'To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax -
Of cabbages - and kings - '
The Walrus & The Carpenter ~ Lewis Carroll
Our 45 minute College Backs Tour offers the ideal introduction to Cambridge’s long and eventful history. Discover how the city has evolved from medieval market town to world-class centre for education whilst enjoying spectacular views from the river.
No one showcases Cambridge like us. Each season we select and train a group of guides who have a passion for history and a talent for sharing it with our customers. From the gothic splendour of King’s College Chapel to the classical elegance of the Wren Library, your guide will ensure that you don’t miss a thing.
We are open each day from 9.00 until dusk throughout the year, conditions permitting. Our guides are at your service come rain or shine, so why not pay us a visit to experience Cambridge’s most popular tour? We run regular public tours (in shared punts) and these can be joined on a walk-up basis, but should you wish to have your own punt, we also offer a private tour booking service. Please see below for further details on both options.
Scheduled public tours run daily, leaving our Mill Lane and Magdalene Bridge sites every 15-20 minutes. Buy tickets on-station or plan ahead and save money with an E-Ticket. Alternatively, add another activity to your river tour with one of our great value Combi E-Tickets and make the most of your day in Cambridge!
