Itinerary

Take a fun and educational day trip to the two most famous university cities in the world. Educating the minds of countless bright minds over the years, these cities are as beautiful as they are prestigious. The Oxford & Cambridge Universities tour begins with a comfortable journey by superior coach from London, accompanied by an expert tour guide and personal audio headsets for live commentary throughout the day. This full-day experience offers two options: one allows free time to explore Cambridge and Oxford independently, while the second one includes entry to King’s College in Cambridge and Christ Church College in Oxford. Travelling through the English countryside, you set out to uncover the fascinating history and legendary rivalry between two of the world’s most prestigious universities. 
Arriving in Cambridge, you explore the historic city that is home to the University of Cambridge, founded in 1209 by rebel Oxford scholars and now the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world. On a guided walking tour, discover a city rich in character, culture, and ornate architecture as your guide explains the university’s origins, traditions, and lasting influence on global education. The walk highlights some of the best that Cambridge has to offer, set against its charming streets and riverside scenery. Along the River Cam stands King’s College, one of the most beautiful examples of medieval Gothic architecture in England. Founded by Henry VI in 1441, the college is renowned for its magnificent chapel, whose fan-vaulted ceiling is the largest in the world. Construction of the chapel began in 1446 and took nearly 70 years to complete, resulting in a masterpiece that houses a world-famous choir broadcast to millions every Christmas Eve. As you explore the area, you follow in the footsteps of celebrated alumni such as Alan Turing, Oliver Cromwell, and Charles Darwin.
 The journey continues to Oxford, where you discover the city known as “The City of Dreaming Spires.” Home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world, with teaching dating back to the 11th century, Oxford offers a rich blend of history, architecture, and academic tradition. A guided walking tour leads you through its iconic streets and past historic colleges as your guide shares stories of remarkable alumni, groundbreaking discoveries, and time-honoured customs. A highlight of the Oxford visit is Christ Church College, one of the university’s most distinguished institutions. Founded by Henry VIII in 1532, it also serves as the smallest cathedral in the UK. Its impressive architecture has inspired replicas around the world and featured in films such as Harry Potter and The Golden Compass, leaving a lasting mark on both academic and cinematic history. After a full day exploring these two legendary university cities, the Oxford & Cambridge Universities tour returns to London, concluding at London Victoria Train Station.
