Description
Leaving the centre of London at the indicated time, we hit the road on the way to Oxford, our first stop. Here we'll pass through a city with a prestigious academic tradition known worldwide.
First, we'll pass by the Bodleian Library, the main research library for the famous University of Oxford. We'll admire the façade of this ancient library as we learn about its history. Did you know that the library houses the Radcliffe Camera and the Hooke Library?
Continuing our walking tour of Oxford, we'll take in the historic Christ Church college, where kings, scientists and politicians from all over the world were educated. This stunning college may also ring a bell for fans of the Harry Potter series, as Christ Church was the setting for various scenes in the saga of films, including all the scenes set in the dining room.
Leaving Oxford behind, we'll head to Cambridge, another English city known worldwide for its university. Our next stop is the King's College chapel, the most famous gothic monument in the city. We'll continue by visiting some of the best-known sights in Cambridge, such as the University Library or the oldest college of all, Peterhouse, founded in 1284.
Having enjoyed these two English cities, we head back to London by bus, arriving 10 hours after initial pickup.
