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!

We originally booked a tour for Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Dover, but it was cancelled. Unfortunately the cancellation was lost in 500 emails and was a surprise when we arrived. Fortunately, our eventual Guide Peter was able to fit us into this tour to Cambridge and Oxford. We enjoyed the trip and Peter’s knowledge of history of both locations was a bonus.
Our tour guide, Wei, is truly wonderful—thoughtful, kind, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. I was excited to have her lead our exciting adventure through Oxford and Cambridge today. Rappi is an excellent driver, and we couldn’t be happier with his service.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Wei and Rappi helped make your Oxford and Cambridge tour such a memorable experience. We'll be sure to share your kind words with them and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!

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.

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!
