2 Hour Private Tour of Cambridge

The Classic Cambridge tour. A 2-hour guided walking tour led by one of our highly-trained and experienced Blue or Green Badge Guides. This tour covers the rich history of Cambridge city and University at a comfortable pace and allows time for entry into one or more of the famous central colleges.

It will cover the historic heart of the city including the golden Corpus Clock; The Senate House and Old Schools – the formal and ceremonial centre of the University; stunning colleges such as King’s, Corpus Christi and Trinity, and the Old Cavendish Laboratory, home of world-changing scientific discoveries. Participants will learn about student life and pranks, see well-known landmarks and hear fascinating insights from more than 800 years of University history. The tour is led by our highly trained and entertaining Guides who love to share their inside knowledge of Cambridge and are ready to help you make the most of your time in our lovely city.

When it comes to choosing the college, for true ‘wow-factor’ we suggest King’s College* and the magnificent Chapel, one of the finest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in existence. However, medieval colleges such as the beautiful riverside Queens’ College or lesser-known Pembroke*; or imposing Tudor foundations such as St John’s* or Trinity* also enable our guides to explain features which are common to all 31 colleges and shape student life whilst highlighting details, events and people which are unique to each one. For visitors wishing to see more than one college we’d recommend no more than 2 in a 2-hour tour as there’s so much else to see in the historic centre. For very small groups it may be possible to visit 3 colleges in 2 hours but for larger groups it’s also possible to extend the length of the tour to allow more time for college visits.

* Cambridge Colleges are currently closed, the tours will include external visits only.
