Reviews
We loved it! Our guide was very knowledgeable as well as being easy to listen to. She gave interesting stories and context, as well as great facts, kept us entertained and informed the whole way. It was great being in the smaller bus because it felt more personal. There was just enough time at each stop, we loved going through Shakespeare's birthplace and Anne Hathaway's cottage again as it had been 22 years. Plenty of info about Oxford, the University and the surrounding area. I'd highly recommend this team!
Tour guide lady was excellent. She had so many stories to tell about places we visited or passed by, she was informative, funny and entertaining. I did not feel rushed at all and thoroughly enjoyed the visits to Shakespeare's birthplace and Anne Hathaway's home for both of which you have to pay an extra 16 GBP. The van was comfortable and the tour was paced well. Would recommend highly.
