Take an uber instead

Dale_B, Nov 2025

Only saw Oxford. Arrived there at 1pm and only had 3 hours to see the area before the sun went down. The drive between Oxford and Cambridge is 2+ hours so there’s a good chance you won’t even be seeing one of the locations with any daylight left. Take an uber to each of these locations and save your money instead. The driver also has no idea where he is going. He kept stopping at random locations to look at his GPS, and then after a couple rounds of this said “okay I will drop you off here”. He didn’t even know where “here” was because that location was still a 10 minute drive from the Oxford Campus. Very annoyed that I paid $700 for an incompetent driver to take us to only one of the two locations.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

The passengers were advised to schedule their pickup time early on the day so they could visit both locations. They chose 10:30, and although the driver arrived promptly, the passengers did not come out until 10:50, resulting in a 20-minute delay. The drive to Oxford from the pickup location takes approximately two hours, so they arrived in Oxford around 12:50. Sunset was at approximately 16:15, which is outside of our control. The driver was fully prepared to take them to Cambridge University as planned, but the passengers chose to spend the entire trip in Oxford instead. Had they arranged an earlier pickup time, they would have had sufficient time to visit both places as originally intended.

this is a ride only but...
