“This is the worst day tour that I have had so far, the service was so poor, the driver also as tour guide just introduced a little bit about the tour, the rest of the time just broadcast music, it was all self guided tour with a map in Oxford, and they overcharged me nearly $200 Australian dollars and refused to refund me. Plus the car was so old and dirty, will never book this company again. Very bad luck.”
