Excursion guidée d'une journée à Oxford et Cambridge au départ de Londres
Description
Optez pour une visite amusante et instructive d'une journée des deux plus célèbres villes universitaires du monde. Éduquant les esprits d’innombrables élèves brillants au fil des années, ces villes sont aussi belles qu'elles sont prestigieuses. La première étape est Oxford, qui abrite la plus ancienne université du monde anglophone. Optez pour une visite guidée à pied qui couvre la bibliothèque Bodléienne et visitez le Christ Church College, un lieu de tournage d’« Harry Potter ». Ensuite, rendez-vous à la tout aussi magnifique Cambridge pour une visite des hauts lieux historiques et architecturaux.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Visite à pied d'Oxford - suivez les traces des célèbres étudiants d'Oxford, de C.S. Lewis à Bill Clinton, en vous promenant dans les cours universitaires captivantes et les ruelles pavées de cette ville universitaire historique. Admirez les célèbres `` flèches de rêve '' et visitez la bibliothèque Bodleian - l'une des plus anciennes bibliothèques d'Europe - lors de votre visite. Vous serez captivé par les ruelles étroites préservées et les anciennes places de cette ville naturellement magnifique.
Un régal pour les cinéphiles de tous âges, Christ Church est immédiatement reconnaissable comme l'un des lieux majeurs des films Harry Potter! Émerveillez-vous devant la grandeur magique de la Grande Salle, utilisée comme décor de Poudlard.
Une fois que vous avez quitté Oxford, vous vous dirigerez vers la belle ville de Cambridge. C’est ici que vous visiterez le Sénat de la célèbre université de Cambridge. Avant d’être utilisé par le Conseil du Sénat pour des réunions importantes, c’est désormais le lieu choisi pour les cérémonies des diplômes des étudiants. Vous aurez l'occasion d'explorer cet endroit spécial et de découvrir son histoire importante avant de vous aventurer sur l'horloge du Corpus!
Visitez l'horloge Corpus, une invention unique à l'extérieur de la bibliothèque Taylor du Corpus Christi College, Université de Cambridge. Révélé au monde par Stephen Hawking, il est fabriqué à partir d'un disque en acier inoxydable plaqué or 24 carats et n'a pas de chiffres pour indiquer l'heure. Au lieu de cela, il montre l'heure à travers des lumières qui brillent à travers des fentes individuelles. Cette innovation incontournable restera dans votre esprit longtemps après votre départ!
Vous pourrez également voir le pont mathématique de Cambridge lors de votre arrêt. Conçu par William Etheridge, il a près de 300 ans et a attiré des visiteurs du monde entier. La conception donne aux visiteurs une énigme intrigante - elle n'utilise que des bois droits mais les arcs du pont. C’est un incontournable!
L’un des principaux points forts du voyage est la visite de l’exquise chapelle du King’s College. Utilisée comme symbole représentant la ville de Cambridge, la chapelle est une attraction touristique populaire pour les gens du monde entier. Prenant un siècle à construire, à partir de 1446 sur les demandes de Henry VI, la chapelle du King’s College présente une magnifique architecture gothique et d'immenses vitraux enchanteurs. Avec la plus grande voûte d'éventails du monde et des œuvres d'art célèbres de Rubens, il y a beaucoup à apprendre et à découvrir dans la maison du King’s College Chapel Choir. L'heure d'arrivée estimée à Londres est vers 19h00.

Danxia was absolutely the best tour guide I have had in 2 trips to England and experiencing several tours. She is friendly and professional.and very knowledgable on Cambridge and Oxford history. She added so much to the tour!
It is a long day with a lot of walking but visiting these amazing universities and learning about their origins was very interesting.
I chose this tour because it was my third time in London and I could go to places I had never been before at once. I'm happy with the content of the tour as I hoped, but since it's a long journey between the two universities, I think you'll enjoy the tour more, the one at each university and the nearest tourist destination.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear the tour met your expectations and that you enjoyed visiting both universities and exploring somewhere new on your third trip to London. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the travel time between stops, and will share this with our team for consideration. We hope to welcome you again on another tour soon!
Dan was knowledgeable and attentive. She showed us a lot about the two most historical iconic universities in UK. Great experience and we enjoyed every minute.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience and enjoyed every minute of the tour. It’s wonderful to know that Dan’s knowledge and attentiveness helped bring the rich history of these iconic universities to life. We’ll be sure to pass along your lovely comments—she’ll be thrilled to hear them. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience very soon!
Excellent driver Kuwengir and Guide Dan. Everything was very well explained. Loved it.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Kuwengir and Dan provided excellent service and clear explanations throughout the day. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
The tour was worthwhile. It was a long day, and we were on the bus for about 5-6 hours of the 10-11 hour day. But it was really worthwhile. The tour guide, Eileen was quirky and fun, and provided a lot of information about both universities. She definitely knew them well. Our driver, Vio, was also excellent. Very friendly and a safe driver. There were only about ten of us, so we were in a minibus without a bathroom, but it was comfortable. I ordered the lunch plan; I believe I was the only one who did that. I got "priority seating" in the front row, and I was glad I had the lunch (it was something vegetarian) because there wasn't a lot of time to eat while touring. It would have taken away from the small amount of time we had for shopping. It's hard to do both of these in a day, but I still left with a good feel of both schools. We had about 30-40 minutes to explore Cambridge on our own which was great. But for Oxford, we ran out of time and only had ten minutes. That was really a shame; there were lots of shops I would have liked to see. But overall, still a wonderful trip that I"d recommend. Quick note: I didn't have much cash on me, and I wanted to tip the tour guide and driver at the end of the trip. I figured, I would call Golden Tours the next day and find out how to get a tip to them. Turns out, you have to tip the day of the trip; there is no way to get in touch with them afterward. So I felt kind of bad. On my next tour, I made sure to have cash!
Thank you for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the Cambridge and Oxford tour and that Eileen’s engaging commentary and Vio’s safe driving helped make it a memorable day. We appreciate your feedback on the schedule and timing, and we’re glad you still had a great overall experience exploring both universities. We hope to welcome you on another tour again soon!
Eileen was a wonderful tour guide who extensively talked about the histories of the specific colleges within the campuses we visited. Duma expertly drove us through evening London traffic.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed the wealth of history shared throughout your tour. Eileen will be delighted to know her knowledge and storytelling made such a positive impact on your experience, and we’re glad Duma ensured a smooth and comfortable journey through the busy evening London traffic. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you on another tour again soon!
