Description

Discover some of the most famous colleges at the University of Cambridge with a guided outdoor tour led by a current student or graduate. Gain insights into student life and the rich history of these prestigious institutions. Start your tour at King’s College on King’s Parade and stroll past landmarks such as Corpus Christi College, Queens' College, Trinity Hall, and Trinity College. Explore the halls where notable figures like King Charles III, Sir Isaac Newton, and Stephen Hawking once studied. Be inspired by the Cavendish Laboratory, which made groundbreaking contributions to science. Visit The Eagle pub, where James Watson and Francis Crick announced their world-changing discovery. If you visit King’s College Chapel, you'll end your walking tour at this stunning late Gothic masterpiece, known for its magnificent ceiling and interiors. Your punting tour will start 30 minutes after the walking tour finishes if you don’t choose the King’s College option, or 90 minutes later if you do. Relax on a chauffeured punting cruise along the River Cam, where your guide will share stories about the eight colleges and nine bridges. Feel free to bring refreshments and enjoy a complimentary punting lesson during your cruise.
