The rivalry between the UK's oldest universities dates back centuries and, on this full-day Tour, you'll be exploring the historical cities behind these two prestigious institutions. You'll also visit the famous colleges from these universities and walk in the footsteps of some of history's most famous alumni.
Oxford, the 'City of Dreaming Spires,' whose hushed courtyards have inspired generations of scholars including Bill Clinton and writers, Lewis Carroll who wrote 'Alice in Wonderland', C.S. Lewis who wrote 'Chronicles of Narnia' and the immortal J.R.R. Tolkien, author of 'Lord of the Rings'. See the Bodleian Library and the picture-perfect college courtyards for which Oxford is justifiably famous.
A city renowned for its unique, ornate buildings and culture, Cambridge is a historic city full of character. You'll see the best that Cambridge has to offer on a walking tour of the city with your Expert Guide.

Oxford & Cambridge Universities – excluding entrances
The tour was very interesting and well paced. However our guide needs to develop his people skills and reduce the sarcasm directed at members of his group. He did appear to be bored with the process
