Windsor Castle & Oxford Tour
A morning among Oxford's dreaming spires, including Christ Church College, followed by an afternoon inside Windsor Castle — two very different sides of English history in one private day.
The experience
Academia in the morning, royalty in the afternoon.
Oxford has been a seat of learning for over 800 years, and its skyline of spires, quads and honey-coloured stone still feels like stepping into another century. Your guide leads a relaxed walking tour through the university's most photogenic corners, with a visit inside Christ Church College — the grandest of Oxford's colleges, and a filming location familiar to fans of Harry Potter and Brideshead Revisited.
From there, it's a scenic drive south to Windsor, where the mood shifts entirely — from scholars' cloisters to the working residence of the British monarchy, with an afternoon guided through the State Apartments and St George's Chapel.

Destinations
About Oxford & Windsor
Oxford
Home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a working city of scholars as much as a tourist destination — students still cycle between lectures past buildings that date back to the 13th century. Christ Church College, founded by Cardinal Wolsey and refounded by Henry VIII, is among the grandest, with its own cathedral serving as the college chapel — a rarity found nowhere else in Oxford.
Windsor
Windsor Castle has been a royal residence for over 900 years and remains a working home for the King today. Inside, you'll walk through the State Apartments and St George's Chapel, resting place of monarchs including Queen Elizabeth II and Henry VIII — the same king whose reign shaped so much of what you'll have seen that morning in Oxford.
