    Fantastic and enjoyable tour of Cambridge!
    I recently went on a guided tour in Cambridge, and it was fantastic. The tour guide knew a lot about the city and its history, including the university. Even though it was move-in day and we couldn't visit any of the colleges or King's College Chapel, the tour was still very enjoyable. We walked through the beautiful streets and learned about the architecture from outside. The guide was really good at talking to everyone and made sure we all had a good time. She also gave us tips on other places to see and where to eat in the city. I recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn about Cambridge and have a fun day out. Unfortunately, I don't remember our guide's name; we were on the "free walking tour" on Sunday 6 of October 2024.

    Good over view of town and university
    Our guide, Kieran, was personable, knowledgeable, and sometimes amusing. He reviewed English history when it was relevant and explained the development of the town and university. He occasionally added his personal experiences as a student. In our two hour tour we walked a moderate distance with frequent stops. My only suggestion is to limit the number of participants per tour.

    Great way to see and learn about Cambridge
    Margaret our guide shared lots of interesting facts with us during the walk on a very wet bank holiday Saturday. Despite the rain, she remained upbeat engaging with different members of the group during the walk - which was really appreciated. We paid for the tour which included the visit to Kings College Chapel, which is beautiful. This is a great way to learn a lot about Cambridge whilst taking in all the key sites.

    A fantastic introduction to Cambridge
    We were very impressed by the knowledge and friendly interaction shown by our guide Dr Sonya, who is an academic with experience of working at Cambridge university. She made us feel welcome immediately, sprinkling the factual content of her tour with well selected anecdotes and historical vignettes. The walk encompassed a number of colleges, the Backs and some picturesque bridges, culminating in a visit to the King's College Chapel, whose memorable Evensong service was recommended by the guide.

    A must do walking tour in Cambridge!
    We joined the Footprints Walking Tour in Cambridge on 30.12.2023. It was excellent! Our tour guide Sonja is very knowledgeable. Being the local and student herself, she knows the history of Cambridge very well. The walking tour is definitely a good introduction before we explore the town ourselves after the tour!

Booked the tour online expecting to go in buildings or grounds in Cambridge. After meeting at Kings college we set off with our guide Alice . A busy day ( graduation day ) , so many people on the streets and at times a little difficult to hear what was being said . We wandered round for 1 1/2 hours and saw plenty of things that you could find yourself quite easily . Alice was lovely and informative but we did not go anywhere that was special ( thinking maybe wander round a college garden or grounds maybe 🤔) . Certainly not value for money , done quite a few walking tours ( see my reviews ) and this one just did not wow or surprise me . At the price of £46 for the two us , cannot really recommend, just do your own thing , you’ll find most things without much effort .

This is not our company - we have never had a guide called Alice work for us - this visitor used a competitor. We have requested the user remove this incorrect review

Fantastic tour and Cordelia was an amazing guide. I did the free tour where you pay what you think it is worth, and I wish I had been able to give more because it was so educational. You learn the good and the ugly of the university city from millennia ago to what it is today.
Your guide brings you through the streets of Cambridge while also taking you to spots where you aren't being interrupted by other tourists. If you are in Cambridge, I would 100% suggest taking this tour. I would recommend going in the morning time so you can see the lay of the land and get some background before you start your sightseeing on your own. It's a lot of walking, but it goes by quickly.
If this is the quality of their larger tour, I think their smaller group tours must be also incredible.

We arrived expecting a large group to find it was just 3 of us, maybe as it was Valentine's day.
However, for us it meant we had a personal tour which was fantastic. Cambridge is a beautiful city and our tour guide Claudia was extremely knowledgeable, we learnt so much about the history & architecture and she even gave us tips on how to see the colleges for free. From her recommendation we went to Evensong at Kings College which was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

We are delighted to hear that you had fun tour with Claudia and received plenty of insider tips about Cambridge. That is one of the things we aim to do :) I will make sure Claudia sees your kind words

Sonya was excellent tour guide. She provided us with tons of information about history of Cambridge, details about University of Cambridge and she took us around to see most of the historic center. The tour was not only information, but also fun and entertaining. Even though we had very large age range in the group, Sonya made it very engaging for everyone. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Cambridge, and you can't beat the price!

Very recommendable walking tour. It is a free tour (only the tip you decide at the end) that lasts 2 hours. The guide was knowledgeable and amenable. The only thing is that you do not enter the King's College nor any other colleague. Therefore, I would recommend that you buy the entrance to the King's College Abbey afterwards (Sundays closed).

Delayed due to one guide not turning up on time. Tour was over subscribed, so no entry to kings college chapel happened, neither did entry to kings college itself. Tour guide only stopped a few times throughout the hour and a half “tour”. Poor, and could’ve done the walk on my own for free.

Fabulous tour with a really knowledgeable and interesting guide. We did the ‘free’ walking tour where we paid what we thought it was worth at the end, so gave a generous tip, as did thankfully most of the quite large group. My husband and I were with our son and his girlfriend and we all agreed how much we enjoyed it. The tour lasted about 2 hours but went very quickly. We had done a 45 minute punting trip in the morning, and were a little concerned that it could be quite repetitive but this wasn’t the case at all. Rowena was so articulate and very mindful of our safety as we walked around the city, as well as being happy to answer our questions. Thank you so much.

The tour concentrated on the history of various universities as we walked around the city centre. The two hours went quickly, and we were very interested in hearing all the narrative and anecdotes. We'd recommend this tour, and we liked the idea that you could pay a tip according to how much you enjoyed it. A good tour.

Sonia was an excellent tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the city of Cambridge as well as the university and colleges. We saw quite a lot of important historical sites during the tour; however, we didn’t have to walk great distances which was nice. Sonia encouraged questions and was able to answer them all with ease and humour. This was a great use of our time in Cambridge. I would strongly recommend this tour to everyone for their first trip to the city as it really is a lovely way to orient yourself and understand the vast history of this place. Again, thanks to Sonia for her warmth and vast knowledge. Tipping at the end of the trip is encouraged and I believe very appropriate given the exceptional nature of the tour!

Our guide for the trip was Sonya , she was extremely knowledgeable, informative and humorous, making the experience immensely enjoyable , whilst also being highly educational , answering all questions .
It was bitterly cold on the day , however she was full of engaging enthusiasm, and the 2 hour tour whizzed by , how we wished it had gone on for longer .
Would recommend anyone visiting Cambridge to take advantage of this, gives you so much insight , and embellished the visiting experience.
It's a free tour therefore donations are welcome , we were happy to make a hopefully reasonable and reflective donation , she was fully deserving of all donations given .
Be sure to make this a priority of your visit , cannot recommend highly enough , especially if you are guided by Sonya .
