Overview

Travel from London to Cambridge, a city with a rich academic heritage and home to one of the world’s most renowned universities, with the company of a private professional driver. Founded in 1209, the University of Cambridge has been a beacon of learning for over 800 years. This full day trip from London offers a glimpse into its historic colleges and architecture. Visit Trinity College Library, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, home to priceless works like Newton's Principia Mathematica.

On your self-guided walk, take in Cambridge’s role in shaping modern science, philosophy, and literature. Admire King's College Chapel with its late Gothic style and the world’s largest fan vault.
