Tommy our guide was brilliant. Engaging, knowledgeable and incredibly personable. The tour in itself was a wonderful balance between historical and social information, and Tommy brought forth his student knowledge beautifully. We have been on tours before, but to have one from a student brings a different perspective to the whole experience. We would happily recommend the Alumni tour to anyone who asks.

I had Linzhi as my guide and it was a phenomenal experience. She was very knowledgeable, she gave us facts and trivia about each college. I was also lucky to have her because she is an alumni of Queens’ College of Cambridge which allowed us to enter the Queens’ college and walk on the mathematical bridge specially. It was a fantastic experience.

Francesco was a wonderful tour guide. His stories and narrative were lyrical and entertaining. He was considerate of everyone in the group and gave us a really great sense of the history and contemporary experience of scholarship in Cambridge. Thanks!!
