Excellent tour...well worth it if you admire unique architecture - Oxford and Cambridge day tour (18/10/2025) with Anderson Tours.
Our tour guide Sam went the extra mile to ensure everyone understood instructions, prior to letting us explore on our own. We were also given physical maps of the cities for quick reference during our exploration.Sam also provided a whatsapp number to some foreigners in the tour group, just in case they got lost.Have enjoyed his tour commentary. Also many thanks to the smart lady driver Charla whose driving skills were commendable throughout the tour journey.
Had loved the unique architectural styles of the buildings at Oxford and Cambridge, and the layout of the cities. The stairs at the towers were narrow to climb, but the views from the towers gave a quick snapshot of the major landmarks,and will recommend taking binoculars for a magnified view.My parents saw some places over video call with me, and they were delighted ! They want to visit in person the next time they visit UK. Highly recommended if you like neo-classical architecture.

Wonderful tour of Cambridge and Oxford - We took a wonderful all day Bus Tour of Cambridge and Oxford. Our guide, Peter Rabbit and driver Armando made this a special day for me and my wife. Peter, who is spectacularly multi-lingual maintained a completely understandable and fascinating historical background on all that we would be seeing…all the while seamlessly going back and forth in bothe English and Spanish. Anyway, I highly recommend this tour, though after you take it, you will want to go back for a multi day tour of these places, as there is way too much to see in only a single day.

Loved it! - Our guide, Sam, was very knowledgeable about Oxford and Cambridge. We had some vehicle issues in Oxford that shortened our time in Cambridge, but made the most of our time! Both towns had many beautiful buildings!!

Quick overview of Oxford and Cambridge tour - Left London at 8:30am and back around 7pm. The stay in each town is very short but Nick did a very good job in trying to explain everything to us.
