Best tour ever - Today on the 12th of September we had an awesome experience of visiting Oxford and Cambridge with our guide Yun Bai. We are thankful to her for her very extensive knowledge of the objects either architectural, cultural or historical. We have already had few tours to Oxford before, so we didn't expect something extraordinary from today's visit. But what we have come to conclusion after the day's experience that afterall today's tour was the best of all so far. Thank you Yun Bai and thanks Evan Evans for this experience.

What a beautiful experience - Our guide Anna was so knowledgeable about Cambridge, Oxford and even London. She took us in some places that was not part of the tour but so very nice. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and the time spent with us. Also the driver Habdi was really good in the humongous traffic of London during the metro strike. It will be a trip that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you again and hope to see you again

Oxford and Cambridge - Had Ana as our guide and Billy as our bus driver; trip was enjoyable and insightful. Ana has extensive knowledge on both Oxford and Cambridge as well as London. Wish there was more time to tour each site, but it was still fun. Ride to and from were also smooth and comfy.

Oxford and cambride - Thank you for Anna and our drivers. Tour was nice. See Cambridge and oxford in same day is nice. But 5-6 hours will spend in the way because oxford is 2 hour far away from Cambridge.

More bus than city - I think trying to span two cities as distant as Oxford and Cambridge, you end up spending more time on the bus than actually enjoying each city. The time available in each location is too short. The Ana guide was inexperienced in handling large groups and also failed to convey the stories attractively, making it difficult to keep up. In addition, when taking the tour in English and Spanish, we ended up hearing the same information twice and in a hurry, instead of using that time to deliver more interesting facts or anecdotes that would make the experience more enriching. The bus driver and all the transport in general, was very good. Overall, it differs quite a lot from the level and quality of other tours I have taken in London.

The day should have... - The day should have started earlier since we were forced to visit both sights very rapidly. Believed the English speakers were added to a group originally meant for Spanish speakers.
