The Cambridge
Travel Guide
Bitten by the travel bug at a very young age has taken me to many incredible destinations. Moving from Cape Town to Cambridge in 2002 was a bit of shock to the system, but I fell in love with Cambridge very quickly. I love to go off the beaten track everywhere I visit, including my hometown Cambridge.
Welcome to the Cambridge Travel Guide!

so much to see & do
Stay longer
Situated only 45 minutes away from London by train, the pretty university city of Cambridge never fails to attract lots of visitors. Staying a day never feels enough because there is so much to see and do. Whether you are taking a leisurely punt down the River Cam, meandering over numerous commons to Grantchester or helping yourself to food, music and culture. Here are my favourite itineraries.

Plan your visit
The What’s On Agenda is the main feature of this website and likely to catch your attention. It includes various daily activities for you to take your pick. Take punting, a biking tour, wandering the streets of Cambridge drinking in the history on a historical tour, or wetting your palate with a food tour.

The best of Cambridge
Taking inspiration from her valued food tour guests, local food blogger and founder of Cambridge Food Tour, Gerla de Boer, decided to create the ultimate Cambridge Travel Guide. Though they were locals, they felt like strangers in their own home. Many had difficulty locating information on the goings-on in Cambridge and wished for a central hub to make it easier.
During the first lockdown, in 2020, Gerla answered their call and created the Cambridge Travel Guide, bringing all the activities Cambridge has to offer together on one centralised portal. You can find exciting independent businesses, pop up events, street food markets, special events and local restaurants. And that is not all. The Cambridge Travel Guide will keep you in the loop with vibrant festivals celebrating Cambridge’s rich cultural diversity, food and music.
Cambridge is a city for all seasons.
