Nice tour to later be able to say "I’ve been there" - I chose this tour because I came to London for two concert and still wanted to explore something I hadn’t before as I‘ve been to London countless times. Since all of the other tours included places I’d already seen, exploring Cambridge and Oxford was perfect!
I knew that we wouldn’t have too much time at either of the two because of the distance from London. But this tour handles it quite well and flexibly! Our tour guide and our driver were extremely friendly and provided interesting facts, even though the long drives could’ve been used for providing even more information.
The bilinguality of the tour was convenient to take pictures while things were explained in the foreign language.

A DISASTER - We contract train travel from London to Oxford, in theory with the scenic bus in Oxford.
A few considerations with some aspects to improve (and a lot).
When we booked GOLDENTOURS services online, they sent us a confirmation email saying that in a later email, they would send us train tickets. And it wasn't. Turns out we had to pick them up at a physical office in London. In the digital age we're in, THAT'S A BACKLOG.
We went to a GOLDENTOURS office near our hotel in Paddington. And we were told that he couldn't get us the tickets there, that we had to go to Baker St. Louis. ANOTHER DELAY.
We went the day before, because that's how we went with more time in case there was a problem... and it did. Turns out they couldn't give us the tickets a day early, which we had to wait for the same day. INCOMPREHENSIBLE.
And when at last the next day we go and they provide us with a kind of ticket, it turns out that they did not include the on-off bus. It turns out that advertising on the web is misleading, because it says that the bus is included, but then you have to check two options, and one of them is with bus and the other without bus. Please make it clearer.
And finally, it should be clearly specified which train agency it is and where it comes from, since on the web it does not explain it well and since most trains leave Paddington, there we went... and it turns out that they left another station.
Please make your products clearer and easier for users.
Conclusion: What is the point of buying train tickets from this travel agency if you can do it directly on the train company website and download them directly? And on top of that they charged me more, I imagine for their “efficient” management.
In short, a disaster.

Disappointment - Let first start off by saying, what I am about to write, has no reflection on our tour guide or bus driver. They are only following Golden Tours guidelines. Both of these gentlemen where professioinal and knowledgeable. My husband and I both enjoyed hearing about the history of the two colleges.
I would not take this tour. You spend 70-75% of your time on the bus. The first place we went was Cambridge. What a beautiful college. Could have spent at least 5 hours walking around and looking and discovering the beauty of this small and quaint town. We had maybe 1hour and 30mins to look around and grab something to eat. Before we were back on the bus and headed to Oxford. Then we drove to Oxford. We had maybe 1 hour and 15 mins. I had 5mins to be able to use the restroom before we went inside the Christ Church College. Maybe walked around 20 mins before we headed back to the bus. Again, could have spent at least 5 hours wallking around and discovering the history and beauty of Oxford.
My recommendation, is take the train to either Cambridge or Oxford and spend the day at one place. Look around and take your time. You won't be disappointed.
