The tour is not bad and our guide did a good job. Potentially, I hoped for more unique content, given it's not cheap, maybe being taken inside buildings and told some little known facts, otherwise it felt as if it's designed for children or tourists who so far only heard positive things about Cambridge University and history in general. It's a pleasant walk around the city centre, and a few facts were curious.

We joined the original Uncomfortable Cambridge tour on 25/2/23. My son had been bought it as a Christmas present and more of us joined him! Rose was very informative and we enjoyed the discussion within the group. We’d love to do do more of the Uncomfortable Cambridge tours.

We went on the tour with Aradhya today and really enjoyed it. I learned a lot about the university's history and we had a lot of really interesting discussions. Our guide was friendly, welcoming, and professional. We've been talking about it all day!
