PLEASE READ
We are attempting to re-start these tours from 8th August 2021, the first time since COVID-19. There remains a chance we will have to cancel these on the day, due to isolations or many other factors. Our Cambridge University & City Tour (a pre-paid tour) is a far more reliable tour which goes inside the University, in small groups. Please bear with us, as we try to start the only Free Walking Tours in Cambridge, during an exceptionally difficult time, after a very difficult two years. Expect large group sizes.

A Wealth Of History In A Fun Way
The tour covers a vast range of different topics, all explained clearly and accessibly by our guides. We take you through the story of Cambridge, from the city’s beginnings as a humble Saxon town through to its current position as a world-famous seat of learning and culture. 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.
