Welcome to Cambridge: Private Tour including King's College Chapel

Cambridge University was founded by Oxford scholars who escaped the town/gown riots in the 13th century, and the two universities have enjoyed a friendly (sometimes not so friendly!) rivalry for many centuries. The most famous example of this is the annual Boat Race along the River Thames. As England’s two most ancient universities, they are often called ‘Oxbridge’. Today the ‘modern’ city of Cambridge has a rich array of bookshops, cafes, pubs, live music venues, galleries, museums and scenic riverside parks. The banks of the River Cam are fabulous places for the summer months. On this private walking tour through this world-famous city, your guide will help you uncover the many layers and stories of both Cambridge and its alumni including luminaries such as Stephen Hawking, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, and several prime ministers. Enjoy the quaint, antiquated yet vibrant atmosphere – and enjoy stopping off for a pint at a local, historic tavern afterwards.

Good start to a Cambridge visit.

Really nice tour with Alice who was very engaging. Really interesting to hear about some of college life from the inside. And stunning views of the colleges from across the fields. Slightly disappointed with the kings college chapel part. I knew this would be self guided- but I didn’t feel there was much explanation to be found.

A Fun Way to Discover Cambridge

I had a wonderful time on this guided tour, and Mia was an excellent guide. She was engaging, friendly and clearly passionate about Cambridge, and the tour gave me a much deeper appreciation of the place than I would have had simply walking around on my own. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Cambridge, especially if you want to understand not just what you’re looking at, but why it matters.
