Amazing experience! It was cold and we even got some rain but Sonya’s enthusiasm and captivating commentary made us forget the weather to take us back centuries into the rich history of Cambridge. Sonya’s knowledge of the city is endless, she could answer all our questions and bring perspective to historic facts. I strongly recommend doing this tour.

This was the perfect way to see Cambridge! A friend of mine recommended Footprint Tours after doing it twice and it certainly didn't disappoint. Our guide Henry was FANTASTIC! He was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and just generally happy to be there. His joy was infectious and we had such a good time, it didn't even matter that it was a cold and grey November day. Thanks for a fabulous day out in Cambridge, Henry!
