That this historical place is nice goes without saying. But the people working there are really dedicated and friendly. Did not like the raimn that spoiled some of the pleasure.

The history linked with Trinity College is awe inspiring. One of the most memorable experiences in Cambridge was sitting in the Chapel listening to the Trinity Choir.

Amazing architecture and quadrangle. The list of alumni is extensive perhaps the most famous of all the Cambridge College's well worth a visit.

Love this place, where even the Security People are very nice and helpful. Love the Chapel, love the garden and envy those who can be there every day :) Entry is free of charge.

Brilliant. These guys give the best poling on the river. Excellent drivers, informed commentaries, warm blankets, narrow, authentic punts, as opposed to the fatter broader travesties. Enjoy a more personal and didactic river trip from just behind Trinity College. The richest college but provides one of the most authentic and erudite punt experiences. This reviews have to make fifty words... More

The King's college is the most famous in Cambridge but I found the Trinity one the most peculiar and interesting. Not to be missed.

the grounds and the chapel are wonderful.....standing next to the statutes of Isaac Newton and other famous scientists and knowing they had walked and studied in these buildings was a great thrill for myself, a scientist.........

If you have any interest in history or science, then you can't skip this college while visiting Cambridge. There definitely are nicer colleges, but Trinity has got impressive people and history.

the chapel is well worth a visit, could only get as far as the first quad, so could not see much beyond the chapel
