Product Info

Day Tour (for Ghost Tour, see below)

We'll walk through the historic City Centre and the Backs, seeing gorgeous landmarks in quaint old streets, picturesque alleys and dreamy, park-like settings.

You'll hear

- how Cambridge University began as a bunch of religious schools more than 800 years ago, because of a bloody riot in Oxford

- how it has taught and hosted countless famous people who changed the world

- how a religious scholar scribbling atop a tower here ended up shaking the whole of Europe by accident

- The dismal reason why our two greatest colleges are bitter rivals

YOU'LL SEE:

- the FRONT QUAD of a historic college (if open on the day)

- the RAF bar and the most famous bridge in China (really!)

- a small 19th century lab that once was the greatest centre of science in the world

- stunning LANDMARKS

- charming BRIDGES with romantic and entertaining histories

I'll make sure you ENJOY your tour. It's the most important part of the experience. You'll remember this tour, because the stories are so much fun.

Have any special requests? Feel free to contact me. I can arrange anything from a visit to one or more of the colleges, to a wonderful dinner experience at High Table in one of the most prestigious colleges - depending on time, budget and availability.
