Oxford – Explore the City of Dreaming Spires

Begin your private day tour in Oxford, one of England’s most historic and internationally recognised cities.

Oxford is famous for its university, historic colleges, cobbled streets and remarkable architecture spanning centuries of English history. Its compact centre is ideal for exploring on foot, with impressive buildings and photographic opportunities around almost every corner.

Depending on your interests and available time, you may wish to see:

● The University of Oxford’s historic surroundings

● Radcliffe Camera

● Bodleian Library

● Bridge of Sighs

● Christ Church

● Oxford’s covered market

● Historic Broad Street

● Independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs

Your group will have time to explore independently. Entry to university colleges and other attractions is not included unless specifically agreed, and some locations require advance booking.

Explore the Cotswolds

Leaving Oxford behind, travel into the beautiful Cotswolds countryside and experience a completely different side of England.

The Cotswolds is renowned for its rolling landscape, traditional honey-coloured stone buildings, historic market towns and picturesque villages. Instead of treating the countryside merely as a road between destinations, we can include one or more practical village stops as part of your itinerary.

Possible destinations include:

Burford

A historic Cotswolds town known for its sloping High Street, traditional stone buildings, shops and cafés.

Bourton-on-the-Water

One of the best-known Cotswolds villages, with attractive stone bridges crossing the River Windrush.

Stow-on-the-Wold

A historic market town with a spacious market square, independent shops, cafés and traditional inns.

Chipping Campden

An elegant Cotswolds market town recognised for its historic High Street and traditional limestone architecture.

It will not normally be practical to visit every village properly in a single day alongside Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon. Tell us which locations interest you most and we will recommend a realistic route without rushing your group from one brief photograph stop to another.

Stratford-upon-Avon – Shakespeare’s Hometown

Continue to Stratford-upon-Avon, the historic Warwickshire town internationally known as the birthplace of William Shakespeare.

Located beside the River Avon, Stratford combines literary history with Tudor buildings, attractive streets, riverside walks, shops, cafés and restaurants.

Depending on your available time and interests, places to explore include:

● Shakespeare’s Birthplace

● Anne Hathaway’s Cottage

● Holy Trinity Church

● The Royal Shakespeare Theatre

● Stratford’s historic town centre

● The River Avon and Bancroft Gardens

Whether you are interested in Shakespeare or simply want to experience another attractive English town, Stratford-upon-Avon provides an excellent final destination before your private return journey.

Admission to Shakespeare-related properties, theatres and other attractions is not included unless specifically arranged.
