Explore the beautiful medieval university city of Cambridge, including a visit to King's College Chapel and a welcome drink at a local pub with your private guide.
Cambridge is a beautiful medieval university city, situated on the River Cam in eastern England. The city dates back to 875, and the university was founded in 1209, making it the second oldest university in England and one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world.
On your private tour, you will:
Cambridge University was founded by Oxford scholars who escaped the town/gown riots in the 13th century, and the two universities have enjoyed a friendly (sometimes not so friendly!) rivalry for many centuries. The most famous example of this is the annual Boat Race along the River Thames. As England’s two most ancient universities, they are often called ‘Oxbridge’.
Today the ‘modern’ city of Cambridge has a rich array of bookshops, cafes, pubs, live music venues, comedy clubs, galleries, museums and scenic riverside parks. The banks of the River Cam are fabulous places for picnics and swimming in the summer months.
On this private walking tour through this beautiful, historic, and world-famous city, your guide will help you uncover the many layers and stories of both Cambridge and its alumni including luminaries such as Stephen Hawking, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, poets such as Byron and Wordsworth, and several prime ministers.
