Excellent bus service and commentary very clear and informative. Over the years have taken tour with different people why are you now leaving out commentary on Hobsons conduit and phrase Hobsons choice. Also I recall there uses to be mention of where they split the atom. Not a criticism just think two interesting things should be put back. Great for all ages. American cemetery everyone should get off and visit.

The driver of our bus must be congradulated for his customercare and politeness, we caught the bus close to the mathmatical bridge around noon on the run to Madingley road 9th April, we did not have a QR code on the paperwork, but the driver said no problem and photographed our document, then issued tickets for the day, he whent above and beyond to make sure we traveled on his bus, so please agreat thank you to your driver. we enjoyed the cicular trip gave us a good grounding to find the places of interest, but not a good platform for photography, so difficult in a city like Cambridge, but still enjoyed the journey.
