Explore Cambridge with a University guide. Hear insider stories, visit King’s, Trinity & St John’s, and enjoy optional entry to King’s College Chapel on this authentic small-group tour.
Step into the world of Cambridge University on an authentic walking tour led by real Cambridge students and graduates. Discover centuries of history, academic tradition, and student life as your local guide brings the city’s most iconic landmarks to life with insider stories and fun facts.
Start your journey at Great St Mary’s Church, the historic heart of the University since the 1500s. Stroll past the Cambridge University Press Bookshop, the world’s oldest publishing house, before reaching the elegant Senate House, where students have received their degrees for almost 300 years.
Continue to Gonville & Caius College, home to 15 Nobel laureates, including Stephen Hawking, and admire the stunning façade of King’s College, founded by King Henry VI in 1441. Hear about the university’s hidden traditions, the student application process, and life behind the college gates as you explore.
Marvel at the Corpus Clock, an extraordinary golden timepiece crowned by the “Chronophage,” before stopping by the Eagle Pub, where the discovery of DNA was first announced. Step back in time at St Bene’t’s Church, the city’s oldest building, and treat yourself to award-winning handmade ice cream at Jack’s Gelato, a beloved student favourite.
Your guide will lead you through Cambridge’s scientific heart at the Old Cavendish Laboratory, birthplace of discoveries that changed the world, and past Ede & Ravenscroft, Britain’s oldest tailor, still fitting Cambridge scholars for their gowns. Admire the charm of St Catharine’s College before crossing the river to Queens’ College and the world-famous Mathematical Bridge, an engineering marvel of wood and symmetry.
See Darwin College, the first Cambridge college to admit both men and women, and enjoy breathtaking views of King’s College Chapel from The Backs, one of the most photographed scenes in England. Along the riverside, pause at the Clare College DNA Sign and the elegant Clare Bridge, then continue to Garret Hostel Bridge, where the city’s timeless skyline unfolds.
Finish your tour with the magnificent St John’s College and its romantic Bridge of Sighs, followed by Trinity College, home to Newton’s apple tree and the historic Wren Library.
Guests who have selected King’s College entry can continue inside with a self-guided visit — your ticket is included. Explore the chapel’s fan-vault ceiling and world-famous stained glass at your own pace, completing your journey through the heart and soul of Cambridge University.
