About Tour Guide Angela D.
The story of Cambridge starts with a murder and continues with tales of love, death, betrayal and intrigue. There is something to interest everyone of all ages and from all nations. I can customise a tour for you and where the numbers are too many for a one guide (school parties for example) I can share the tour with another esteemed Cambridge GoWithGuide colleague. We have all lived in Cambridge for many years and all love telling the city's stories.
Important
I am available at all times, unless I am already booked for another tour. I can sometimes take tours at less than two days notice, if I am available. The maximum number for a group is 15 because that is the number of people in a group who will be admitted into a Cambridge college. However for walking tours around the town, I can take up to 20 people.

A walk through 800 years of Cambridge history
This is a walk with tales of clever but often eccentric people as we go through the city of Cambridge. We see Great St Mary's, the church where the first students studied in 1209 and where in 1381 the peasants revolted. We visit The Eagle pub where in 1953 two young men declared that they had discovered "the secret of life" (they had made a model of the structure of DNA). We talk about the men and women who founded some of the oldest colleges.

A Tour of King's College Chapel and Grounds
This tour includes a visit to the splendid King's College Chapel. with its sixteenth century stained glass windows and the college grounds which cross the river. The chapel took 100 years to build because it went through the reigns of five different kings. There is also the Chinese Stone, a marble moment on which are inscribed the first and last lines of the poem The Sadness of Leaving Cambridge by the Chinese poet Xu Zhimo who studied at King's in the 1920s.

Deborah M.
I am an art and architectural historian. I have worked at the National Gallery and other Museums in London and abroad. I moved to the University city of Cambridge over 35 years ago, lecturing at the University museums, researching and delivering a great variety of courses to locals and visitors alike in the adult sector. Art is my passion that continues to feed my own learning, which I love to share with like minded people. I aim to entertain and educate but above all communicate my own sense of wonder and joy in the world around us. The redemptive power of creativity has never been more vital and desirable in our lives than it is today ! I am keen to motivate, challenge and engage, sharing my knowledge and experience with others. I have organised many short and extended trips around England and abroad for adult students to visit sights of artistic and historical interest over the last 25 years. I am indeed privileged to enjoy my role as a tour guide in such a unique city like Cambridge I have high expectations of myself and always aim to create a high quality, personalised experience for travellers. My reviews are all 5 star ! I have a B. A. in the History of Art with French, an M. A. in Material culture & the built environment, a P. G. C. E. in Art education in Art & Design & T. E. F. L. I have trained town and museum guides locally. My research is ongoing and I am always writing the next chapter ! My tours will give you the benefit of my many years of knowledge and experience and as someone who understands the locality and will take you to the heart of its story. You already know the unique value of the authentic experience. You have arrived at Cambridge, your destination, but now the journey can truly begin, so let me reveal to you what makes this city worth visiting ! Hopefully you will depart enriched by the experience and excited to share your special memories back home.

Manuel S.
Hello! I am Manuel, an experienced and professional tour guide with extensive knowledge of the historic city centre of Cambridge. My walking tours describe men and women whose ideas and actions have affected nearly every area of human endeavour. It is very likely that someone from your region or country is already in this city to either work or study. How can that be possible in a city of less than 150,000 people? Come to one of my tours and find out. I will ensure that, no matter your background or age, your visit to Cambridge is a memorable experience. I hope to see you soon!

Dick M.
A life-long Cambridge resident, Dick began his education at St John’s College Choir School. He has been in love with the city and university ever since. Before qualifying as a tour guide Dick taught in Cambridge and nearby Suffolk. He has played and coached rugby locally and internationally. Dick was coach of the Cambridge University Rugby team, “The Blues”, from 2001 to 2010 helping them to beat Oxford, ‘the other place,’ six times. He also coached the Swedish team at the Women’s World Cup Finals in 2010. A true local, you will find him on the Real Tennis courts at Grange Road, out with his cycling club or in one of Cambridge’s many real ale pubs. Dick says “Cambridge has something to show everyone, with stories of famous people and events at every corner”
