What are people saying about Cambridge

Cambridge University Walking Tour

John_V, Jul 2026

Solid tour with a Christianity lean

Leans quite heavy on a Christian viewpoint - a little beyond what's necessary to describe the history of the university. That said John was a terrific guide and very knowledgeable, with excellent stories. About the right length and covered the main colleges.

Cambridge Tour by Alumni™ & Punting + Optional King's College

Paula_A, Jul 2026

Cambridge Tour will not disappoint

Cambridge is a beautiful, quaint town with beautiful colleges. The Kings Chapel was spectacular and I am not easily impressed seeing so many in my lifetime. We did the alumni tour with the punting. The tour guides were engaging ( Robert and John - we had two because my train from London was late so they graciously made accommodations for us- #grateful ) and knowledgable. Definitely worth the tour. We also went on the punting tour which was enjoyable similar information as walking tour but nice to hear personal stories and opinions from the alumni. Highly recommend. It was a crowded day and hot but still worthwhile. The town has a lot of nIce shops and pubs in your free time. We walked 25 min from train station ( instead of taking bus) to Kings Chapel. Delightful day. Viator always provides wonderful tours. Highly recommend and thank you to Alex ( for receiving my message on viator app that I was going to be late for pre booked tour and making last minute accommodations) and to Robert and John for walking in the heat and sharing fun historical facts Very fun day

Shared Guided Punting Tour of Cambridge

Laura_M, Jun 2026

Beautiful way to spend time on the river!

Beautiful way to spend time on the river! Received a warm welcome on arrival, had booked so didn't have to wait long for our boat. Was offered a hand to get in and out of the boat, and sat jn the front seat where we had amazing views of the river ahead, as our tour guide and captain shared some really interesting history and information as we cruised along in the sunshine. Not far from lovely bars and restaurants, or from the market square and other places of interest. This was our second visit and we would visit again tomorrow if we could!

What an amazing tour guide Nym is!

Our guide (her name is Nym), was amazing!! She was an undergrad and is a current grad student at Cambridge and was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the various college building we toured around. She gave an all encompassing history of Cambridge all the way from 1209 onwards all the way to the most recent developments at the University. We learned so much from her and her enthusiasm, energy and passion showed through, resulting in a very memorable experience. Thank you Nym!

Creepy Cambridge - Cambridge's Most Entertaining Ghost Walk

Alison_F, Jan 2026

Fun and interesting walk

Our guide James was great, very interesting walk, fun and relaxed talk, not like you're in a history lesson, more like you're walki6round the city with a mate who knows a lot of interfaces about it. We also did a histtour the next day, with Peter. That was also very good. While the places you visit do cross over its stoll worth doing as the things you find out are largely different.
