It never felt scripted or rushed, and the whole tour was really enjoyable. Would 100% recommend if you’re visiting Cambridge.”

Just be aware there is a lot of walking, some uphill or up stairs so anyone with mobility issues, just be ready. But you will be delighted to run around Bath (and you can fill up on baked goods after!)”
