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
First visit to Oxford and Cambridge
Peter Rabbit and Jagg were amazing, Peter explained many things and knows a lot about the tour, especially places that a common guide would not always take you to
Harry Potter

Trip to Oxford and Cambridge
Had a lovely time at Oxford and Cambridge. Went on a lovely day with perfect weather, along with our guide Danxia and driver Rexhep, learnt so much about the history of these Universities. Highly recommend.
Day tour to Cambridge & Oxford Uni from London.
I liked this day tour to both campus from London. the price was OK and acceptable. our tour was less thank half full. It was a good experiences for historical sites. This tour was bilingual (Spanish & English). I think, Tour guide was not very good explanation about the school history and education systems about the Cambridge and Oxford. She did the best to help others that did not purchase to Chris Church and other entries.
