Fabulous tour! - Excellent tour! Our Guide was exceptional. She was a walking encyclopaedia and had a great sense of humour and the driver was also great.
Started with Cambridge in the morning and then went to Oxford.
This was the third time I had been to Oxford (with different tour companies), yet, I had learnt so many new things and were able to explore other parts of Oxford I had not previously seen.
This is the only tour I have done that included visiting some buildings inside, which I absolutely loved. I particularly enjoyed visiting
Christ Church College. .
At Cambridge, we visited:
- Corpus Christi College
- Kings’ College
- Kings’ College Cathedral
We were so lucky that we were in Cambridge on graduation day.
Unlike other tours, this one did not feel rushed
I absolutely loved this tour and I hope to be able to go back with my husband. I highly recommend it.

Great tour, great guide and Driver - Two beautiful cities with so much history. Our guid and driver were knowledgeable and friendly. We all loved it. If you are planning on entering any of the colleges you should book with tour, they sold out early.

Long but great day trip - Danxia (tour guide) and Eduart (driver) were great team.
Felt safe and in capable hands.
Very knowledgeable and informative guide that goes the extra mile to warn about pickpockets and after tour journeys and restaurants.

The tour did not meet our expectations - We signed up for English language tour and got Spanish speaking guide who had to repeat everything in Spanish for a handful of Spanish tourists on our bus. As a result, walking tour of Oxford took twice as long, left us very little time to see Christ Church College. In Cambridge we were left to explore on our own without any narrative. The guide only pointed out the way to the toilets and return to the tour bus.

Would think twice about booking with them… - I booked a tour for me and my family for Oxford and Cambridge from London. It was booked in English (and not in our native language - Spanish) because we hoped we would get a more knowledgeable, local guide who would be easy to understand for my parents to practice their British ear. However, we got a Chinese guide who was extremely hard to understand (even for me, a native speaker). Adding to this, we had to sit through every explanation in Mandarin which we don’t understand nor had any interest in hearing. And finally, the large group and lack of audio devices made following the walking bit very difficult. I’d recommend you check out other companies for your day trips from London.
