Case Study: Stephen Perse Foundation Junior School

Bringing Cambridge to Life Through Stories and Laughter

This summer, pupils from the Stephen Perse Foundation Junior School took part in a Terrible Tour of Cambridge as part of their holiday programme. The brief was simple: deliver a school trip that was educational, engaging, and above all, fun.

Our guides took the pupils on a journey through the city’s cobbled streets, blending history, humour, and just the right amount of creepiness to keep young minds curious. From ghostly tales to quirky facts about the colleges, the children were encouraged to explore, ask questions, and see their city from a brand new perspective.

The result? A group of smiling, engaged pupils who went home with memorable stories, a deeper knowledge of Cambridge, and plenty of laughs along the way. Teachers noted how well the experience balanced learning with entertainment, with activities tailored to the age group.

“Full of fun, facts, and just the right amount of laughs – Terrible Tours was the perfect way to kick off our holidays.”
