Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you want to learn all about Cambridge, it’s rich history and famous alumna with fun facts thrown in too then Dick Matthews is perfect! 5 mums on a weekend break spent almost 2 hours walking, talking and learning from Dicks vast knowledge. He’s a very interesting man and our wander round Cambridge was fantastic. We would highly recommend him!

I have just experienced the most amazing walking tour of Cambridge with tour guide Lizzie.
Having lived in this area for a number of years I figured that I had a fairly good grasp of local history, architecture and culture. But how wrong was I!
Lizzie’s tour was not only insightful and incredibly interesting but she delivered it in a relaxed, conversational style. The result being I wanted the tour to continue all day! I thoroughly recommend a walking tour of Cambridge with Lizzie.

Wonderful tour of Cambridge this week with the lovely eloquent and knowledgeable Lizzie. I have actually in lived in Cambridge for quite some time but saw parts again with new eyes when accompanied by Lizzie's historical background and quirky nuggets of information. So many little things pointed out that made the tour so interesting.Highly recommended. Thank you Lizzie!

Amazing tour of Cambridge including the colleges that make up the University. Engaging guide who is really knowledgeable and prepared with stories & pictures. Felt like we were n the set of Harry Potter and even saw a Rubens!

Our guide, Dick Matthews, was amazing. He met us after we arrived by train and took us to several colleges and other spots around the town. He shared so much history with us, answered all our questions and tailored the tour towards what we wanted to see. It was a lovely afternoon and highly recommend exploring Cambridge with Dick.

Jo gave us an excellent tour of both the city of Cambridge and the university. We went to visit some of the colleges and she told us very interesting facts about Cambridge. I highly recommend booking a walking tour with them!

This was a great tour. It started before we even got there, as we emailed with Jo about what we'd like to do and see. She always responded promptly and with great detail.
She met us at our hotel (on time). We opted for a four hour tour as we had a lot we wanted to see. Jo made sure we saw everything we had on our list and provided excellent and extremely informative commentary along the way. Couldn't believe how fast the time went.
Jo can tailor the tour to your interests as well as the time you want to spend. This is one of the best tours we've done. If you want a tour of Cambridge, you should write Jo and start planning.

Fabulous tour with Jo. Highly organised and easy to book in advance. On the day she managed to keep our family including two teenagers and a 75 year old actively engaged and interested! She was incredibly flexible with our needs, was fascinating and passionate, passing on so much information on Cambridge, we learnt a lot and Jo patiently answered all our questions. Would highly recommend, really bought the city to life for us and we all learnt a lot. Lovely to have a private tour to take at our own pace and be tailored to our own interests.
