You walk around the outside of the castle and get free time; in Oxford you also see the outside of things. The Ashmolean Museum is free and worth it; Oxford interior tours all sold out before we got there. Windsor Castle tour longer than we had there. Good view from along river, but not as complete an experience as visiting Cambridge and Greenwich.
Our guide was very informative, however most of the day was spent on a bus. Only exterior views and information of the buildings were included resulting in a good bit of walking. I unfortunately overlooked the description of this tour that stated interiors were not included.
Another tour with the same fun guide Laura, it was nice to see difference with cambridge as both have famous old universitys. Oxford is so much bigger, the tour was longer and interesting. There is more to do in free time, I could not decide so I went to the market the guide showed us to go to for shopping and food, a cool place, and enjoyed walking by the university buildings after. Windsor is nice but I would have liked more time in oxford and want to go back for longer, I like it so much. We saw guards in windsor so I was lucky as the guide said it is not every day so find out before going . Thank you again Laura and for being kind with advise on places to visit.
Really great day out with discovery tours! Oxford was beautiful but not the weather! Will definitely go back.
It was nice and informative trip. Discovery travels guide Mr. Gerry was supportive and very helpful.
Would definitely do it again! Truly grateful to Gerry and Peter for the tour. They are the best! I highly recommend this tour.
a nice trip. everything went as per plan. windsor and cambridge are beautiful. A very good experience with Viator.
It was great. Laura is an excellent guide. I'd say the best. It also gives background information and very helpful. I am very happy to have made your acquaintance and hope to be able to make great trips with Laura as a guide in the near future.
My visit to Oxford, Windsor, and Eton was really amazing. Laura, the guide, made it even better with her knowledge about the places and she gave good recommendations for free time activities. I totally recommend this tour.
I really loved the tour! It was so interesting know more about the history, and the architecture was amazing! The guide is lovely! I wanna go again!
