Die ursprüngliche unbequeme CambridgeTM Tour

We did the British Empire tour as a family with our 3 kids aged 25,22 and 18. Very interesting perspective on the history of Cambridge and very good discussions with Ranjini. We recommend.

Knowing Cambridge from visiting as a tourist a couple of times and then as a parent of a student I was not sure what to expect from the tour. The existing positive reviews on Trip Advisor fueled my anticipation and expectation and I was not disappointed. Our guide used his knowledge and narrative to help us see the city and its history from a different perspective. The interactive element was also great as it added to the engagement. Our guide was knowledgable and provided us with a wealth of information, also asking our take on various topics brought up. People who had an opinion offered it to the group, lots of food for thought. I learned as much from the guide as from the other people who came on the tour! I loved the content, it covered different themes e.g. slavery, gender, race and more! Highly recommended.

We went on the Uncomfortable Cambridge tour this afternoon. This tour won’t get you the good camera angles but it will open your eyes to the less palatable aspects of the pretty city. Subjects such as slavery, town & gown conflicts that continue into the present day and women’s education are all covered. The guide facilitated discussion on the uncomfortable topics. The discussion between participants was stimulating. Would definitely go on another of these decolonizing tours.
