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.

“Great Tour, Great Guide, Great Time!”
I went on the CS Lewis tour and it was a great experience. Would highly recommend taking any tour with this guide, as he is very knowledgeable and conversational! My only regret is that I only had time to do one tour!
