描述

Discover Cambridge on a guided day trip from London with train tickets. Explore the city's historic colleges, visit the Botanic Garden, and enjoy a stop at Fitzbillies Bakery.
Meet your guide at King’s Cross Station and take a train to Cambridge. Once there, explore some of the world’s most prestigious colleges. Visit King’s College Chapel and see an original copy of the King James Bible.

Visit a traditional pub that was a favourite haunt for RAF crews during the Second World War, and discover the incredible story of the Cambridge Spy Ring, the group of graduates whose actions nearly shattered the special relationship between the UK and the USA at the height of the Cold War.

Take in some of the most beautiful landscapes in eastern England. At the end of the day, your guide will ensure a relaxed and comfortable return journey back to London, making the entire experience completely stress-free.

The tour includes but is not limited to:

Visit the Cambridge University Botanic Garden, founded by John Stevens Henslow, mentor to Charles Darwin. As you wander through this peaceful haven, your guide will point out highlights such as the famous ‘Brick Tree’. Should you be a keen gardener and wish to spend a little extra time here, your guide will happily adjust the itinerary on the day.

The Fitzwilliam Museum, which houses a beautiful collection of antiquities, paintings, sculptures, and much more, made possible by a generous gift from a former Cambridge student in 1816.

Visit Pembroke College, the first of several Cambridge colleges you will visit. It features a wonderful chapel — the first building designed by the great architect Sir Christopher Wren. Your guide will explain how Wren, while working at Oxford, came to design this chapel and how it paved the way for his later masterpiece, St Paul’s Cathedral in London. You’ll also hear about the college’s notable alumni, including famous comedians, actors, poets, and a Prime Minister.

Stop at Fitzbillies Bakery to experience a true Cambridge delicacy. Famous among students, academics, and visitors for its Chelsea buns, this is the perfect spot for a coffee and a cake. While you rest your legs, your guide will share the history of this Cambridge institution and how its Chelsea buns became legendary.

See the Corpus Clock, a striking timepiece and sculpture designed by inventor John C. Taylor. Located at Corpus Christi College, every element of the clock carries unique meaning. Since its unveiling in 2008, it has become a favorite landmark for both locals and visitors.

King’s College and its Chapel
King’s College was founded in 1441 by King Henry VI. For 400 years, it admitted only students from Eton, and its graduates did not sit examinations. It remains one of the UK’s most prestigious colleges, with notable alumni including Alan Turing and Zadie Smith. Here we will explore the beautiful grounds before visiting the magnificent King’s College Chapel. King’s College Chapel is one of the most stunning sites of Christian worship in the United Kingdom.
