We took a private walking tour for two of Cambridge with Oxbridge Tours. Our postgrad student guide was excellent. He was punctual and took time at the beginning of the tour to ask what we wanted us to see. He took us to parts of his own college which were not generally open to the public and gave us a... More

We booked a tour of Oxford with Oxbridge Tours. Our guide, Daniel, was there early. He was knowledgable and entertaining in equal measure. We saw places that we would never have set foot in without him, and learnt so much about the university and the town. Highly recommended. More

The company went the extra mile for us finding a student guide who was able to answer the questions of an aspiring Oxbridge undergraduate. Our guide was was eloquent and highly informative both in terms of the history of Cambridge and student life. Moreover he was a really friendly chap - a great ambassador for the university. More

My daughter and I had never been to Cambridge before, so didn't know one end of the town from another. Our guide Donald was waiting promptly for us at the Corpus clock and since we'd got lost trying to find it (!), he gave us the extra time on the end to make up, which I thought was really good...

My group of friends and I often get together in Cambridge to catch up, normally with a little outing planned; they have punt tours, Shakespeare performances in the college gardens, lots to choose from – and we almost always end up with an extended stop in one of the lovely pubs there. Oxbridge tours were fantastic!! It was actually my... More

I booked for October half term as I had seen the tour company reviewed in the Telegraph. Like one of the other reviewers, we had to wait for the tour guide - about 20-30 minutes, but when she did turn up we had a fabulous time - just like most of the comments on here. I would recommend them &... More

I booked this tour for a group of U.S. university students. They loved the fact that the tours were led by current students. They made an effort to connect to the topics we were studying and gave a great sense what it's like to be a student at Cambridge. They also coordinated a punt ride (boat ride on the Cam... More

I booked a punting trip via Oxbridge Tours because I had read good reviews. Unfortunately my experience was different. My boyfriend and I not only had to wait 35 minutes under the Corpus Clock for our guide, I had to telephone a total of four times to even get in contact with him!!! When someone finally picked up the telephone... More

I visited Cambridge with my teenage son and we were both extremely impressed with our guide, Gerald. All of the guides are Cambridge students so not only do they know about Cambridge, but their knowledge of Cambridge University life is brilliant. And after all, what do you visit Cambridge for if not to find out about the University. Plus, the... More
