Private Day Tour from London

Historic colleges, riverside punting and 800 years of history.

Cambridge is one of the world's most famous university cities, where centuries-old colleges line the peaceful River Cam. This private 8-hour day tour takes you from London to the heart of Cambridge in comfort, with plenty of time to explore its beautiful architecture, gardens and riverside at your own pace.

Your British Express Cars driver will collect you from your hotel or any address in Central London and take you north to Cambridge, about an hour and a half away. Begin on King's Parade, the city's most picturesque street, lined with historic buildings, shops and cafés. From here, step inside King's College Chapel, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with the world's largest fan-vaulted ceiling and stunning stained-glass windows. Continue to Trinity College, the largest of the Cambridge colleges and once home to Sir Isaac Newton, then on to St John's College, where the beautiful Bridge of Sighs crosses the river between its historic courts. Next, step aboard a traditional punt for a relaxing glide along the River Cam, passing the colleges and gardens from the water and drifting beneath the famous Mathematical Bridge at Queens' College. Finish in the lively Cambridge Market Square, surrounded by independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs, perfect for lunch or afternoon tea. At each stop, your driver will drop you close by so you can step out, explore and soak up the atmosphere. Then sit back and relax as we take you back to your hotel or on to your next destination.
