Every Public Tour, Led by an Accredited Guide
Cambridge has plenty of walking tours to choose from — but every one of our public tours is led by a professionally trained guide who holds an official Blue or Green Badge from the Institute of Tourist Guiding, so you always know exactly who you're walking with.
Reserve Your PlaceWhat to Expect
The Cambridge Highlights Tour is the perfect way to take in the world-famous sights of Cambridge. Fully qualified guides ensure an entertaining and informative walk covering all the city centre's must-see sights — from the historic colleges to Senate House, the Corpus Clock and the Cavendish Laboratory.
Perfect for short visits or as an introduction to the city, it's ideal for first-time visitors wanting to make the most of their time in Cambridge. All Cantab Tours guides are professionally trained and hold either a Blue or Green Badge awarded by the Institute of Tourist Guiding, and are members of the Society of Cambridge Tourist Guides — so look out for the official badge, and don't be fooled by unofficial tours.
“Our guide, Mary, was excellent — welcoming, knowledgeable, engaging and she brought the city to life with her stories and experiences. Her genuine love of Cambridge shone through.”
