The punter told us interesting anecdotes of the school and its history. They also have the option to allow you to steer the punt, but we saw that it wasn't easy to steer because some of those people got stuck in the wrong direction. Highly recommend for a relaxed boat ride on the river to enjoy the scenery of the school grounds.

He was outgoing, answered all of our questions, and gave great recommendations. His punting was skilled and safe. If I could give him 6 stars I absolutely would.

Mary is extremely knowledgeable on the history of Cambridge and all of the colleges of Cambridge University. She has a delightful wit about her and was a pleasure to tour with, she is also apparently well regarded by her peers. I definitely recommend Mary and Cambridge Tour Guides, £100 for 2 hours and up to 6 person, makes for an affordable personalized tour experience that is well worth it!

Oxburgh Hall is a place that shouldn't be missed when visiting the area. It sits within a moat and…read moreis a great example of English brick gatehouses of the 15th century. It was originally built circa 1482 by Sir Edmund Bedingfeld and has been continuously occupied by the family ever since. There have been several upgrades as well over the years...centuries. There are Victorian additions that were added later in the 1800's like the terracotta chimneys and windows along with amazing gardens to name a few. It has always been used as a home, and not a fortress. The home has seen the War of the Roses, survived a fire and near demolition prospects and still stands. It is truly an amazing place to visit and I'm happy it's under the care of the National Trust. The hall is known for its "Priest hole". In the event of a raid a priest could hide in the wall and couldn't be found. This is open to the public, whereas most like it are closed. That makes this is a fantastic historical opportunity alone. I must say, it is a little unsettling to go into the hole and you definitely get the idea of how the priest must have felt. The home is also known for the needlework on display by Mary, Queen of Scots while imprisoned in England and Bess of Hardwick. You can also tour the Kings Room where King Henri VIII stayed when visiting. Photos are not allowed inside...darn it, but you are welcome to take pictures of the grounds and such. You can obtain books and postcards in the gift shop. This review was overdue and I simply can't believe that I didn't finish it. But I'm even more surprised that no one else has reviewed this place when it is so extraordinary. It shouldn't be missed if you are in the area. If you are a history buff like us, then you'll truly enjoy it. Gee Whiz info...the name is pronounced: "OX bru" Note: I also recommend becoming a member of the National Trust. They do great things and keep history alive. Whether you are from or live in the UK or just visiting from outside the country...it's well worth it and goes to a great cause...it's a win/win for all!

Anita was our walking tour guide, and she was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the history of Cambridge and various colleges within it. The inside of King's College Chapel is gorgeous and we were glad we purchased this "upgrade" option with our tour. The punting experience was pleasant and we got great views of various colleges from the river that we couldn't get from land. That said, it's important to note that the tour guides share much of the same content during the walking and punting tours (our punting guide Moses was also pretty good!). It was nice hearing the Cambridge student perspective from Anita. Overall, we had a positive experience and would definitely recommend this tour!
