Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Oxford, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England

Follow in the footsteps of Oxford's famous students, from C.S. Lewis to Bill Clinton, as you stroll the captivating college courtyards and cobbled lanes of this historic university town. Take in the famous 'dreaming spires' and see the Bodleian Library – one of the oldest libraries in Europe – on your visit. You'll be captivated by the unspoilt narrow alleys and ancient squares of this naturally beautiful town.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Cambridge, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England

Senate House
Once you’ve left Oxford, you’ll make your way to the beautiful city of Cambridge. It’s here that you will visit Senate House at the world-famous University of Cambridge. Before used by the Council of the Senate for important meetings, it is now the chosen location for students’ degree ceremonies. You’ll get to explore this special location and discover its important history before venturing onto the Corpus Clock!

Corpus Clock
Visit the Corpus Clock, a unique invention outside the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University. Revealed to the world by Stephen Hawking, it is made from a 24-carat gold-plated stainless steel disc and has no numbers to tell the time. Instead, it shows the time through lights that shine through individual slits. This unmissable innovation will stay in your mind long after you’ve left!

Eileen was a fabulous guide. Her knowledge was incredible and she made sure that everyone on the tour had an optimal experience to suit their own expectations. The day was structured so that there was a perfect balance of formal guided tour and free time to explore both Cambridge and Oxford. People had the option to stay with Eileen for the whole day and hear all sorts of facts and anecdotes; or to stay for the essential guided tour and branch off for self discovery, meeting back at the bus at a scheduled time. It was a brilliant day and full but not overwhelming. Kieran was a skilled driver who navigated the traffic so well that we got extra time to explore Cambridge - the bus drive was smooth, comfortable and enjoyable!

I went with family on 2nd April to Oxford and Cambridge with Golden Tours. The driver was Mr. Malcolm and the guide was Ms. Danxia. This is one of the most well- organised tours that I have gone on. The time keeping by staff was perfect, there was no delay from start to finish. The bus is in very good condition, with heating, well- maintained and clean, with charging ports at every seat, and the audio by the guide was very clear. We were very thoughtfully provided with garbage bags as well! There is a toilet for emergencies. Malcolm is a very careful and professional driver, we were taken very safely to and fro, but punctual, and we had enough time to visit both places comfortably. Danxia is the star of the tour! An extremely professional lady, friendly, and who goes the extra mile to help us with any query. She is very knowledgeable, and told us about the history of both places in depth. She was very clear with instructions regarding timings of the tour, when we will arrive at the destination, how to find our way back to the meeting point, and where to find lunch and toilets! At the end of the tour, she was kind enough to walk down to each party and ask them about the tour and give guidance to their queries. Danxia, thank you for your great smile always! Highly recommend this touring company!

Our guide was VERY knowledgeable and interesting when we were on the bus and could hear him.....this trip is inherently flawed. By that I mean this--the guide, the tour is under the pressure of time. It was difficult, if not impossible, for the guide to herd the tourist together. He walked too fast. Also, he spoke so softly that it was not easy to hear him as he lectured on this site, that site. In short, the trip was hurried from start to finish. BUT I do not know how to improve the experience given the constraint of time as well as the mobility of the tourist group.
