We booked walking tour and punting. Both guides were brilliant and informative. It was a very lovely way of spending our day in Cambridge. I was hoping to be able to see a litte bit more of the any of the colleges from the inside, but lm assuming it is all only for students. Punting was really relaxing, although they really fill up the boat to the maximum, 3 people sharing middle seat could be changed. Our guide show lots of punting skills, really impressive. Overall we had a great day, we learned a bit and it was very interesting to listen to both guides. Weather was lovely too! l think it was worth to do both tours and l would gladly recommend it. thank you!

Claire was very informative on the Guided Walking Tour of Cambridge and made the tour personalised to the participants and included everyone. She seemed very passionate about the history of Cambridge and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour with her, cannot recommend Clare enough. She was so good, wished we had more time to speak with her after the tour. After we went punting, this was very relaxing and the view of the colleges and in particular the view of Darwin college was stunning.
