Cambridge: University Walking Tour

Good to know

While we try our best to visit colleges as part of the tour, it is not always possible to go inside college grounds and we cannot guarantee this. Tours will not be able to enter colleges during University exam term (late April to end of June). The tour involves walking at a moderate to fast pace. The route is pushchair accessible but not wheelchair accessible. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Dogs are welcome but, due to college restrictions, visitors with dogs will need to remain outside any colleges visited. A walk may need to be cancelled if fewer than two people sign up. Walks meet inside the Round Church Visitor Centre - upon arrival please come inside the Round Church and check in at the welcome desk. Tours last 90-120 minutes.
