Tours of King’s College are part of our Private Guided Tours service and can be booked as a standalone tour of the college and chapel, or combined with a tour of some of the other Cambridge city-centre sights. A wonderful introduction to the city and an insight into the people who have lived, worked and studied here!
All our private tours are fully customisable and can focus on whatever you wish depending on the requirements of your group – choose the time and the meeting place, and have the itinerary tailored to your specific interests, age group and mobility.
We would recommend a 1-hour tour to fully explore King’s or book a 1.5 or 2-hour tour to include some of the other iconic sights of Cambridge’s historic city-centre.
Guides can take groups of up to 20 people into the college. If you would like a tour for a larger group we can supply several guides.
Please note the tour fee does not include the entrance fee to King’s College and Chapel.
