About this tour

The day runs about 10 hours door to door from London, taking in Oxford and Cambridge. Your guide works in English and is with you the whole day — the history, where to stand for the best photograph, and what is worth your time at each stop.

You travel as one group on an executive coach, with a guide at the front of it all day. The price covers the travel and the guide; admission and food you pay for on the day, so you only buy what you actually want. The list below sets out exactly what is and is not in the price.

We confirm every booking by email before taking any payment, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure.
