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. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
