Experience Days Tours: Explore eight centuries of university history during this guided punting and walking tour of Cambridge.
With great views and fascinating stories, there’s no better way to discover the city! Your tour begin outside King’s College, where you’ll be met by your guide.
Together, you’ll follow a 90-minute route through the cobbled streets and college quads of Cambridge, pausing at a variety of historic sites and local landmarks.
You'll discover fine examples of Anglo-Saxon, Gothic and Neoclassical architecture, the rooms in which Sir Isaac Newton developed his theory of gravity, and the pub where Crick and Watson announced (and presumably toasted!) their discovery of DNA’s double helix structure.
You’ll also visit several of the university’s most revered colleges and get to see inside two of them.
After you've walked the cobbled streets, you'll head down to the River Cam to enjoy a 50-minute punting tour past eight of the university’s most revered colleges and under nine picturesque bridges.
Along the way, you’ll hear tales of tyrannical rulers, student pranksters and intellectual heavyweights, all while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and scenery of ‘The Backs’.
Would that all history lessons were like this one!The Historic Cambridge Punting and Walking Tour is a must-do activity for anyone visiting the university, and Experience Days vouchers make unique birthday or Christmas gifts.
