Johnie was brilliant and so knowledgeable. He catered for all, looking at our expressions if he felt it not suitable to continue the event. I would thoroughly recommend the tour and would request Johnie.

Very knowledgable but thought she came across as a bit boring showed no emotion when telling story and lacked a bit of excitment
Response from Host , Apr 2022
It seems that someone has started posting fake negative reviews on our page. Fortunately, the wealth of positive reviews show the true picture. We are fortunate to work with some of the best guides in Cambridge. They are certainly not boring or lacking in emotion. It is a great pity when TripdAvisor is misused in this way. Chris Skilton.
Highly recommend!

Jonny was lovely and really easy to listen to. His facts and stories were interesting. Lots of stops but for a short amount of time, which we prefer. Me & my partner think it would be great if we were given a leaflet at the end of the tour, to summarise everything that had been spoken about as it's hard to remember it all!

Excellent tour with Johnny, lots of interesting facts about a variety of topics that you wouldn’t get from your own research or tourist tips. Thoroughly recommend.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Hello! Many thanks for going to the trouble of posting a review. We really do appreciate it. I am so glad that you enjoyed Jonny's tour. He is a genuine local character and a very popular guide. I'll make sure he sees your kind words. thank you again for booking with us. Best wishes, Chris Skilton

Tony was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and humorous. The tour was well-paced and very informative. A delightful way to spend 2 hours and learn about this beautiful city.
Great tour of Cambridge

By Tony’s own admission, he claims to be the worst tour guide in Cambridge, if not the world. However this was far from true. We spent a couple of hours with Tony and had a wonderful, informative, amusing and amazing tour around the colleges. Would highly recommended. Thanks Tony for a great morning
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it 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. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
