Typical routes
Edinburgh, St Andrews, Durham, Cambridge and Oxford in one week is common for families comparing options. These five span Scotland to southern England, and a car is considerably more flexible than trains because campuses are rarely next to the station.
Open days
Open days are fixed dates and fill quickly, with registration required. We plan the route around your confirmed dates rather than the other way round — first establish which open days you have secured, then work out the driving.
Outside open days
Most colleges admit visitors to public areas year round: you see the courts and chapels but not accommodation or teaching rooms. Some Cambridge and Oxford colleges close during exams in May and June, and some charge entry. Check before building a day around one.
Waiting
Campus visits run two to four hours. The driver waits rather than leaving, so bags, coats and anything you have bought stay in the vehicle. That matters on a day covering three institutions.
Corporate and institutional visits
Factory, research centre and institutional visits are common. These usually require vehicle registration and visitor lists in advance; we confirm access with the site beforehand rather than discovering a barrier on the day.
司机导游实际做些什么
揸车只是一半。我们司机受过导游训练,你想听就会说历史和地理,你想静静望窗就不会出声。实际协助包括:搬行李、餐厅推介、排队买飞、知哪个停车场仲有位。我们不收商店和餐厅佣金——所以我们的推介先有价值。
语言支援
全程英文、普通话和广东话。由第一次查询到最后一程送机都是同一种语言,不是翻译 app。在爱丁堡你用英文大致应付到;但在高地单线道遇上天气突变,有人可以用你的语言解释情况,是另一种安心。
我们不会做的嘢
我们不会迫你入有佣金的商店或者餐厅。不会在你未问之前加项目再收钱。不会话一间我们没有住过的酒店好。如果你的计划日数不够、或者自驾对你来说其实更抵、又或者小团游更适合你,我们会直接说——就算这样会少做一单。
