We were four of a small but obviously select party of seven tourers led around Cambridge by very effervescent guide - Bella - studying for a Masters in Creative writing. Her knowledge of the town was brilliant and was super-easy to listen to as we walked from street to street, building to building and picked up more and more facts as we went along. Whilst the weather may have been rather dreary, the same could not be further from the experience on this well delivered walk through time made all the more worthwhile with Bella as our guide.

Great explanation and enunciation of her words. There could have been less name dropping, & I felt she was trying to sell to the one prospective student in our group.

Mark with a K painted a vibrant picture of Cambridge life both past and present. He engaged a very eclectic group (kids, multi cultures and even Amercans) with humor and knowledge. I especially enjoyed his explanation of the college system and how he wove women's history ( the good and the ugly) into his routine.
