Awesome getaway!

Wow, this day trip is a must if you have enough time and you’ve visited most of London. It was perfectly organized, with plenty of free time. I loved the view from the Tower of Saint Mary the Great and the awesome art at Fitzwilliam Museum. I didn’t manage to do a Punting tour, but now I have an additional reason to visit Cambridge once again. I wasn’t sure what to expect on this tour, but I was pleasantly surprised!
