You'll drift past the Bridge of Sighs, King's College Chapel and the Mathematical Bridge while the guide points out the college buildings and their history. Umbrellas and woollen blankets are provided; hot water bottles are included in winter.

Either way, the 45-minute duration fits easily into a morning or afternoon without dominating your day in Cambridge.
