Great experience

A great walking tour of Cambridge and its world class university.

Very informative and interesting tour, led by an excellent guide. It was particularly interesting because the guide had recently graduated from a Cambridge college and knew a great deal about the university structure, its colleges and many of its alumni throughout the centuries. An energetic walk on a very hot day. The tour gets full marks from us.
Kings College Chapel Was the best

My wife and I had a great time touring the campus with Naomi. She was knowledgeable, funny, and easy to talk to. We didn't know there were so many ghost stories at Cambridge!
Response from Host , May 2022
Hello Chip,
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. It was a pleasure hosting you in Cambridge and we are glad you found the tour informative and relaxing. We do hope you’ll tour with us again in future, possibly in one of our other locations such as Oxford. When booking, use code ‘CAT10’ for 10% off any of our services.
Kind regards,
Alumni Tours Management

a terrible experience
Rohini_S
, May 2022
what is memorable was that it will be remembered as a BAD experience. i have had tons of walking tours. it is what i do every time i go to a new city. many of these are free tours. i have never had a tour where there was mostly walking with barely any talking. for a tour that was quiet high priced having a guide who had barely no knowledge about what we were seeing is a sad sad thing.
we walked around - did not go into a single college ... had one sentence at most about the places we stopped at. we heard other tours near us and i learnt more those over hearing those guides than ours. extremely disappointing.
you say it includes a visit to kings chapel but basically all it included was an entrance to it, for which we could have simply bought tickets.
this was one of the most rip-off tours i have ever had.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hello Rohini,
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We do apologise that your experience was not up to our usual standard and we would love the chance to make it right. Our management team will reach out to you this week. Your feedback is important and much appreciated and we promise to improve.
Kind regards,

Very good, but I expected a guided tour around Kings College. Paying an additional £14 for mere entry is outrageous!

The stories Emily told.
My disappointment at not being given a tour around Kings College and the Chapel. We felt cheated.
Admission to Kings is normally £10, and we paid an additional £14.
Not happy at all. (No reflection on our tour guide for the rest).
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Dear Mary,
Thank you for your review.
We have set up our tour to accommodate entry to King's College & King's College chapel at the end of our classic tour route. This enables you to roam the grounds & chapel at your own pace at the end of the tour. Our guide will always give you a thorough explanation of King's College history before the tour has ended. You are then given a self guided tour brochure which compliments the guided tour.
The cost for King's College entry is £10 however there are additional processing/admin fees incurred when we handle this for you. So this mean there is only a £4 difference compared to buying the ticket yourself, which we make nothing out of. We arrange this for your convenience and to enhance your experience of Cambridge.
I hope this clears up the matter. We are very pleased you enjoyed your tour with Emily and we wish you the best in your future travels.
Best wishes,
Alumni Tours
Great tour!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
