Delightful walking tour!
We had a wonderful private walking tour of Cambridge with Sibylle. As an alumni of the college, she shared the school's history along with interesting and fun anecdotes of her time there. She was very knowledgable, and also warm and charming. We highly recommend this tour!

Loved the flexibility of doing pieces when I was able (and between the rain drops!) Easy to follow and entertaining. Also easy to pause the tour to stop at shops or explore areas in more depth and then resume.

Oxford and Cambridge
Both were beautiful towns and beautiful countryside. Oxford’s buildings were truly incredible. Not a Harry Potter fan but may now see the movies!

Excellent, 5 out of 5 stars
We had an incredible experience on our walking tour. The guide was friendly, funny, and had tons of information and fun facts to share. The time went by very quickly! I wish I could remember his name to mention it in the review, all I know is that he used to go to Oxford and now attends Cambridge! Anyway if you can request a guide who used to attend Oxford, do so!

When to visit

Some of the best views of the university colleges can be found along the waterfront of the Cam River—an area known as The Backs, as the colleges back onto the riverfront.
The historic center of Cambridge is easy to get around on foot; most of the colleges are within walking distance of each other so ensure you’re wearing sturdy footwear.
Many of the colleges charge an admission fee or require you to visit as part of a tour.
Most college buildings are fully wheelchair- and stroller-accessible.
People Also Ask
What is included in the Cambridge University tour ticket?
Cambridge University tours include a guide to give you the lowdown on the university, along with visits to key campus sites. King’s College and King’s College Chapel are usually seen, along with Trinity College and Wren Library. As many colleges are by the River Cam, riverfront views are covered, too.
Are there student discounts available for Cambridge University tours?
Yes, it depends on who you book your Cambridge University tour with, but student discounts are often available. For example, King's College tours or the Cambridge University alumni-led tours both often offer student discounts for school-age students (ages five to 17 years old). Discounts for university students are rarely offered.
Are photography and filming allowed during the Cambridge University tour?
Yes, photography and filming are allowed during Cambridge University tours with a few caveats. Visitors are allowed to take photos in areas of the colleges where tourists are permitted to go, if they’re intended for personal, non-commercial use. Tripods are a no-go, and flash photography isn’t allowed in the chapels.
How long does a typical Cambridge University tour last?
Most Cambridge University tours last around 1.5 hours, although many tours now include extra options, such as walks around the historic city streets or punts down the River Cam. If you have a busy schedule, aim to leave around half a day free to cover calmer logistics and a college tour.
Are there specific times or seasons when it's best to visit Cambridge University for a tour?
Sometimes colleges are closed in May or June when there are exams or end-of-year balls taking place. Aside from this, a good time to go is between July and September when the students are away, and the weather is generally warm and sunny. Aim for a quieter weekday if you can.
Is there parking available for visitors taking the Cambridge University tour?
There aren’t parking lots provided for touring visitors, but there are places to park near the Cambridge University campuses. The closest car park to King’s College is at the Grand Arcade on Corn Exchange Street, while a cheaper option (within a 15-minute walk) is the car park at Queen Anne’s Terrace.
