, you’re in for a treat!Thank you, Mark, for making our day in Cambridge so memorable!

Very good, interesting, Peter was a very nice dude

Great guide, lots of info, great value for ££, will be back.

Great walk around Cambridge solving clues and going to places we’ve ever seen before.

Really fun experience and got to see bits of Cambridge that you would have missed. Great that you can do it at your own pace in no set order. Only minor downside is that the interactive map seems a little bit temperamental at times and needs to be open and closed to re verify your location.

Fantastic day out with the grandchildren

Chris is a wonderful guide who knows histories of the university, city as well as the country
