What you'll do

1. 1

   We think that Cambridge University Botanic Gardens is one of the hidden delights of Cambridge, and we look forward to sharing this amazing garden with you. Founded by the visionary John Stevens Hensley, the mentor of Charles Darwin, this beautiful botanic garden is quite simply Cambridge's most charming collection of fauna and flora. Lying just a short walk away from Cambridge train station, the Botanic Gardens are beautiful no matter what time of the year we visit and contain hidden delights such as the famous 'Brick Tree', which your guide will show you as you wander through one of the most peaceful places that Cambridge has to offer. Should you be a keen gardener and want to spend a little bit of extra time here, your guide will be happy to amend your itinerary accordingly on the day.

   The Fitzwilliam Museum is a beautiful collection of antiquities, paintings, sculptures, and everything in between. And in 1816, through a generous gift from a previous student of Cambridge University. The Fitzwilliam Museum has something for everyone. Whilst at the Fitzwilliam Museum, your guide will show you some of their impressive collection. Sadly don't have time to see everything, but your guide will do the best they can to show you the part of the collection that you have a personal interest in. Your guide will also tell you about one of the most unfortunate incidents at the Fitzwilliam Museum which involved a staircase, a falling visitor, and half a million pounds worth of the Fitzwilliam's collection, which had to be restored! Unfortunately, as the Fitzwilliam Museum is closed on Mondays, tours taking place on Mondays will be unable to visit this location. Monday tours will use the extra time to explore more of the Botanic Gardens.
