Visit the historic town of Cambridge, explore its magnificent university buildings and uncover years of history on a private day trip from London
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Just a short train ride from London, you'll find Cambridge, the world-famous university city that's steeped in history, culture, and academia. Can you picture yourself relaxing on manicured lawns or punting lazily along the River Cam and strolling through the grounds of the stunning university buildings? We can.
You could explore the dramatic architecture of the university's famous King's College Chapel and the Bridge of Sighs, then wander through a colorful market and walk along The Backs.
Since you're in the city home to one of the world's most prestigious universities, it seems wrong not to pay homage to the iconic Trinity College Library, where you'll find an original manuscript of Winnie the Pooh and Newton's "Principia Mathematica" on display!
During your escapades, you and your London host might like to pop into a cozy British pub, where you can enjoy classic food and a pint of real ale. If that's not your vibe, you could always head to one of the city's cafes where locally-grown produce is served.

Show moreWe just returned from the most incredible trip to London, and hands down, the highlight of our entire visit was our time spent with Tom, our amazing tour guide! Traveling with a mix of family and a close friend, we were a pretty diverse group—but Tom managed to make every single one of us feel engaged, entertained, and completely taken care of from start to finish. From the moment we met him, Tom's energy, knowledge, and passion for London were absolutely infectious. He didn’t just rattle off dates and facts—he brought the city to life with fascinating stories, hidden secrets, and hilarious anecdotes that you won’t find in any guidebook. Whether we were strolling through the historic streets of Westminster, standing in awe outside Buckingham Palace, or navigating the quirky charm of Camden Market, Tom’s commentary made every stop unforgettable. What really stood out was how personal and flexible the tour felt. Tom took the time to get to know us and customized parts of the day to match our interests. He even kept the us entertained with fun trivia and little challenges, while giving deeper insights into London’s rich history and culture. Beyond being incredibly knowledgeable, Tom is just a genuinely kind and incredibly hilarious. He made sure everyone was comfortable, gave us great photo tips (and took some amazing group shots!), and his passion for sharing London truly made the city feel like home.
