Private Cambridge tour from London by chauffeur

8 hours Up to 7 guests from £625 per vehicle

The tour

Cambridge

Cambridge is compact, green and best seen from the water. A chauffeured day gives you King's College and the Backs in the morning, a punt in the afternoon if you would like one, and none of the parking problems that make the city difficult to visit by car.

Why this tour

  • The Backs, the chapel and the market square are all within walking distance of one drop-off.
  • Punting can be arranged in advance rather than queued for on the day.
  • A comfortable option for open days, interviews and graduation weekends.

Key stops

  • King's College and King's Parade
  • The Backs along the River Cam
  • Trinity and St John's College frontages
  • Mathematical Bridge
  • Market Square and the Fitzwilliam Museum
