Go for this tour - The guide Laura Correa was an excellent tour guide explaining everything with detail and giving plenty of interesting information about landmarks both in Greenwich and in Cambridge. She gave our group some recommendations about food and lovely places to go in our free time. Top-notch.

Great chance to see other cities without a car or many trains - Saw lots of great sites, with a good combination of guided walking tour and free time to explore the cities. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly and managed the bus load of different people from different countries. Driver did a great job on the long drives; definitely a full day almost 12 hours long!

Wonderful trip - It was a truly wonderful trip. Jerry was an absolutely brilliant guide — full of good humour and incredibly easy and pleasant to talk to. The places my friends and I visited were simply breathtaking. We also had a fantastic driver who made the journey even more enjoyable. I’m especially grateful to the customer support team for their quick and friendly help when we couldn’t find the bus in the morning. Thank you so much for making this day so special

A very pleasant day. - I did three tours with Discovery tours, all with the same guide, Laura, and this was my favorite tour. I booked the tour to see Cambridge and the University, but I was surprised by Greenwich, it is a very beautiful and interesting place. Laura speaks Spanish and this was useful as Cambridge and Oxford universities are very complicated to understand and she took the time to explain them to me. I paid extra to do the puntin experience, which was unforgettable. It would have been ideal to spend more time in Greenwich as it is full of places to visit, but I had a great experience.

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.

Lack of control - Very big group. The tour guide was struggling to maintain control. Time lost waiting for people arriving late and counting every time that we returned to the bus. After all delays... return to Brighton was also very late
