About

Enjoy a spy-filled walk around some of Cambridge's loveliest streets. Discover how the Tudor monarchs made the university their secret-service HQ, and how they exploited codes, ciphers and undercover agents in their determination to reveal plots. Learn how a famous Elizabethan dramatist was exposed as a spy by his college bar bill. And why did Churchill call the Cambridge code-breakers at Bletchley Park, "the geese that laid the golden eggs."? Then there's James Bond, Miss Moneypenny the Big Five, and much more... Private Tours may also be arranged in Spanish, Russian, French, German Cantonese, Mandarin or Putonghua.
