Richard the Great - Richard is very knowledgable and fun to learn from for a few hours. We feel like we know the Victoria and Albert museum now!

Don't miss this opportunity to learn English history while learning abourt Cambridge. - Dave, who usually guides Cambridge tours on Fridays, is extremely well-prepared to explain English history's meaning for colleges and churches in Cambridge. He is articulate, concise, precise and charming. His tours are well organized to make use of every moment in a full two hour excursion. The cost is very low, probably the best bargain among the many available walking tours.

a worthwhile tour - This tour is worth every penny as we were able to see the 20 minute video inside which gave a comprehensive overview, as well as make a start on absorbing the informative panels that are inside the building. The 2 hour tour was with Julia, who was clear, interesting and insightful as to our British history and making it relevant to everything we viewed both in the architecture and surroundings.

Great tour - Really informative tour with a knowledgeable guide. Takes a couple of hours and includes visiting, but not necessarily entering the major colleges

Dave aka Best Guide In Cambridge - We were lucky enough to have Dave as our guide:) He was unbelievable:) So knowledgeable and entertaining:) there was never a dull moment. As a Hotel Concierge in Munich, I have to know a lot about my city, but I have my limits and that’s why I have my number 1 guide that i use on a regular basis. Dave will be my number 1 recommendation for anyone coming to Cambridge:) Thank you Dave and I hope your face heals quickly:) Thank you Nathaniel Gregg
