Toby our guide was knowledgeable, polite and friendly. Gave us many insights into Cambridge college life and as he is a history student, he gave us fantastic historical insights about Cambridge. Told us funny stories about the trouble Cambridge alumnae got into as well.

I thought this tour was great - we covered a lot of the city, with stops for information from our guide (possibly called Toby? Sorry I don't remember his name). He was very personable, answered our questions thoroughly, and gave great insights into city life today, as well as entertaining anecdotes about life through the ages.

Highly recommend this tour, guide was great and enjoyed the commentary. Tour gives context to the buildings and bring the Cambridge university story to life. We were late and thought we would miss the tour altogether but the office staff were very accommodating allowing us to catch up with the group. Great customer service.
