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.

It was good. Olivia is a friendly, Enthusiatic guide. Customer service were super helpfull and they can solved the situation i had. Get your guide needs to have a little touch up on their system (double booking by system, which can’t be cancelled by clicking the button only, so i have to contact customer service). More detailing & clear explanation will be appreciated. As like the punting company they use. There are 8 punting companies in the area. Overall it was good experience to have if you never been to cambridge at all.
