The trip was really well organized and once in Cambridge, our guide was friendly and ready to answer any questions we had. Definitely a great way to spend a Sunday!

The tour basically consists of taking you to Cambridge from London. There is a time for a guided tour, but it is very short, they do not have time to explain much

The meeting point is easy to locate, outside London Bridge tube station, across the road from the bus stop. The trip was not difficult. The driver very friendly. We left ten minutes late because there (Read More) were two people missing. The driver made a call and since there were no signs of life we left. Once in Cambridge we were greeted by a guide who gave us an explanation of very interesting aspects of the university. The explanation was in English but it was understood very well. There was the option of going up to the Tower of Santa María la Grande at the end of the visit. We decided to visit King's College on our own. The ticket did not come with the excursion. We bought it there. If you are a university student you have a discount. The guide gave us a lot of information about free Colleges as well. Around 4:00 p.m. we had to return to the point where the bus had left us. Cambridge is beautiful, different from other universities. It is well worth visiting.

The guide does not walk, but runs from one place to another, for 2 hours. Then he stands up and tells a lot of information. The passenger who is young, fast and athletic can follow, but older people l (Read More)ike me find ourselves left out during that part of the activity.

The driver is not a guide. He just sends us to a pick up point at Cambridge, where we meet our guide. But the guide tour lasts just 90 min and we need to get around Cambridge for the rest of the tour. (Read More) Very disappointed!

Nice little trip to Cambridge. The driver was a lovely fellow and our local guide Tony was a delight. Loved his funny and interesting stories about the history of old Cambridge.
