Cambridge is small, beautiful and full of history. Medieval colleges back onto the River Cam, chapels rise above perfect lawns, and some of the world's greatest scientists and writers studied in the buildings you walk past. Whether you are a first-time visitor, bringing the family or looking at universities with a teenager, a private chauffeur lets you see it at your own pace without worrying about trains or parking.
Why Visit Cambridge With a Private Chauffeur?
Cambridge is about an hour to an hour and a half from central London by car, straight up the M11. Once there, most of the sights are close together, but parking in the centre is very limited. Arriving by chauffeur means you are dropped in the middle of town, relaxed, with no car park to find.
Your chauffeur collects you in London, drives you to Cambridge and waits while you explore the colleges, go punting and visit the museums. When you are ready, you are driven home. No parking, no train times, no hurry.
King's College and King's College Chapel
King's College was founded by Henry VI in 1441. Its chapel, finished in the early 1500s, is one of the finest late Gothic buildings in England. The fan-vaulted ceiling is the largest in the world, and the 16th-century stained glass is breathtaking. Even people who are not interested in architecture tend to stop and stare.
The lawn behind the college, part of the famous Backs, gives the classic Cambridge view: punts drifting past the chapel's great buttresses. Your sightseeing chauffeur will drop you close to the college and wait while you explore.
The Backs and Punting on the Cam
The Backs are the lawns and gardens behind the colleges that run down to the river. Seen from the water, the backs of King's, Clare, Trinity, St John's and Queens', with their bridges and gardens, make one of the loveliest views in England at any time of year.
Punting is the classic Cambridge experience. You glide along the shallow river in a flat-bottomed boat, under the Mathematical Bridge at Queens' and the Bridge of Sighs at St John's, past weeping willows on the banks. Tours leave regularly from the punt stations, and your chauffeur will drop you at the start and pick you up at the end.
Trinity College and the Wren Library
Trinity is the largest of the Cambridge colleges. Henry VIII founded it in 1546, and its former students include Isaac Newton, Lord Byron and Alfred Tennyson, along with more than 30 Nobel Prize winners. Its Great Court is one of the largest enclosed courts in Europe, and the Wren Library, designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1695, holds original manuscripts by Newton and Milton among many other treasures.
Trinity is one of the most rewarding colleges to visit, and your chauffeur will make sure you have plenty of time for both the Great Court and the library.
The Fitzwilliam Museum
The Fitzwilliam is one of the oldest public museums in Britain and one of the best university museums in the world. It was founded in 1816 and holds Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities, illuminated manuscripts, coins, armour and a superb collection of paintings from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
Entry is free, and it is often quieter than the colleges, which makes it one of the most underrated stops in the city. Your hourly chauffeur can drop you on Trumpington Street right outside and wait as long as you like.
Cambridge Market and Independent Shops
Cambridge is just as good for shopping and eating as it is for history. There has been a market on Market Square for around a thousand years, and it still trades every day, with fresh food, street food, books, clothes and crafts. Nearby you will find Heffers, one of the city's best-known bookshops, G&D's for famous homemade ice cream, and plenty of independent cafés, restaurants and boutiques.
Your chauffeur can drop you at Market Square and wait close by while you shop, eat and browse.
