Our Reviews

Rosemary was super friendly, and supremely knowledgeable about Cambridge. We covered a ton of ground in 2.5 hrs but never felt rushed, and learned SO much more than if we'd tried to do it ourselves. Additionally, she was helpful leading up to the tour with restaurant suggestions for lunch and after with drop points, ideas for follow up, and return home info. If you want to enjoy Cambridge and learn something, we'd highly recommend spending a few hours with Rosemary!

Rosemary clearly loves and knows Cambridge. It is largely due to her that I was able to understand all the wonderful history and working of the colleges. I would never have seen some of the sights that were my favourite as a science teacher. Furthermore, she was wonderful with my 92-year-old father. I am so glad she showed us around Cambridge. Her stories and information truly made it come alive for me. I recommend her wholeheartedly without reservation.

Maureen J.

Rosemary was fabulous as our guide to Cambridge on June 24. She took the effort to get us into Pembrook College as well extremely knowledgable on Cambridge history. We would recommend her, and we would use her again. Thank you Rosemary.

Ellen N.

The Tour of Cambridge by Rosemary was just fantastic. Knowledgeable, fun, accommodating and everything in between. Couldn't have been any better. We would recommend Rosemary in a heartbeat. This is the second Locals tour we have done now …. Cambridge sand Liverpool and both fantastic and way above expectations. Thanks a lot. Helen Kerr

Helen K.

This tour was outstanding and I strongly recommend it. Our guide, Rosemary, spoke fluently and in detail about the various historical highlights of the colleges and sites we visited. She was particularly interesting in describing their many famous graduates over the years, with amusing anecdotes of their foibles and eccentricities, and she also stressed that the majority of colleges owed their foundation to past English kings and wealthy philanthropists.

Oliver S

Rosemary was a delight. She knew her Cambridge Colleges & the tour was at a quick pace. We saw beautiful architecture & heard great stories. I would recommend her tour as a good introduction to the university. A great day out from London.
