I can’t recommend this tour , as it leaves too little time in the cities . Roadwork and the long trip between Cambridge and Oxford ( 3 1/2 hours ) meant that we almost missed our tour through Christchurch and there was almost no time for a guided tour through Oxford . Running to get to the college , we lost the tour guide ( we had to stop at a red traffic light - the roads were busy) and then could not find the guide . We used Google maps to find the college entry - but the group was at another entry -( luckily one group member sent us the information ).. in Cambridge we could not visit the chapel in the kibg‘ s college ( we had been advised of this in the morning ) - but the tour guide had not received the information that no tickets for the college had been booked , so we waisted a lot of time waiting in front of the college entrance to get that sorted . Altogether I would have loved to get more information about college life today ( and not only a few historic tidbits . As the tour guide had to conduct the tour in two languages ( English and mandarin ) this further reduced the time for information.
