🎬 Tour Description

Imagine standing where medieval scholars risked all during rebellions, secretive playwrights plotted between ancient courtyards, and furious crowds once stormed the city for a single off-key note. Beneath Cambridge’s storied skyline, every stone holds a hidden scandal or triumph.

This immersive self-guided audio tour reveals the dramatic secrets and eccentricities of Cambridge you won’t find on a postcard—wander at your own pace through historic colleges, mysterious alleys, and legendary venues.

What desperate act nearly cost Corpus Christi its most precious treasures? Why did one college Master’s sneaky vote leave a shadow over Catz for generations? And just how wild can a corn market’s opening night get when tempers—and music—go spectacularly wrong?

Move from sunlit courtyards to bustling streets as the centuries unfold before your eyes. Trace echoes of protest, invention, intrigue, and reinvention as Cambridge’s true character emerges with every step.

Your adventure starts now. Uncover the secrets echoing beneath Cambridge’s timeless bricks.
