2.Oxford and Cambridge Universities Guided Day Trip from London

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 218 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $122

Spend about 11 hours visiting Oxford and Cambridge from London by air-conditioned coach. Walk Oxford’s old lanes, enter Christ Church, see Cambridge’s Corpus Clock and Mathematical Bridge, and visit King’s College Chapel when open. Guides such as Apple, Cedric, Dan, and Regina have earned praise for clear history and helpful directions.

“Our tour was bilingual, English and Spanish, this was not known when booking. This made things more difficult, it took twice as long to do anything. We only had one tour guide with 43 people, half Spanish speaking and half English speaking. We missed out on a lot, was only given 20 min at Oxford because we ran out of time, we had to beg for more time. This was poorly planned and I feel very cheated out of a good tour. I blame the tour company for not having two tour guides for a such a large group and also being a bilingual tour. Would not recommend.”

“The tour was absolutely amazing, literally the best decision we made for our trip to London. If you spend some time in London it’s a must have to visit the nearby cities Oxford and Cambridge. Our bus driver Natasha was fantastic, we never felt so safe while driving in a tour bus with strangers. We were able to rest comfortably between between exploring the cities. Our guide Kirsten showed us around in both cities before we had some time for ourselves. She knew all about both cities and could answer all our questions. We also received lot's of tips for our own exploration. All in all it was a great…”
