Highlights

Experience Cambridge through the eyes of those who truly lived it. This is the only tour in Cambridge exclusively led by genuine University of Cambridge graduates, operated by Alumni Tours™.


Unlike generic city walks, our guides share personal stories of student life, secret traditions, and the academic rivalries that shaped centuries of discovery.


You’re not just visiting colleges—you’re walking in the footsteps of Newton, Darwin, and Hawking with someone who once studied where they did. Enjoy exclusive entry to King’s College Chapel, the crown jewel of English Gothic architecture, or upgrade to a private bespoke tour with access to additional colleges.


Available in English, Mandarin 中文, and Spanish Español, every detail—from small-group sizes to our royal-blue Alumni uniforms—reflects our commitment to authenticity, storytelling, and excellence.

Chose this tour because of the good ratings. Booking was easy. Megan was an excellent guide. We were a fairly large group, and yet she managed the group professionally, spoke clearly, had eye contact and shared interesting stories about the places we visited. It was a sunny but really chilly day, and walking around was such a good form of exercise and a fun way of seeing Cambridge. Do choose the option with entry to King’s College Chapel - it’s gorgeous! Also, make time for the Even Song service (beautiful choir). If you travel by train, exit the train station and cross over to Station Road to take a Stagecoach bus towards the city centre. Alight at John Lewis and following the signs, or using the City Mapper app, find your way to King’s College, diagonally opposite Great St Mary’s Church. (The way back is via a bus near John Lewis or Uber. Loos are available at M & S Food at Market Square, behind Great St Mary’s Church.) Cambridge is charming and very walkable. Make sure to have good walking shoes and check the weather to have the right clothing on. Enjoy!

Annie was a wonderful guide. She brought life to the different colleges and landmarks around Cambridge with interesting stories of the past and shared personal experiences as well. Great experience and worth every penny! Would recommend the add-on for King's College chapel - beautiful place that left us in awe
