Itinerary
Follow in the footsteps of Oxford's famous students, from C.S. Lewis to Bill Clinton, as you stroll the captivating college courtyards and cobbled lanes of this historic university town. Take in the famous 'dreaming spires' and see the Bodleian Library – one of the oldest libraries in Europe – on your visit. You'll be captivated by the unspoilt narrow alleys and ancient squares of this naturally beautiful town.
Senate House Once you’ve left Oxford, you’ll make your way to the beautiful city of Cambridge. It’s here that you will visit Senate House at the world-famous University of Cambridge. Before used by the Council of the Senate for important meetings, it is now the chosen location for students’ degree ceremonies. You’ll get to explore this special location and discover its important history before venturing onto the Corpus Clock! Corpus Clock Visit the Corpus Clock, a unique invention outside the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University. Revealed to the world by Stephen Hawking, it is made from a 24-carat gold-plated stainless steel disc and has no numbers to tell the time. Instead, it shows the time through lights that shine through individual slits. This unmissable innovation will stay in your mind long after you’ve left!

Traveler reviews
Excellent guid and trip.
I have wonderful experiences with the trip. I was filled with interesting information. I really recommend.
Excellent Duo!
I had this tour with 35% discount from Golden Tour as this is my 2nd tour with them. Apple is very chill and patient explaining the details while Joanna’s driving skill was fabulous. There wasnt any jerking at all throughout the journey. The small cosch was very clean and comfortable- the best coach I used in London!
Good tour. Guide was conprehensive
Nice overview and historical tour. Would have preverred a little more on current character of institutions. Could lengthen the duration, maximise time and see more.
Wonderful Oxford and Cambridge Tour—Great Care, Safety, and Hospitality
Dear Golden Tours Team, Thank you for organizing the Day Trip to Oxford and Cambridge from London. We truly enjoyed every moment of the tour on 7 April 2026, and I would like to express my sincere appreciation for how carefully and thoughtfully the whole itinerary was arranged. A special thank you to our guide, Eileen. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and her explanations of the different sights were clear, detailed, and engaging. During the drive, she also shared fascinating insights into British history and the scenic features along the route. Her communication style was not only informative but also funny and humorous, which made the journey even more enjoyable. We would also like to appreciate the driver for the excellent driving skills. Throughout the day, we felt safe and comfortable, and the trip was very smooth from start to finish. Finally, the lunch was absolutely fantastic—very generous in portions, and the “super food” options were delicious as well as healthy. It was a perfect break during the day. Overall, the tour was well organized, warm, and memorable. Thank you again for your excellent service. We would definitely recommend Golden Tours to other travelers! Warm regards, Ringo
It’s memorable trip for me.
Kulvinder provided us the best driving service, and David is the best tour guide ever! He presented all details information about the places.
