Lies, Spies and Double-Dealing: A Cambridge Spy Tour

Sun 1 January 2023

Great St Mary's Church\

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.

Cost: £20 per person
