Excellent tour. Excellent from every point of view. Sponge is engaging and fun and can deliver a deep historical insight into the city while also keeping entertaining with legends and anecdotes. Definitely worth 2 hours of walking even in the chilly weather of today. 100% recommended.

Great tour by Sponge. We have done 15 Guru tours across Europe and his was amongst the best. Really well integrated talk spanning the various sites and ages. Insightful background thoughts on the various colleges, churches and building we passed. He is a Cambridge based archaeologist but his talk spanned history, arts, science and religion in a well balanced way. One of our group lived in Cambridge and almost everything we discussed was new to her.... Thoroughly recommend....
