What are people saying about Cambridge

Aurelija_G, Aug 2026

Great tour

I travelled with my 3 teenage children from London and we all thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour with our local guide Dick. It’s not easy to keep kids entertained for 2 hours but he managed to keep them interested and answered all of our questions. Grateful for all the recommendations to have a nice meal. If you have a sweet tooth like us definitely ask your guide to show the best gelato place in Cambridge- we went there 3 days in a row and all the flavours were delicious and worth queueing up for.

Cambridge - Shared Punting Tour

Punting with Rutherfords

Noah was out punt guide he was hospitable, funny, informative without a lecture and he also was a brilliant punter the amount of near misses he negotiated trying to avoid unexperienced punters on the very busy river was commendable. The punt itself was very comfortable and not overpacked we had plenty of room. I would highly recommend both this company and the experience.

No reason not to...

No reason not to recommend this tour. This was my second visit to Cambridge, and this time it was much more fascinating and inspiring thanks to this tour. I not only learned about the history and practical aspects behind the pretty buildings and the city, but also gained a bigger picture of the countless stories behind them. I feel very lucky that my partner happened to find and choose this tour!

Fabulous Punt on the River

We loved this guided punting tour! It was informative, interesting, relaxing and very enjoyable. Our chauffeur punted us safely through an extremely busy river. It was graduation day and the river was at its very busiest. We took fabulous photos and will have great memories.

Fantastic walking tour with alumni. Highly recommended due to tidbits of info she provided as a student

I would now always recommend doing a tour of a university from alumni. Our tour guide Lucy was so informative. Because she’s a current student, I loved hearing her actual experiences with Cambridge such as her impending graduation ceremony. She was so proud of her university which showed her enthusiasm as a tour guide. We were travelling with two very young kids and she was soo very accommodating and patient, waiting for us and also ensuring we were in the shade. There was another set of kids in our tour and she answered all their questions age-appropriately. We were also late coming to our tour and her colleague worked so hard to find her to catch us up. Highly recommend!

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

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!

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.

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!
