About the Experience
Explore Cambridge with someone who actually knows it from the inside during this relaxed and entertaining guided walking tour. Your adventure begins outside King’s College where your student guide will be waiting to whisk you through centuries of stories hidden in the city’s cobbled lanes and grand college courts. Over the next ninety minutes you will meander past some of the finest Anglo Saxon, Gothic and neoclassical buildings, hear how Sir Isaac Newton developed his ideas in the very rooms you will be looking at, and stop by the pub where Crick and Watson celebrated their discovery of the double helix. You will also step inside two of the most celebrated colleges and get an honest look at what student life in Cambridge is really like. Expect tales of extravagant May Balls, late night revision sessions, historic traditions and even the odd quirky rumour, including the one about the college that proudly flies a communist flag.
