Visit London’s historic university towns
Swap the bustle of London for the hush of academia on this day trip to Oxford and Cambridge aboard a luxury coach. Your guide will regale you with the significance of these universities and why they remain so important today. Step into a maze of cobbled streets and honey-colored buildings. Oxford, the "City of Dreaming Spires," lives up to its name. Imagine yourself standing in the shadow of Christ Church College, its Gothic facade instantly recognizable from Harry Potter films. Keep an ear out for the melodic chime of Magdalen College bells, a centuries-old practice.
A peek into secrets of scientific genius
Next, you will make your way to Cambridge. Here, ancient colleges border the River Cam, their reflection shimmering like scattered emeralds. Your guide will unveil the city's scientific prowess – the hushed labs where revolutionary theories took root, from the laws of gravity to codebreaking secrets. Perhaps you'll glimpse a black-clad student rushing to a lecture. You might spot a stained-glass window commemorating Charles Darwin, or a plaque marking the pub where Francis Crick announced the discovery of DNA's double helix structure. As the day ends, hop back on the coach for a smooth ride back to London.
