Every private tour is fully customisable: choose the time and meeting place, and have the itinerary tailored to your group's interests, age and mobility. We recommend a 1-hour tour to explore King's, or a 1.5 or 2-hour tour to include more of the historic city centre.
Entry to the college depends on King's College's availability and visitor arrangements, and the tour price does not include the college's entrance fee. When you enquire, we'll confirm what's possible for your group and arrange your guide around your entry time.
King's College and Chapel
King's College, one of the 31 colleges that make up the University of Cambridge, is one of the most recognisable sights in the city. Lying between King's Parade and the River Cam, the college was founded in 1441 by Henry VI, and its chapel is regarded as one of the greatest examples of late Gothic English architecture.
Our expert and passionate guides will take you on an enjoyable, engaging tour of King's, full of historical facts and fascinating stories. Highlights include:
- The chapel that took 100 years, 5 kings and 4 master masons to complete
- King's College Chapel – the finest example of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in Europe
- The magnificent fan-vaulted ceiling, the largest of its type in the world
- The most complete set of 16th-century stained glass
- The oak screen carved with the initials of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn
- Rubens' altarpiece, The Adoration of the Magi
