Lovely trip - This trip was lovely. We had a lot of fun and the guide in Cambridge was great. Cambridge is such a beautiful city, we will definitely be back.

Excellent tour - Tony Rodgers lead our tour. He was very good. He covered the usual things about the colleges but what we liked best were the walks down the back roads. He showed us where major scientific discovers were made (eg. DNA) and historical sites like the Eagles Pub. We would go with him again!

Nice tour of a beautiful city - The bus trip was very comfortable and safe. The guide in Cambridge was very helpful, polite, friendly and informative. I just wish there was some more time to enjoy the attractions of the city, like the river tour, which I didn't have time to take.

Cambridge Daytrip - It was a well-organized trip to Cambridge, but there was confusion about where to be picked up by the coach. In the E-Mail from Anderson we where told to wait at bus station „S“ and there was mi bus. Additionally there was no possibility to get anyone on the phone (I tried two numbers). Finally we found the bus at another bus stop „R“...

Too Many Tourists - The tour delivered as advertised, but Cambridge itself was overcrowded with tourists. The driver transported us to and from Cambridge in a timely manner (yes, we did leave late because there were 5 no-shows and 1 passenger delayed on the tube). Two local guides met bus upon arrival, and the group split in two for a 1-hour walking tour. Our guide, Tony, had an engaging sense of humor. Afterwards, we had 4 hours to spend touring on our own before returning to the bus, which was about 3 hours too much.

Cambridge Tour - This tour started with a delay of 15 minutes because 3 persons did not show. They were at another starting point which was wrong. Our driver was nice and friendly but did not give the LIVE Commentary promised going or returning. We therefore lost time with our guide and another 15 minutes when someone required the washroom. This tour was under my expectations.

Felt like a rehearsal tour - The tour didn’t start well when we had to wait for 10mins for two passengers to turn up. Then a rest stop was made with a highly challenging 5min allowance and unsurprisingly a number of people were late coming back. Then the driver, apparently on his first drive to Cambridge couldn’t find the guide upon arrival and we had to drive around to attempt to locate him By the time we got to the guide, he promptly announced that he would try his best to cover the tour but we were late ! To round it up, for some reason the driver couldn’t land the drop off at the end of trip and we had to circle back so more driving around This should have been a very simple trip but felt disorganised and the Cambridge experience quite compromised as a result . Cambridge was very crowded with many tours and there were a lot of shops and restaurants . It’s interesting to see the King’s College but probably not top of list to check off if you are pressed for time

Good guided walking by guide - There are a few pick up points so making it convenient if u r staying near 1 of them. The bus comes and leaves on time. The guide shows us around the town including a visit into 1 of the college. The bad thing is there is only 1 drop off point on the return leg.

Ruinous Day Tour of Cambridge - Meeting point at Victoria was not defined clearly, after last minutes change in pickup point change my Anderson Tour from London Bridge, and 1 hour earlier, than originally planed, causing the tour chaotic time for my family. Company phone attendant was rude and uncaring about way findings at Victoria Station pickup point after recommended tube ride. It’s on the West side of a Apollo Music Theater and across the street away without any signage nor prior directions. Telephone attendant at the tour company gave me the address of meeting point, which leads to Victoria Station in front of the tube, not on the west side of Apollo music theater. Driver was not friendly and a bit arrogant.
