5.00Driver Chris and Guider Ana are all the best. We traveled from London to Cambridge and London just in one day. We book this tour at the morning 6 am and 8 am we started our journey. It’s so convenient. And one more little thing need to notice, when we book the tour at the website “Get your tickets” we choose the Chinese audio guide, but when we really find the team, we founded that they just have English and Spanish language audio, it doesn’t matter for me but my mother completely cannot understand English so this tour like exploring for her, I hope next time if we choose the Chinese audio guide on the payment page, and we can really get the Chinese audio service.
Two incredible cities, one amazing day!

5.00The day trip to Oxford and Cambridge was absolutely amazing! The tour was well organized, and our guide shared so many interesting facts and stories along the way. It was fascinating to walk through the historic colleges and see where so many famous people once studied. Both cities were beautiful in their own way. Highly recommended!
Fantastic, enjoyable, fun & well organized tour! Both Kevin & Dan are fantastic!!

5.00Today on the 12th of September we had an awesome experience of visiting Oxford and Cambridge with our guide Yun Bai. We are thankful to her for her very extensive knowledge of the objects either architectural, cultural or historical. We have already had few tours to Oxford before, so we didn't expect something extraordinary from today's visit. But what we have come to conclusion after the day's experience that afterall today's tour was the best of all so far. Thank you Yun Bai and thanks Evan Evans for this experience.
What a beautiful experience

5.00Our guide Anna was so knowledgeable about Cambridge, Oxford and even London. She took us in some places that was not part of the tour but so very nice. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and the time spent with us. Also the driver Habdi was really good in the humongous traffic of London during the metro strike. It will be a trip that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you again and hope to see you again
Excellent experience

2.00The day should have started earlier since we were forced to visit both sights very rapidly. Believed the English speakers were added to a group originally meant for Spanish speakers.
More bus than city

- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00I think trying to span two cities as distant as Oxford and Cambridge, you end up spending more time on the bus than actually enjoying each city. The time available in each location is too short. The Ana guide was inexperienced in handling large groups and also failed to convey the stories attractively, making it difficult to keep up. In addition, when taking the tour in English and Spanish, we ended up hearing the same information twice and in a hurry, instead of using that time to deliver more interesting facts or anecdotes that would make the experience more enriching. The bus driver and all the transport in general, was very good. Overall, it differs quite a lot from the level and quality of other tours I have taken in London.
