The hotel is located on the right-hand side when you exit Cambridge train station. It's about a 30-minute train ride to STN Airport. Walking to King's College takes approximately 30 minutes, or about 10 minutes by bus for 3 pounds.

I highly recommend punting on the River Cam! You just show your ticket and can board right on time. The wind, sunshine, and sky made for a truly wonderful experience.

I was the only Chinese tourist that day, so I enjoyed a 1-on-1 guided tour. The guide explained everything in great detail and patiently answered all my questions, which helped me learn a lot more about Cambridge. It was a wonderful experience.

Both Cambridge and Oxford was lovely, located 2 hours drive away (by coach) from London. Our guide was Dan and she's very clear and informative. Coach was comfortable. I personally prefer Cambridge over Oxford due to lesser crowds. Limited time given to explore each places. Overall this day tour was enjoyable

Easy to use, app is simple and provides good info on train routes etc. A bit pricey at first, but you if you don’t have definite plans and prebooked train tickets months before, will recommend getting this to avoid variable prices.

After payment, you will receive a voucher via email. Follow the URL in the voucher to activate it, and select your desired travel date during activation (note that it cannot be modified once activated). Once the date is confirmed, you will receive a PDF file for each date along with a QR code ticket that can be imported into your Apple or Google Wallet. During actual use, the QR code may sometimes fail to scan successfully at the ticket gates; if this happens, you can ask the gate attendant for assistance. On the train, ticket inspections are quite frequent (the QR code will be scanned by the conductor).

What to know before visiting Cambridge

Cambridge at a glance

Cambridge is a compact city with a steady rhythm of visitors peaking in mid-winter and quiet periods at the end of the year. Tours are the leading category on Klook, and bookings show a clear high-season pulse through the July–September window.

When to visit and what to expect on price

Klook booking data shows demand peaks in July and is lowest in December. Prices on Klook drift modestly through the late summer and autumn months, then rise toward spring before hitting the highest typical levels in May; the cheapest month on Klook is typically November. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in November or the quieter winter months around December; if you want the peak-season atmosphere and the busiest touring options, aim for July–September. Note that demand and price don’t move in perfect lockstep here: the busiest months around July also have relatively low median prices in Klook’s monthly series, while the priciest period appears later in May.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia tend to book activities about 11 days ahead on Klook, so you can be reasonably flexible but it helps to plan before busy months. For peak travel in July, lock in popular tours earlier (for example within the typical early-booking window) to secure options; if you’re after bargains and fewer people, target November and book a little closer to travel. Use Klook to compare tours and secure bookings ahead of time for peace of mind.
