On this private socially-distanced guide, we'll visit the most iconic spots of the city such as Trinity College, King’s College, and Great St Mary's Church. Walkthrough the architectural highlights and follow the footsteps of the famous alumni Prince Charles, Sir Isaac Newton, C.S. Lewis, John Harvard, and Stephen Hawking.
