Hassle-free, fun day-trip from Brighton. - This day trip from Brighton was perfectly timed, informative, and fun. We had enough time in both Greenwich and Cambridge to see the highlights. Optional punting was a great way to finish up.
Our guide, Gerry, was knowledgeable, helpful, and super-flexible. Great experience on a very nice bus that was much easier than navigating public transport.

Beautiful places and amazing guide - Cambridge and Greenwich are very beautiful places. Our guide Laura was amazing. She explained us all about the history of the places that we have visited, it was very interesting. It means she has really good knowledge. She took very good care of everyone. I asked her about the other nice places in UK, she could immediately recommend me and gave me more information, that was very helpful. Thank you so much Laura. You are amazing!

Greenwich and Cambridge Don’t Disappoint - Departing from Brighton in a comfortable coach was an easy start to the day. Greenwich was a wonderful to see and learn so important world history. I did venture off and do two tours (extra cost) visiting the Royal Observatory to actually stand on the meridian line and see historic time pieces. I also stopped by the Painted Hall which I highly recommend. I didn’t feel overly rushed. Next onto Cambridge. What a Harry Potter like area. I added two excursions here as well and recommend both: Punting on the Cam River and visited Kings College Chapel. Wonderful day only improved by our tour guide Gerry who was super knowledgeable and friendly.
