It is alot of walking. The history of the city is amazing. The gallery magnificent. if the weather takes a turn fo the cold, it is alot of cobblestone walking for an oder person. Tom did a great job!

Our guide met us at our flat and we grabbed the train to Windsor. She made it a great day, seeing all of Windsor Castle and shopped the fun town. Christmas lights were awesome and we finished the day enjoying Afternoon Tea at Sir Christopher Wren Hotel on the river.

Loved touring Windsor Castle. Our tour guide, JJ Hazan, booked us a lovely lunch at The Ivy which we enjoyed. He was very helpful in navigating the best times to arrive at the castle & knew what to see when. We even got to catch a changing of the guard.

Nigel was very informative and enjoyable. Great lunch as well . When my husband took a tumble Nigel was fast and considerate. He made sure we got back to our hotel via the underground. Good conversation the the train and wanted to know about us. Thank you Nigel

Our tour guide Natasha is very knowledgeable about the history and tried to understand our interests and showed us the best part of the town. It was a bespoke tour and it suits family with young children. We would definitely come back again!

We loved visiting Cambridge with our guide Elle, she was so kind, friendly and patient and it really made our vacation to England memorable! We will definitely be booking with CityUnscripted again.

What you’ll do

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.
