A Wealth Of History In A Fun Way

Cambridge has been around for over 1000 years. Give us two short hours, and we’ll tell you this amazing story from start to finish!

No Boring Tours
All of our Cambridge walking tours are delivered in such a way as to ensure you don’t fall asleep! We hate dry, boring tours that don’t engage their audiences. History doesn’t need to be boring, and with so many big names and events having been tied to Cambridge (as well as the University having so many bizarre traditions and funny stories), we see no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy every single minute of your tour experience.
