Visit two of the world's most beautiful cities - Oxford and Cambridge - on this full day tour from central London.

After boarding a luxury air-conditioned coach near Victoria, your friendly expert guide will share some stories and history of the colleges as you drive through the English countyside.

Oxford - The City of Dreaming Spires

Upon arrival in Oxford you'll follow in the footsteps of famous students like CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien on a 90-minute walking tour through the cobbled lanes and alleyways of this historic town.

Of all the 14th and 15th century buildings that you'll get to see, one of the most beautiful is Christ Church College - founded by Henry VIII in 1548 and instantly recognisable to Harry Potter fans as one of the locations used in the movies, with its iconic bell tower designed by Sir Christopher Wren.

You'll also visit the Bodleian Library - one of the oldest libraries in Europe - and two more architectural masterpieces, the Radcliffe Camera and Sheldonian Theatre.

Cambridge & King's College Chapel

Then you'll reboard the coach for your journey to Cambridge.

The highlight of your visit will be King's College Chapel. Started in 1446 during the reign of Henry VI, this gothic masterpiece took over 100 years to build and contains some amazing stained glass windows and the world's largest fan vault ceiling.

As you stroll around the historic town, past the uni students punting on the River Cam, you'll chance upon hidden gems like the Bridge of Sighs - a picturesque footbridge that evokes memories of Venice - and the 300-year-old Mathematical Bridge which some people still believe was designed by Sir Isaac Newton.
