The trip was the highlight of our vacation in Brighton - We enjoyed the trip so much last year that we returned this year. Both times we had Gerry the tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and made the trip really enjoyable. Windsor and Oxford are both worth visiting with their amazing history and architecture.

Great day out! - We had a great day visiting Windsor, Eton and Oxford. Our tour guide Gerry was very well prepared and walked us through the most important places. He also gave us ideas what to visit in our free time. Even being in a big group, it was easy to understand all he explained. We also had excellent weather and managed to see students on their graduation ceremony day in Oxford.
