Private - Combined Cambridge University Walking & Punting Tour Led By University Alumni – 20 September 2025 We arranged this tour for important family guests who spoke Hindi/Punjabi and it was an outstanding experience throughout. Sam G, our main contact, was extremely professional, responsive and organised, promptly securing a suitable guide and ensuring everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. Sarim, our Hindi/Punjabi guide, was highly knowledgeable, courteous and engaging. He made the tour accessible and enjoyable for those less fluent in English and the tour landed exactly as intended thanks to his excellent interpersonal skills. Both Sam and Sarim were also very accommodating to our unexpected needs on the day, which made a real difference. Having tried other companies before for visiting family, Alumni Tours was by far the best. We’ll certainly return when more relatives or friends come to Cambridge. Thank you both!

It’s an excellent tour with professional guide and punter. What a journey full of history stories, beautiful buildings and culture beauty!
Guide Stephen was great!! Former student knew all kinds of insider info and experiences. Also 11a start was not as busy as later in day. Came up from London by train in morning.
Very informative and fun. Tour guide, Evelyn, was great and very entertaining. She went above and beyond with lots of local tips and a deep knowledge of the area. Punting was fun and Guy, the punter did a great job of touring us and sharing the landmarks along the Cam.
We had a fantastic experience on this tour. Stephen Beale a wonderful your man shared his knowledge and experience as a Cambridge Alumni. He knew so much about each college and was shown great affection wherever we went The tour took about 2 hours but passed n a flash. Then on we went to join out Punting tour Conor was an absolute delight and again knew everything we needed to fill the gaps left by the walking tour. The river showed the colleges off to different perspective and was so relaxing after walking in the heat for 2 hours Conor had a relaxed style and navigated the river superbly bypassing the novice boaters with great skill
Alumni tours definitely picked the right guide for this tour because our guide Rupert happens to have studied history at St John's College. He was very patient, even towards the end when his work was supposed to end after taking us into King's College chapel. As he walked us through the streets, he pointed out interesting stories behind each college and tried to lift our spirits under moderately heavy rain on the day. Punting company were quite accommodating to the times of the punt as well but their communication with the touring company could be better managed.
Meghan was outstanding and informative. Our punter was great too! So thankful for their knowledge! We would definitely recommend.
What a great way to tour Cambridge than with a PHD students who supports his education giving tour. Tons of very interesting information about Cambridge and the different schools while walking around town. We tour our tour on graduation day, so we got to see tons of students all dressed up and their proud families. The pinting tour was also excellent and a great way to complement our visit before lunch at a special restaurant to celebrate one of our kids’ birthday 🥳🥳
Our Cambridge alumni guide, Lindsay, was exceptionally knowledgeable and gave us a friendly and informative private tour across Cambridge. Her detailed explanation on all the facets of student life also helped my daughter receive a an excellent introduction to her Summer Camp.
