Good choice for family - Pablo and Eddie are very professional. The tour is good for first time visitors who want an overview of both towns and the universities. I went with my mother and she enjoyed a lot as it gave balanced time for walking around and resting.

Oxford and Cambridge - We had a good day to Oxford and Cambridge with Regina and Stephen. It was a tight-schedule tour, but Regina handled it well. We were able to get a sense of both universities and good knowledge about them.

Oxford Cambridge - Special thanks to Regina and Stephen to make this tour memorable. Providing more time would have been helpful for shopping and having food, otherwise the tour is faultless. A must for everyone travelling to London.

2 different worlds on colleges, Cambridge and Oxford - It was perfectly organizing by the time, even more stricly then we were expected. Regina is a very knowlegible tour guide. We didnt expect that tour was bilingual by design, but surpsingly went well.

Review of the Oxford and Cambridge tour - So on Thursday May 9, I went on this tour and it was a lot of fun. I loved learning about the history of Cambridge and Oxford and the tour guide Pablo’s excitement really elevated the trip for me. He was always excited to talk about the history of the universities, and the architecture as well. Even the pop culture phenomenon both schools have such as JK Rowling’s fascination with Oxford that she kind of based Hogwarts after it. It was beautiful trip and I would highly recommend going.

Oxford & Cambridge.....too much in one day. - Oxford and Cambridge were both very very crowded, so much so it was hard to walk around. Both are beautiful settings, just way too crowded. I thought we would get some time in the museums at each place but it was just too busy a day....this should be more clear on the website. For those wanting to see inside the museums Oxford and Cambridge would need to be done on separate days. Our tour guide was polite and friendly when he was interacting with guests, but during the long drives he sat up front by the driver making friendly conversation. Since we were up front as well we could easily hear him....using the word F..K several times. We did not appreciate foul language. Also we were on our own for a time to see Christ Church. Getting back to the bus after this involved walking several blocks and directions were not as clear as they should have been. I asked several people (including a local police officer) how to get to the major landmark the guide told us to look for (a statue of 3 monks). None of them knew where it was, so we almost missed the bus. Need better directions/landmarks. Some signs in the town would be helpful. The stress of the crowds and nearly getting lost & missing the bus ruined the day.

Everything was in a big hurry - The guide Pablo is great but the tour was in a big hurry. It would be more corectly to name the activity King's College in Cambridge and Christ Church College in Oxford. We hardly had time to see Cambridge or Oxford ( less than an hour).

Disappointing would not recommend - Disappointing We are Australians booked on an English speaking tour and didn’t know there would be Mandarin spoken as well There seemed to be more Mandarin than English and subsequently less information was imparted.We felt that we were add ons to a Chinese bus tour. It was a very rushed trip. It was a large group and we could not hear what the guide was saying outside the bus Her microphone was not sufficient. And she didn’t wait for everyone to be there before speaking. We did enjoy looking at the chapel in Cambridge. We also enjoyed the audio tour in the Christchurch College I had a dodgy seat but the driver fixed this half way into the trip.
