I am a member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding and have been working as a guide in Cambridge for seven years. I really love showing visitors around this beautiful, historic city with its University buildings, student traditions and wide open spaces. There is always something going on which makes it such an exciting place to visit! In fact, Cambridge has a wealth of experiences to offer, from visiting the colleges and museums, to punting on the river or strolling in parks. It is a thriving city, benefitting from its reputation as a centre for science and technology following the explosion of technology, life sciences and service companies, commonly known as the Cambridge Phenomenon. The atmosphere is very much of a university city, however, as the students are all around, either in accommodation owned by the colleges, or cycling to lectures on their bicycles! When not working, I enjoy exploring the museums and markets of Cambridge, playing tennis and badminton, travelling abroad and looking after my grandchildren. I am looking forward to meeting you and providing you with an interesting, informative and fun-filled tour of Cambridge! Have a look at my suggested tours or, if you prefer, I would be very happy to customize a tour specially for you. Institute of Tourist Guiding Degree: B.A. French I am not a driver.

A fascinating insight into the history, traditions and student life of the University colleges spanning 800 years. Visit the highlight of the tour, King's College Chapel with its Gothic pinnacles, celebrated Choir and Christmas Eve carol service. Admire the front of Trinity College, founded in 1546 by Henry VIII, famous for marrying six wives. Enjoy stories of student pranks and watch the flat-bottomed boats called punts as they travel along the River Cam propelled by boatmen with long poles. Learn about life-changing discoveries in Cambridge, such as the structure of DNA at the Cavendish Laboratory. Pause at the Eagle pub to hear stories of the World War 2 British and American pilots' nights of revelry! Marvel at the unique modern Corpus clock with its amazing grasshopper. I really love this city and shall be happy to share with you the stories I have learned over the years I have been living and working here.
Our guide, Rosemary, was very pleasant, organized, and geared her tour to our interests and walking speed. We learned lots of interesting information about Cambridge while enjoying ourselves immensely. 5-star rating. Delightful!
Excellent tour!
Rosemary was great! We really enjoyed the day learning about the history and the people of Cambridge. I can't imagine going for the day and not having a walking tour. But to honest, spending the time with Rosemary was just as great as the tour. Just book it, you won't be disappointed.
Absolutely delightful tour with Rosemary. She was extremely knowledgable, had a great spark of curiosity and delight. The city and university/ colleges themselves were breathtakingly beautiful, and it was amazing to hear about all of the history. Recommend unequivocally.
Rosemary was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She catered the tour to our interests. We enjoyed her company and would definitely recommend using her as a tour guide.
