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.

This is a whistlestop tour of the city. 25 minutes goes by so quickly - but you’re paying for the unique experience and great service from the driver . It’s a nice thing to do for elderly folks as it’s a private hire and doesn’t go above 15mph . Probably wouldn’t be too pleasant in the rain as there aren’t windows on the vehicle!

Thank you for your review.
We are sad to see though that we didn't quite make 5 stars from you. 😞
Our 25 minute city tour is very popular and probably the most comprehensive (and cheapest) private chauffeured vehicle tour of the city.
If 25 minutes isn't enough, we do also offer a longer 50 minute tour which includes everything that is in our city tour, as well as a trip to the tranquil village of Grantchester.
Both of our tours state how long they take on our website, so customers can chose which one they would prefer to book.
As Cambridge City Centre is a 20mph zone, our vehicles speed is set to 18mph for pedestrian and cyclist safety. This was also one of our licensing conditions set by our local authority when we started trading and by travelling at this speed, it also helps our customers to take in the sights and not miss anything we show them.
With regards to if it rains, although our vehicles are of an open sided nature for vehicle era authenticity, they are also fitted with rain curtains.
All curtains on our vehicles are transparent and can also be zipped closed to prevent any rain from coming inside the vehicle as and when they are needed (you can see them rolled up in the picture you posted).
We are glad you liked the unique experience and award winning service provided by Lee your driver.
Thank you once again for your review.

We had a fabulous tour of Cambridge and the surrounding area in a unique Model-T coach. Our guide was quite knowledgeable and shared little-known facts about the colleges and the city. We highly recommend Cambridge Vintage Tours for a fun-filled, informative experience!

What a great way to spend 50minutes soaking up all the local knowledge the tour guide had to offer. Could not recommend highly enough. The architecture of Cambridge and the periodic design of the model T replica complement each other spot on it’s almost like a step back in time. It’s not only for adults kids would love it to, especially the horn…. You’ll understand once your buckled in for the tour.

A really enjoyable way to view Cambridge and learn about the City's history. Lee was very professional and knowledgeable. The vehicle was pristine (and electric powered) and great fun to travel in, we all thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Thank you!

As a couple who currently live in Cambridge we are always looking for something to do with visiting family and friends. Four of us went on the extended Grantchester Tour on a rainy Friday afternoon and it was fantastic. It was a great opportunity to see the sites and learn about the city in the comfort of a dry vehicle. Lee was extremely knowledgable and the tour was organised so professionally. We learned an incredible amount about the city and had some great views and photo opportunities. The car was amazing and we loved the ride. Very comfortable and great fun. We would definitely recommend and will be touring again in the future.

On a visit back to my home town I came across this new and novel way to see the beautiful city of Cambridge.
Not only was it enjoyable and fun passing through the streets in this head-turner of a vehicle, which really does put a smile on peoples’ faces, the commentary from the driver was fascinating and we'll informed with lots of unusual facts thrown in too.
This electric car is also of course environmentally friendly, you’ll love the cute little horn used to warn people the the car is coming because it is of course so quiet.
There was good protection from the elements and we were able to stay surprisingly warm for the middle of winter.
The add-on trip to Grantchester was a good touch too.
I look forward to taking another trip soon, on a warm summer’s day when the city is in full bloom.
Great value for money.

What an excellent tour this was, Lee was amazing with his local knowledge and also the car itself was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour! I booked it on the day and thought we may not get a slot but thet were very accommodating and professional throughout the booking process. If you visit Cambridge you must go for this tour, very reasonable priced and gives you a great insight into the history of Cambridge. Thanks Lee to you and the team, all the best!

What can I say but what a wonderful experience this was. Lee was smart, professional and gave amazing commentary during the trip, pointing out landmarks and sites you could easily miss.
The trip was over too soon so tempted to do the extended version out to Grantchester next as a treat.
‘Huxley’ was a character in its own right and eco friendly too, we just loved it.
Good luck for the future Lee, so book up people you will leave as we did with a smile on your face.

We thoroughly enjoyed our ride in the comfortable, quiet, smooth, clean Model T Ford. The guide was extremely informative and we learnt lots of new things about Cambridge. The whole process from booking (and us changing booking) to punctual pick up was easy. I recommend this tour for any age, as long as climbing up one step is not a problem.

What a fab surprise organised for me by my friend ... couldn't believe it when Lee turned up in the Model T Ford. Felt like royalty on the private tour of Cambridge as people waved as we went by and Lee's commentary and knowledge of the city was brilliant. Thanks for the great experience and a fab alternative to the traditional punts x

How accessible are the cars? Is there anyway to get someone on who has mobility issues?

Hello,
The front passenger seat of our vehicles has a larger door opening, and we have had many customers that have mobility issues that have been able to get in and back out of the vehicle o.k.
Obviously every individual is different but to date we have never had a problem.
