I am a member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding and have been working as a guide in Cambridge for seven years. I really love showing visitors around this beautiful, historic city with its University buildings, student traditions and wide open spaces. There is always something going on which makes it such an exciting place to visit! When not working, I enjoy exploring the museums and markets of Cambridge, playing tennis and badminton, and travelling abroad. I am looking forward to meeting you and providing you with an interesting, informative and fun-filled tour of Cambridge! Have a look at my suggested tours or, if you prefer, I would be very happy to customize a tour specially for you.

I retell the history of Cambridge through stories. Stories of some well-known (Isaac Newton), some not (John Harington) men and women who have influenced many fields of human activity, be it education, politics, sport, science, art, religion, etc. I do walking tours in Spanish (my native language) and also in English. I am allowed to guide inside several colleges of Cambridge University.
