Manuel Serrano Guiding visitors since 2016
I am a Cambridge-based guide with official Green Badge qualification and professional membership in the Institute of Tourist Guiding and the British Guild of Tourist Guides.
I specialise in private walking tours for visitors who want Cambridge explained clearly, with context and great storytelling.
I do tours in Spanish (native language) and English.
Large groups supported by multiple qualified colleagues.
Other languages available via qualified colleagues: French, German, Italian, Dutch, Chinese.
WHY DO A TOUR WITH A QUALIFIED GUIDE?
Cambridge colleges are living academic communities -not museums- and access can change with exams, services and college events. A qualified Green Badge guide is trained to plan responsibly, manage groups safely and deliver accurate and engaging interpretation.
Training and assessment: knowledge, presentation skills, group management and safety
Professional code of conduct and commitment to keeping knowledge up to date
Better planning for college visits when available (rules and opening times vary)
VISITING A COLLEGE WITH A QUALIFIED GUIDE
The University and colleges value trained Green Badge guides because Cambridge is a sensitive environment: narrow streets, private institutions, and world-famous sites that require respectful group behaviour.
A Green Badge guide of Cambridge acts as an ambassador for the city:
balancing visitors' experience with the needs of the colleges and the local community.
