LIVE THE HISTORY

Our guides, Cambridge alumni or students, blend personal experiences with a passion for the city's history and architecture. Our 90-minute tour covers highlights like the Corpus Clock, the Eagle Pub, the Old Cavendish Laboratory, Queens’ College and the Mathematical Bridge, King’s College from the Backs, Trinity College, Trinity Hall and St. John’s College, Gonville and Caius, the Senate House.

Take a fascinating walk through Cambridge, where history comes alive. Be inspired by the colleges of Alan Turing, Lord Byron, Isaac Newton, and Stephen Hawking while admiring stunning Gothic and Baroque architecture. Marvel at a thousand-year-old Anglo-Saxon church tower and a contemporary (and controversial) clock that doesn’t even tell the time properly. Cambridge is a city full of inspiring, baffling, and downright outrageous stories waiting to be told.

This shared walking tour is conducted in English and takes place outdoors. Indoor access to structures is not included unless specifically booked as an additional option. For possible entry to specific colleges, we recommend arranging this in advance.

THE STUDENT’S STORY

Cambridge wouldn’t be the same without its students, and it’s their presence that makes our walking tours so special. Combining a deep passion for the city’s history and architecture with insider knowledge, all our tour guides are either graduates or current students of the University of Cambridge. You’ll hear about what students really get up to— from “college parents” to lavish May Balls and those dreaded all-nighters in between. Discover which college is considered the poshest, which is the richest, which has the most funds, and which serves the worst food. Hearing it all from those who experience it firsthand, you’ll gain a true sense of Cambridge as seen from within the college walls.
