Unforgettable Tour of Oxbridge Universities

Well organised and punctual! Abz was our driver, who was patient and capable, getting us there safely and back. Wei, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of witty anecdotal stories. We followed her yellow umbrella like ducklings as she led us on a tour of the Oxbridge universities. Thoroughly enjoyed!
