Free walking tours in Cambridge

Jing’s walking tour was the highlight of my trip. Her background in anthropology makes her commentary extra rich — she explains not just what you’re seeing, but why it matters. From architectural gems to student dining rituals, it felt like we got an insider’s look into Cambridge life. She’s friendly, well-prepared, and open to questions. Perfect for students, families, and solo travelers alike.

The tour with Eve was excellent, she guided us through the street of Cambridge with great info and beautiful view. We benefited from her student discount to enter Kings College chapel and, as it was a private tour with just my husband and I, she even invited us to enjoy our lunch at the student catering of her college, making that day a truly unique experience! Thank you Eve!

Really enjoyed the tour, Eve was very kind, clear, and passionate. Highly recommend! 🌟

I joined Jing’s tour as a visiting master’s student. Her insights into Cambridge life were relatable and authentic. You can feel that she really loves what she does. I’d gladly join again with other friends visiting!!

Great tour :) she told us stories and fun facts about Cambridge and all the smart people who have achieved greatness there. Recommend

I had a wonderful experience on the Cambridge guided tour! The guide was not only knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and traditions of the colleges, but also brought the stories to life with humor and enthusiasm. I learned so many fascinating details I would never have discovered on my own. The pace was comfortable, the explanations were clear, and the whole tour felt both educational and inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the true spirit of Cambridge.

I joined this tour with zero expectations but ended up totally impressed. Eve is not a professional tour guide in the traditional sense — she’s a real Cambridge PhD student sharing stories from the inside. I loved the mix of history, fun facts, and her own experiences.

Highly recommend Eve’s walking tour! She’s clearly passionate about education, history, and storytelling. I especially appreciated her explaining both Western and Chinese connections — like the story of Jin Yong at St John’s!

Amazing walk! I had read about Cambridge before, but hearing Eve’s stories in person — especially about her own PhD journey — was really inspiring. Support independent guides like her!

The walk was thoughtful and incredibly well put together. Eve knows her stuff—but even more than that, you can tell she truly cares and answers my questions clearly. She had spent time carefully designing the route and choosing stories that beautifully linked East and West, past and present.

Eve is a super friendly and knowledgeable guide! As a Cambridge PhD student herself, she gave us a unique insider perspective. I especially loved the stories about Newton and Xu Zhimo — highly recommended for anyone curious about Cambridge life and legends!

I’ve lived in the UK for years but had never seen Cambridge like this before! Eve’s tour was full of fascinating stories, from Newton’s apple tree to the mischievous traditions of Trinity students. A great balance of history, humour, and hidden gems. Highly recommended.

Eve is very informative. Very enjoyable tour!

It was a great experience in terms of tour with Jing. Do sign up!

I really enjoyed the walk with Jing (Eve) and had a pleasant afternoon while walking the tour with her. She has great knowledge about the History of Cambridge and brought interesting pictures of the inside of relevant buildings for example the kings college chapel. She also gave helpful advice about how to spend the evening in Cambridge and had knowledge about ongoing events in the city. Thanks again for the nice tour :)

Very interesting, informative, friendly and warm

The tour was super beneficial, definitely worth going on instead of roaming in knowingly !

I was really pleased to have Bel as my guide during my visit to Cambridge in the last week of June. My friend and I were the only attendees for the tour and to have had a private tour was awesome. Not only was Bel funny but she provided us with interesting facts about the university and its surroundings. Totally recommend you guys to contact her for a tour!
