Great experience - The commentary was interesting and informative. Would definitely recommend this to others. Cambridge is a fantastic city full of history, beautiful buildings.

Great way to see Cambridge - Visiting King's College and the Round church. I have limited mobility so it was a great opportunity to see more of the city without any problem.

Relaxed and easy - An easy way to see Cambridge and decide where to explore further. Booking with Viator was very straightforward - I would recommend.

Seeing tge Cambridge sights - I enjoyed going around the mix of Cambridge center and then out to the American cemetery. The bus ran to time and driver was very helpful. However the bus itself was very rattly and together with the poor surface of the roads made for a bumpy ride. The headphone system did not seem to work but the commentary was relayed over the load speaker - too loud but might still have been difficult to hear if a noisy crowd on board.

Good tour marred by poor directions - The bus trip itself was great - very informative and we saw a lot of the city. Unfortunately, the organisation was terrible. We waited at the Silver Street stop for ages in the rain but the bus never came. There was nothing at the bus stop or on Viator or the bus company's site to warn you about this. Eventually we went to another stop and caught the bus. NB. despite what it says here, the friendly driver confirmed that you can always get on at *any* of the stops anyway, not just Silver Street.

it was just an on and off bus...with a lot less personality than say the one in London, Paris or even New York. - This was a typical open top get on get off bus...starting point the railway station. Once you leave the station there are a couple dozen stops where you can get off and do a little exploring then get back on it you've seen them all. I was disappointed as a recording tells you what you're seeing pretty much as you speed on by. I had hoped to go into the Cambridge University "village" and explore a bit but we went nowhere near any campus facilities. If I had to do it again, I'd wait til I got there then book a university guide for a much better experience.

Bus no show - We booked for New Year’s Day in Cambridge. You took our money but the bus didn’t run. We waited in the rain at the redemption stop no 1 for 35 mins. Sign says they run every 20 mins. We saw no buses. A full refund would be appreciated

No WiFi so paid tickets unavailable, driver not helpful - So disappointed. My hub and and I - both seniors/ first time in Cambridge. Had fully paid tickets on iPhone but no WiFi service so couldn’t access. Driver not only unsympathetic, but unhelpful in every way. We repaid to take trip. Cambridge is small but it’s still terrific to see from bus on first day (after traveling from USA). Just a shame this driver soured our first glimpse of this nice town.
