What is a Green Badge Guide?

Green badge qualified guides are the only guides in Cambridge allowed to guide inside King’s and many of the other collages.

Where do they start?

• All the tours, with the exception of Town with a bit of Gown, start and finish outside the tourist office near the market on Peas Hill - see map. If you use What3Words, this is the exact location: ///turns.nearly.earth

• Town with a bit of Gown starts in the carpark at Castle Hill ( See map) and ends outside Great St Mary’s Church in the centre of town. Again, for What3Word users, the exact location is: ///goes.zebra.rising

What time do they start?

• I guide between 9 an 7 - you can choose an available slot from the booking form. I will aim to be at the start point at least 10 minutes before.

• For the Darwin In Cambridge Tour, we have to start before 11am, if we want to visit Christ's Collage, as it closes to visitors at 12.

How many people do you take?

• The maximum number is 10 people?

What should I bring?

• All the tours are outdoors – so dress for the weather!

Are they wheelchair friendly?

• All the tours, apart from Town with a Bit of Gown are 100% wheelchair friendly. The start of the Town with a bit of gown tour has a walk to the top of the old castle mound. Here we have two options. Skip that visit, or pitch in with a bit of muscle power and we can get a chair up there!

Are they kid friendly?

• Definitely – I can tweak the tour to the audience without dumbing down!

Can you speak any language other than English?

• Sadly, I can’t. However, I may be able to arrange a qualified guide who can speak in French, German, Spanish or Mandarin.

Are you uninsured?

• Yes, as a qualified Green Badge Guide, I am insured through the Institute of Tourist Guides.
