We had never visited Cambridge before so the hop o hop off bus gave us an excellent overview of the city. We would recommend an early hop on for the whole tour, then repeat and hop off for a more detailed look and add a walking tour. Easy to book, clean efficient bus, helpful , courteous and knowledgeable drivers with amazing driving skills around narrow streets.

Our driver was excellent and gave us extra facts as we went along. Maybe turn the volume up when the road is particularly bumpy as it becomes hard to hear the commentary.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around Cambridge. The commentary was very informative without being too much. Would recommend and take similar tours in other cities

Very pleasant walk with good explanations. The place is beautiful and we had a great time!

Went to the botanical gardens.and the American War Cemetery.
