Introduction to British espionage.


05:40 PM

St John's College: The Great Gate

Let's begin with this: multi-faceted individuals make good spies.

05:50 PM

Trinity College: The Great Gate

Nothing was ever the same after some high-flyers took off.

06:10 PM

Senate House Hill

Some spies come and some go. Some are found out, some are not.

06:30 PM

King's Parade

Some are killed, some make others die. The espionage world has not really changed much over the centuries. You must hear this.

06:40 PM

Outside of Pembroke College

Sometimes decisions are made that have massive consecuences. A paper footprint will lead to a trail of blood. You and I will always be outsiders to this sort of thing.

The Old Cavendish Laboratory

Is it possible to be good, bad and ugly at the same time? Of course, it is. I will like to hear your opinion on this after you learn of one individual here.

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!

Jed M.

Thank you. It was a pleasure to show you how Cambridge has links with C S Lewis. Feel free to come on another tour next time you come to Cambridge!

Most people know of Cambridge's excellence in many fields of human study and activity. Yet, fewer people know how their environment shaped many of its pioneering individuals. This walking tour invites you to admire the sheer beauty of Cambridge's streets, bridges and green spaces while you hear some fascinating stories about such people of both past and present: kings, queens, presidents, Nobel Prize winners, Hollywood actors, military leaders, religious reformers, healthcare pioneers, etc.

Cambridge
1 hour 30 min

This 1.5-hour walking tour covers the years that C S Lewis spent in Cambridge in the 1950s and early 1960s. We shall walk some of the streets he walked, listen to some quotes from his books read out loud, and if anyone is willing, even talk about some of the topics which interested him. Lewis once said "I can’t imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.” This tour will show you that C S Lewis was more than the famous author who wrote The Chronicles of Narnia.

This 2-hour walking tour of Cambridge will delight and amaze you. Here's a question: What do atomic research, the translation of the Bible, dental care, the speed of sound, Romantics poetry, night climbing and an anti-slavery campaign have in common? Answer: Cambridge people have played an important and influential role in either their creation, research or application. You will also learn about traditions in sport and music, and even pranks and jokes which relate to the university and the city.

Un tour a pie que revela cómo Cambridge ha sido un nido de espias durante 5 siglos. Desde la época de la dinastía Tudor hasta los conflictos armados del siglo veintiuno varias agencias de espionaje han reclutado personas que residieron en Cambridge. Aunque cueste creerlo, algunas de las acciones de estos agentes cambiaron el curso de importantes acontecimientos históricos . Atención a quienes son fans del agente 007: en este tour os espera una sorpresa (o mejor dicho más de una) respecto a él.
