Combined tour with ur tour guide, Naomi was excellent. She was a knowledgeable, kind, and passionate. We learned lots of interesting insights history of the colleges we wouldn't otherwise have known. The punting tour was the best. We really enjoyed the incredible and peaceful beauty of Cambridge from the river. I highly recommend this tour!
Great tour

Sophie was an excellent tour guide. We got so much more out of our visit by having our group tour. The history and the walks were excellent. We had the option with the visit to Kings College, which was spectacular to walk in the wildflower field and step inside the chapel. We also did the punting option, and the location for departure was away from the bustle and perfect. This made our visit, all the way from Colorado in the US. Thank you!
Fun experience of short on time in Cambridge

Great walking and punting tour

Learning about the history of Cambridge University while walking its streets and pathways, and then viewing some of the colleges from a punt on the Cam. Ashley, our University Alumni Tours guide, was excellent; and Tom, on the Granta punt, was great as well.

Wall walk
John_W
, May 2022
We did not enjoy the walk around the outside walls of the schools. We did not get inside any buildings and only got long views of churches and school buildinds.
We could have walked around the exterior ourselves and told old school buddies stories.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hello John,
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Occasionally these locations do host private events not listed on their website which may cause issues. It is very infrequent and we will always provide some sort of compensation in these instances. Please email info@alumni.tours with your booking number and one of our managers will be in touch within the week.
Kind regards,

Good way to get the most out of a visit to Cambridge

, Apr 2022
Meeting instruction were clear and accurate. We started in a group of about 10 with a walking tour of the centre of Cambridge and the university colleges. Emily was out guide, an alumni, who was very knowledgeable and held our interest and answered any questions asked. She even recommended the best ice cream parlour to visit.
After that we had a 10 minute walk to grr to our punting trip on the river. Guy was our guys and punter for this. Again he was knowledgeable and provided us with some funny stories as we went alongside.
Overall happy with the combined tours which was a lovely way to spend about 3 hours overall in getting to know this lovely City.

Cambridge Walking and punting experience (not very original I know!).

, Mar 2022
Becky the walking guide great. Very knowledgeable, very friendly. The punting itself was good but the arrangements were disorganized in that they didn’t have us booked so they were taken by surprise when we and another 3 people who were also booked turned up. Our ‘punter’ Chris was also very knowledgeable, friendly and full of life! All around a good experience.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
