Tours around Cambridge

WALKING TOURS:

A wonderful introduction to the city is an Official Guided Walking Tour. Conducted daily, the 2-hour tours leave from the Tourist Information Centre in Wheeler Street . Book at least half an hour ahead since each tour only goes to a limited set of places. On summer nights there are "Drama Tours" where costumed actors play the part of historical figures such as Isaac Newton and Henry VIII. Blue Badge Guides oversee each tour; any group visiting one of the colleges must be accompanied by a qualified Guide.
