Introduction:

Hello. I am Manuel, live in Cambridge since 1993 and am a Green Badge qualified Tourist Guide of the city since 2016.

I provide walking tours of the city in Spanish or in English which are flexible to your time requirements and interests. These tours can include a visit to one of the colleges of Cambridge University. I am authorised to guide inside the world-famous King's College Chapel. If a group is too large I can call upon guiding colleagues who can assist me so that I can divide the group.

Here are some testimonials:

"Manuel did an "after hours" tour of Cambridge for a group of colleagues in my profession who had come to Cambridge for a training course which I organised. He was very accomodating to us regarding the route we followed and the content he shared with us. All my colleagues said how much they enjoyed the tour and we were left with the promise of a different tour next time we come to Cambridge. I thoroughly endorse Manuel Serrano as a reliable, amusing and knowledgeable tour guide of Cambridge" (Z M, Cambridge).

"The tour through Cambridge with Manuel was very exciting and informative. I liked the fact that Manuel spoke calmly about Cambridge. He is an absolute connoisseur of this wonderful city. He finds history and stories on every corner. As a language student, I understood his clear pronunciation very well.That made the experience a highlight.Thank you for the great time Manuel. (U W., Switzerland)"

"I highly recommend Manuel as a tour guide in Cambridge. He makes the tour of Cambridge very interesting, full of facts and interesting stories that you will not read about in ordinary books. He makes the talk very interesting for both adults and children too! In addition, if you are a foreigner like myself, Manuel as a tour guide is a very good choice. If there is a need he use simple English and he is very skilled to explain and describe the things in case you do not understand some words. He is very patient and he makes sure the answer to your questions. I moved to Cambridge in 2004. And us being busy with work, duties, family life… there was never time to really know what Cambridge is about. That one tour with Manuel took me to the roots of Cambridge and made me even more festinated about this city. All my family really enjoyed the Cambridge tour guided by Manuel. ( E D, Poland)

Thank you Manuel for such an enlightening tour of Cambridge – really enjoyed this beautiful city. There is so much history to learn which really did ‘come alive’ being interesting as well as entertaining. Definitely recommend you and visit again and book for another tour to a different area of the city. A complete professional service from initial booking enquiry, where to meet for the start of the tour. Even when it rained and shelter taken there was still a story to be told! After the tour we took your recommendation to do further exploring of Great St Mary’s and visit the Fitzwilliam Museum – once again thank you very much. ( L G, Burton-on-Trent)

In the past three years I have been offering three specialist tours (Cambridge Spies; Royals and Rulers; The Cambridge years of C S Lewis) that capture unique and interesting aspects of the city's past and present.

I look forward to welcoming you to Cambridge and ensure you have a delightful guided visit.

Hola, soy Manuel, guía turístico profesional de Cambridge desde el año 2016 cuando obtuve la cualificación "Green Badge" para guiar específicamente en esta famosa ciudad universitaria. Además, vivo en Cambridge desde hace más de treinta años.

Mis tours son visitas a pie en el centro histórico de la ciudad que a menudo incluyen entrar a uno de los colleges de la Universidad de Cambridge. Como guía cualificado tengo acceso a varios colleges y estoy autorizado a guiar dentro de ellos, entre los que destaca el King's College con su mundialmente famosa Capilla. También tengo un equipo de colegas para cuando hay que atender un grupo grande.

A continuación unos testimonios de visitantes que han hecho tours conmigo:

"Recientemente, a finales de noviembre, tuvimos el privilegio de hacer un recorrido por algunos colleges y lugares icónicos de la Universidad de Cambridge guiados por Manuel Serrano. Lo único que nos resta decir es que fue un excelente recorrido y que, a pesar del frio, mantuvo el interés y atención por lo ameno y por el conocimiento de cada lugar visitado. Este es el segundo recorrido que hago con él y ambos han sido excelentes y con temática diferente cada uno. Si desean conocer y sentir la esencia de los colleges de la Universidad de Cambridge, contacten a Manuel. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. (L C, México)"

"Muy recomendable el tour con Manuel, las horas pasaron volando, hemos conocido rincones de Cambridge y historia de la ciudad, los niños han estado muy contentos, lo recomendamos 100%. (A K, España)"

"Fue un tour excelente – muy interesante, mucha información e historias increíbles. ¡Muchas gracias Manuel! (M D, Cambridge)"

"Hace una semana atrás, visitamos con el colegio de Argentina, la interesante y pintoresca ciudad de Cambridge, de la mano de Manuel y su equipo de Guias. Fue una experiencia única, que nos permitió conocer en profundidad su historia, sus secretos y su día a día. Muchisimas gracias! Ojala podamos volver pronto! -- (A G., Argentina)"

Desde hace tres años he ampliado mi repertorio con tres tours nuevos: 'Cambridge: nido de espías durante 5 siglos'; 'Reyes y Líderes'; 'Los años de C S Lewis en Cambridge', que describen aspectos insólitos y distintivos del pasado y presente de Cambridge.
