Step by Step
Oxford and Cambridge await you on this day trip from London. Hop on a private coach in the British capital and be amazed by the explanations of an expert guide who will tell you all about these two internationally famous cities.
The tour will take you to Oxford and allow you to follow in the footsteps of famous students from its prestigious university, such as C.S. Lewis or Bill Clinton. In this beautiful city, captivating university courtyards and cobbled streets, narrow untouched lanes and some of the oldest squares in England await you. You can also enjoy the famous 'dreaming spires' and see the Bodleian Library, one of the oldest in Europe.
Another stop on the itinerary is a must for film buffs of all ages and most especially for Harry Potter fans! Christ Church is instantly recognisable as one of the main locations in the films, a place full of beauty and charm, where you can marvel at the magical grandeur of the Great Dining Hall, one of the main settings within Hogwarts.
The beautiful city of Cambridge will not be missing from your route. Here you will visit Senate House, the world-famous University of Cambridge. Once used by the Senate Council for important meetings, it is now the venue of choice for student degree ceremonies. You can explore this special place and discover its important history before venturing to the Corpus Clock!
After the beautiful visit to Senate House, the Corpus Clock awaits you, a unique invention outside the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge. Revealed to the world by Stephen Hawking, it is made of a 24-carat gold-plated stainless steel disc and has no numbers to tell the time. How does it tell the time? You'll have to find out there!
Having seen the famous scientist's clock, you can cross Cambridge's Mathematical Bridge . Designed by William Etheridge, it is almost 300 years old and has attracted visitors from all over the world because of the intriguing enigma of its design: the bridge uses only straight beams in its arches. It's a must-see!
