We had a fantastic tour given by a graduate student named Maria. She was wonderful and did not mind all of our questions. It was a great way to see Cambridge and learn about its history and the University itself. I highly recommend this tour. Its a great way to support the students, too!

This was exactly the right way to see Cambridge! Jess, my tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the history of the school. She was able to provide interesting facts about each area that we toured that were more than just the famous alum. Jess was also able to give great advice for lunch/drink spots after the tour. Overall, a wonderful and beautiful campus and amazing tour guide!
