Meghna was an excellent tour guide. Her humorous and friendly demeanor made this tour excellent. She managed to show us all the main colleges while giving great backstory to each of them, and answered all our questions seamlessly. Having entry to the stunning King’s College was such a treat. Highly recommended!

This tour was exactly what it says on the package. Our guide Roweena, was a mind of history and local information. She signposted questions and further places to visit. Her knowledge of the university area was exceptional and her personality shone through. I would highly recommend this early on in your visit then you can decide where to go next from this. Thanks again 'get your guide' for another high quality experience with lots lots of photo moments.

This tour was so much fun. My partner and I both agree that without this type of tour we would never have learned as much as we did during the two hours. We particularly liked that our guide was studying at one of the colleges, which gave her first hand knowledge and experience. Thoroughly enjoyable and totally worth it.
