About the Experience
Explore Cambridge with someone who actually lives and studies it, as you wander through a thousand years of history in one of Britain’s most beautiful cities. Your tour begins outside King’s College, where your guide will greet you before leading you through the cobbled streets and grand college courtyards that make Cambridge so special. Over ninety minutes you will stop at a range of historic spots, from impressive Anglo Saxon, Gothic and neoclassical buildings to the very rooms where Sir Isaac Newton shaped his ideas on gravity. You will even hear the story of the pub where Crick and Watson shared news of their breakthrough on the structure of DNA. You will step inside two of the university’s most respected colleges and get a true sense of what life is like for the students who have walked these paths for centuries. Your guide will share tales of extravagant May Balls, frantic all nighters, curious traditions and the quiet rivalries that have grown between the colleges. This Historic Cambridge Colleges Walking Tour is a brilliant way to see the city through the eyes of someone who knows it best. It is ideal for anyone who loves history, architecture or simply a good story, and Experience Days vouchers make a thoughtful birthday or Christmas gift for anyone planning a trip to Cambridge.
