Cambridge
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.

Detour
We originally booked a tour for Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Dover, but it was cancelled. Unfortunately the cancellation was lost in 500 emails and was a surprise when we arrived. Fortunately, our eventual Guide Peter was able to fit us into this tour to Cambridge and Oxford. We enjoyed the trip and Peter’s knowledge of history of both locations was a bonus.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re sorry that the cancellation came as a surprise, but we’re pleased Peter was able to help and make sure you could still enjoy a wonderful day exploring Oxford and Cambridge. It’s great to hear that his historical knowledge added to the experience. We hope to welcome you again on another tour!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Oxford and Cambridge with Guide from London by Coach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Discover Oxford and Cambridge with Guide from London by Coach cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Oxford and Cambridge with Guide from London by Coach take?
+
Plan for about 12.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Discover Oxford and Cambridge with Guide from London by Coach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 85 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Oxford and Cambridge with Guide from London by Coach?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Oxford and Cambridge with Guide from London by Coach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Oxford and Cambridge with Guide from London by Coach?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 12.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Oxford and Cambridge with Guide from London by Coach start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
