Cambridge: top secret agents
A walking tour revealing how Cambridge has been a source of secret agents for five centuries. Starting with Tudor England and all the way to the 21st century, the actions of some of these individuals changed the course of several important historical events. To any fans of Agent 007 out there: if you come in this tour be ready for a big surprise about him.

Introduction to British espionage.
St John's College: The Great Gate
Let's begin with this: multi-faceted individuals make good spies.
Trinity College: The Great Gate
Nothing was ever the same after some high-flyers took off.
Senate House Hill
Some spies come and some go. Some are found out, some are not.
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.
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.
Cambridge Market Square
The tour finishes in Market Square with a last touch about this circle of less known people called spies.
Ending Point

Cambridge Tour Reviews
“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!

“Cambridge Tour with Manuel”
Manuel was a most excellent tour guide! He was knowledgeable, accommodating, informative and an excellent communicator. I would recommend him to anyone and look forward to returning to Cambridge with my husband and touring with Manuel again.
