» Cambridge and Oxford - Full Day Coach Tour

We begin our day travelling to Cambridge, Cambridge's stately Gothic style College buildings rise spectacularly from the greenery along the River Cam where students and visitors enjoy punting along the River. We visit the magnificent perpendicular chapel of King's College, founded in 1441, it’s the finest and grandest example of late medieval Gothic architecture in England and is a fitting tribute to the great minds that have studied here.

During your walking tour of this City filled with beautiful buildings and historical quirks you'll visit the so-called 'Bridge of Sighs', named after its look-a-like in Venice and several other Colleges that make up the University, each with their own stories to tell.

Through scenic countryside to Oxford, bridging - in a couple of hours - centuries of scholarly rivalry between these two venerable institutions! Oxford, the 'City of Dreaming Spires', whose hushed courtyards and elegant, dignified timeworn buildings have inspired generations of scholars (including Bill Clinton in the 1970s!) and writers, including Lewis Carroll who wrote 'Alice in Wonderland' here.
 Oxford (pronounced /'ɒksfəd/, listen (help·info)) is a city, and the county town of Oxfordshire, in South East England. It has a population of 134,248 (2001 census). The River Thames runs through Oxford, where for a distance of some 10 miles (16 km) it is known as The Isis.

The city of Cambridge (pronunciation (help·info) Came-bridge) is a university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It lies about 50 miles (80 km) north-northeast of London and is surrounded by a number of smaller towns and villages. It is also at the heart of the high-technology centre known as Silicon Fen.

Harry Potter is a heptalogy of fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of the eponymous adolescent wizard Harry Potter, together with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, his best friends from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The central story arc concerns Harry's struggle against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the Wizarding world, after which he seeks to subjugate the Muggle world to his rule.
Find your own inspiration in the sense of tradition and intellectual curiosity that pervades this lovely City - you'll visit Christchurch, where Harry Potter scenes were filmed and where Albert Einstein studied - bring your camera! On your walking tour of Oxford you'll see the Bodleian library and the picture-perfect College courtyards for which Oxford is justifiably famous.
