Surrounded by beautiful medieval architecture, rich history and culture, Oxford has everything you need for a perfect day trip from London.
Founded in the 9th century, the city of Oxford is the second most known city in the UK (After London) because of the popular and magnificent Oxford University, one of the most renowned universities in the world where thousands of influential personalities attended.
Taking a stroll down the city, you will find a college every few feet with inspiring ancient buildings and extraordinary spires that make Oxford’s architecture so interesting.
On this day trip, your driver-guide will show you the highlights of Oxford including the Bridge of Sighs on the grounds of Hertford College, the New College, the University Library and the Sheldonian Theatre, Christ Church and the Radcliffe Camera building.
You will learn how the unique college system of Oxford and Cambridge works, know about the infamous ‘Town and Gown Wars’ and shiver with the stories of Oxford martyrs burning at the stake.
You will also explore Harry Potter movie locations, Brideshead Revisited and Inspector Morse. And if you’re a literature buff, you are in for a treat because Oxford has inspired many works of fiction including JRR Tolkein, CS Lewis, Lewis Carroll, and JK Rowling.
We will stop for lunch at a place with a dreamy view of the River Isis to stir up more brainpower, and if you’re up for it, you can climb up a 74′ bell tower for a panoramic view of the famous dreamy spires of Oxford.
If the sweetness of history actually dripped from those honey-coloured colleges, you would return from this day trip with a pot of pure honey.
