What to expect

Escape the hustle and bustle of the busy London streets and discover the beautiful city of Oxford on this day trip to one of England’s most famous cities. Dating back to the 8th century, this charming city is full of hidden treasures and echoes of its rich, fascinating history! This day tour welcomes you to the UK’s most famous university city, with stories of how it survived through Viking invasions and the rule of the Normans to become an intellectual nucleus of the world.

As you arrive in the beautiful town of Oxford, your expert guide will take you on a tour of all the must-see sites. Take in the Carfax Tower and the remains of Beaumont Palace, both built in the 12th Century, visit the Martyrs Memorial, to Protestants who died in the reign of Catholic Queen Mary, and see the Bridge of Sighs with its distinctive design, all before visiting the famous University of Oxford.

Once you arrive at the University of Oxford, you’ll see all the major sites, including the Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Square and the Ashmolean Museum (the university’s collection of art and archaeology), before discovering the University’s constituent colleges, Trinity, Christ Church and Corpus Christi. You’ll also hear about some of the university’s most famous alumni, which includes Stephen Hawking, Bill Clinton and even Rowan Atkinson.
