Cambridge University Guided Tour
Cambridge University Guided Tour
We'll meet at the entrance to King's College at the selected time, and spend 1.5 hours exploring the beautiful city of Cambridge.
During the tour, we'll travel back in time and find out about a thousand years of human history. First, we'll head to the Great Saint Mary's Church, dedicated to Saint Mayor the Great. You'll have the chance to see the room in which Newton wrote his theory of gravity and get to know the secrets of the apple tree myth. We'll also visit the pub where Watson and Crick announced one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century and a contemporary clock that curiously doesn't tell the time correctly. While we explore, you'll be impressed by the Gothic and Neoclassical architecture.
The student atmosphere in Cambridge is one of its key features, so the tour guide will be a University of Cambridge graduate or current student with inside knowledge of the city's history and architecture. They'll also give you a look into what the students really get up to including the “college parents” and the May Balls, you'll also learn interesting facts about each college including which is the most luxurious. We'll also see the different buildings that make up the prestigious Cambridge University, such as Corpus Christi College, Trinity College, Pembroke College, and Clare College.
Plus, you'll see Cambridge University Library and the Christopher Wren Library, some of Cambridge's most important libraries. Some of the remarkable highlights of the tour include Queens’ College, King’s College backs, Clare College, The Senate House, Gonville and Caius College, St Catherine’s College, Great St Mary’s Church, The Eagle Pub, The Corpus Clock, and The Round Church.
