London Rock Music Tour
Tour / Activity
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: Myself and my partner did the morning tour this time as we had done the afternoon tour before. Would highly recommend these tours if you are a music lover. Guides always friendly and if you are interested in any particular group/person tell them and they will make sure to point stuff out. Had an american guide first time and a northern english man this time, both friendly, informative and enthusiastic! Only draw back on our tour was that there were three Brazilians, one with pigeon english who kept loudly trying to translate and in general they were rude and loud making it hard to hear the guide. In fairness the guide would have let us do the tour again the next morning to make up for it but we had other plans!

Cambridge and Oxford Historic Colleges of Britain Day Trip
Tour / Activity
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: Good tour if you wish to get an overview of the two cities. However, as other reviews stated, very rushed. No time at all basically to explore yourself. In Oxford we were given 20 minutes to look around and meet back at a point, one man was literally 1 minute late and the guide was having a fit! I think the tour bus should have given a better run around the cities to give you a good orientation and concept of size. I think if you are staying in London for a few days you would be better to take public transport to one of the cities and do a hop on hop off tour, it would be beter value for money and you would see more of the cities. The short time we did have in the cities included visiting a Church and a Dining Hall, to be honest these were fee paying attractions and if I had visited the cities on my own i probably would have bothered paying to go into these. Also, the price of the ticket included the entrance fees to these attractions but we were extremely rushed!
