Overview

Join a local historian as we uncover the history of Cambridge and its most famous residents! Our first audio tour will give you an introduction to Cambridge, where you'll learn what it's really like to study at the University of Cambridge as well as the history behind its most famous alumni.

The next tour will guide you along the scenic routes of the Backs, where you'll be able to get a picturesque view of Kings and Queens College, and the Mathematical Bridge.

The Cambridge Instagram tour will show you the best creative travel shot locations for photography and Instagrammable sights, whilst also guiding you via the key attractions of the city.

Our final tour will allow you to uncover the extraordinary inventions that have been born out of this beautiful university town, as well as get more insight into Cambridge's rich graduation ceremony.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Top10Adventures® wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Top10Adventures® over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
