My family recently enjoyed a walking tour of Cambridge organised with Oxbridge Tours. Despite it being a bitterly cold day the guide was good-humoured and entertaining, took the tour at a pace to suit us and even ran over time to ensure that we were given as much information as possible about the key attractions and sites of interest.

We did a private tour and it was outstanding. In addition to being able to enter areas not open to the public, our guide Gerald, a doctoral student, was a great source on the history of the school and also gave a good understanding of what it's like to be a Cambridge student since he had also been an undergrad...

We chose this tour as the reports on Trip Advisor were good. There was no structure to our tour. Our guide made no effort to find out if we had been to Cambridge before or what we knew or what we wanted to see and do. Highlights included going into Kings chapel, but overall we felt the tour was poorly... More

We took a private walking tour for two of Cambridge with Oxbridge Tours. Our postgrad student guide was excellent. He was punctual and took time at the beginning of the tour to ask what we wanted us to see. He took us to parts of his own college which were not generally open to the public and gave us a... More

We were delighted to be guided by Sarah a post graduate who provided a very informative tour. Our French friends were very impressed by her knowledge, patience and... More

We booked a tour of Oxford with Oxbridge Tours. Our guide, Daniel, was there early. He was knowledgable and entertaining in equal measure. We saw places that we would never have set foot in without him, and learnt so much about the university and the town. Highly recommended.

The company went the extra mile for us finding a student guide who was able to answer the questions of an aspiring Oxbridge undergraduate. Our guide was was eloquent and highly informative both in terms of the history of Cambridge and student life. Moreover he was a really friendly chap - a great ambassador for the university.

My daughter and I had never been to Cambridge before, so didn't know one end of the town from another. Our guide Donald was waiting promptly for us at the Corpus clock and since we'd got lost trying to find it (!), he gave us the extra time on the end to make up, which I thought was really good...

My group of friends and I often get together in Cambridge to catch up, normally with a little outing planned; they have punt tours, Shakespeare performances in the college gardens, lots to choose from – and we almost always end up with an extended stop in one of the lovely pubs there. Oxbridge tours were fantastic!! It was actually my... More

I booked for October half term as I had seen the tour company reviewed in the Telegraph. Like one of the other reviewers, we had to wait for the tour guide - about 20-30 minutes, but when she did turn up we had a fabulous time - just like most of the comments on here. I would recommend them &... More
