Both the walking and the punting was great Cambridge Phd student Linsey told us a lot on the walking tour, both the hard facts and the fun facts. Charlie did the Punting with us, great efforts on that super windy day.

Abi was a fantastic, funny and relatable guide. Took the time to make sure we all saw everything we wanted and shared lots of interesting stories and tidbits which helped you to truly appreciate what life is like for the students of Cambridge and a bit about the history of the town. Would absolutely recommend if you enjoy tours.

Our walking tour guide, Stephen, Cambridge Alum was great! He was friendly and shed light on the historic fetures of the city and colleges. The punting tour had some fantastic views from the river and our tour guide gave us a special inside view to the university. He shareddetails that can only come from a real student’s perspective. Thank you Finn.

No coordination between booking site and the actual tour guides. We did not see the Kings Chapel (which was our main purpose for the booking). The tour guide told me to take it up with the booking site.
