Traveler reviews
Too much for only one day
Driver and guide were okay. We run like crazy. Seven hours on the bus, only one hour in each University. Two universities in one day is to much. Peek a tour company that go to each university in one day tour.
Cambridge and Oxford
The drive is long but worth it! I also liked the order of starting with Cambridge and finishing with Oxford because Oxford is a bit more interesting. I think the guide could have shared more about the legendary former students. He told interesting stories but they were more about the architecture and Harry Potter than the amazing things the students of both universities have accomplished.
Bad experience
I could never do this excursion because it was suspended or Golfen Tour and I never knew it until today, I had to go on another tour that was not at all what I paid you, I expect some refund for this.
Delightful Day at Oxford & Cambridge
Eileen did a wonderful job of guiding us through the sites and providing in depth knowledge of the history and relevance of Oxford, Cambridge and British history in general. She has a great sense of humor which added to a thoroughly enjoyable day.
Tour was cancelled on a...
Tour was cancelled on a short notice. Company rebooked a “similar” tour going to what the guide described as an “amusement park” castle for kids. Bus is old, chargers do not work. WiFi doesn’t work. The guide was…meh. Got overcharged for the rebooking despite the price being significantly cheaper. Would not recommend.
