A 1.5 hour tour will cover the historic heart of the city including the golden Corpus Clock; the formal and ceremonial centre of the University: The Senate House and Old Schools; stunning colleges such as King’s, Corpus Christi and Trinity, and the Old Cavendish Laboratory, home of world-changing scientific discoveries. There is also time to include a visit into one of the Cambridge Colleges.

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.

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.
