06 Dec 2025 – Cambridge

Trip Details

Experience a traditional Punt on the River Cam - Take in the beautiful views of some of Cambridge University’s most famous buildings, and the beautiful spaces in and around them, from the unique perspective the River Cam provides. Your tour guide will chauffeur you along the mile-long section of river known as the College Backs.

 

Following the River Cam punting experience, we explore the rich and diverse history of Cambridge with a unique walking tour that offers a fresh perspective on the city’s history, moving beyond the typical narratives to explore the complex stories of race, gender, class, and disability.  Raising thought-provoking questions about the lasting legacies of the British Empire and its impact on the academic university, while highlighting marginalised stories. Led by knowledgeable university researchers, the tour brings to light the hidden histories and untold stories of Cambridge. NB walking tour does not include entry into any colleges.
