Gita di un giorno guidata delle università di Oxford e Cambridge da Londra
Descrizione
Fai una gita di un giorno divertente ed istruttiva alle due più famose città universitarie del mondo. Queste città, dove si sono formate innumerevoli menti brillanti nel corso degli anni, sono belle almeno quanto sono prestigiose. La prima tappa sarà Oxford, sede della più antica università del mondo anglofono. Fai un tour guidato a piedi che comprende la Bodleian Library e visita Christ Church College, ambientazione delle riprese di "Harry Potter". Dopodiché, raggiungeremo la città, altrettanto splendida, di Cambridge per visitare le sue attrazioni storiche e architettoniche.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Tour a piedi di Oxford: segui le orme dei famosi studenti di Oxford, da C.S. Lewis a Bill Clinton, mentre cammini per gli accattivanti cortili dei college e i vicoli acciottolati di questa storica città universitaria. Ammira le famose "guglie sognanti" e ammira la Bodleian Library, una delle biblioteche più antiche d'Europa, durante la tua visita. Rimarrai affascinato dagli stretti vicoli incontaminati e dalle antiche piazze di questa città naturalmente bella.
Una delizia per gli spettatori di tutte le età, Christ Church è immediatamente riconoscibile come una delle location principali per i film di Harry Potter! Lasciati incantare dalla magica grandezza della Sala Grande, usata come ambientazione per Hogwarts.
Una volta lasciata Oxford, ti dirigerai verso la bellissima città di Cambridge. È qui che visiterai la Senate House presso la famosa Università di Cambridge. Prima utilizzato dal Consiglio del Senato per importanti riunioni, ora è il luogo prescelto per le cerimonie di laurea degli studenti. Potrai esplorare questo luogo speciale e scoprire la sua importante storia prima di avventurarti nel Corpus Clock!
Visita il Corpus Clock, un'invenzione unica al di fuori della Taylor Library al Corpus Christi College, Università di Cambridge. Rivelato al mondo da Stephen Hawking, è realizzato con un disco in acciaio inossidabile placcato in oro 24 carati e non ha numeri per indicare l'ora. Invece, mostra l'ora attraverso luci che brillano attraverso le singole fessure. Questa imperdibile innovazione rimarrà nella tua mente molto tempo dopo che te ne sarai andato!
Durante la tua sosta potrai anche vedere il Mathematical Bridge di Cambridge. Progettato da William Etheridge, ha quasi 300 anni e ha attirato visitatori da tutto il mondo. Il design offre ai visitatori un enigma intrigante: utilizza solo travi dritte ma gli archi del ponte. È assolutamente da vedere!
Uno dei momenti salienti del viaggio è la visita alla squisita Cappella del King's College. Utilizzata come simbolo che rappresenta la città di Cambridge, la Cappella è una popolare attrazione turistica per le persone di tutto il mondo. Impiegando un secolo per costruire, a partire dal 1446 su richiesta di Enrico VI, la King’s College Chapel mostra una meravigliosa architettura gotica e enormi e incantevoli vetrate colorate. Con la più grande volta del mondo e le famose opere d'arte di Rubens, c'è molto da imparare e da scoprire a casa del King’s College Chapel Choir. L'orario di arrivo previsto per il ritorno a Londra è intorno alle 19:00.

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!

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!
