Gabriel was a very happy , knowledgeable guide . Very polished . I was hoping to see the buildings and layout of Cambridge. I got lots of info but would have liked more about the colleges and their history and graduates and quirks . I’m sure Gabriel will do very well in his endeavors in the future.

My husband and I loved our weekend in Cambridge, and it was made more memorable by our guided tour. Don't think twice and invest your money in the tour as it will make your experience more meaningful, and you can discover more about life in the city, the unknown stories and its history. We are very grateful to Roberta, who was able to re-book us on another tour on the same day, our car broke down on the motorway, and we were significantly late for our tour. We had our tour with Cristina; we liked her energy and her passion when talking about the stories of the Colleges and ghosts! We also did the punting tour, and you can look at the magnificence of the back of the Colleges and buildings. It is such a unique experience, and I would recommend adding it to your tour.

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!
