Overview of your London tour

Our first stop will be Oxford one of the most historic and beautiful cities in England! Known as the “City of Dreaming Spires,” it is home to the world-famous University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world, dating back to the 12th century. As we walk through the city we’ll view breathtaking architecture, charming cobbled streets, as well as the must see landmarks of the Radcliffe Camera, Bodleian Library & the Sheldonian Theatre we will also visit one of the Colleges. After lunch we head to the Cotswolds which is like stepping into a storybook scene. Visitors can meander through quaint villages such as Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water and Castle Combe, each exuding its own unique character and charm. Wander along cobbled streets lined with historic buildings, cozy tearooms, and artisan shops, and see lush countryside dotted with sheep-dotted pastures and ancient woodlands.

Alex was a fantastic guide and took such good care of us! My husband and I accompanied my aging parents to England, and we wanted a private tour to make it easier with their mobility issues. Alex was so gracious and patient with our slow pace and gave us a wonderful tour of Oxford and the Cotswold while transporting us in his very comfortable van. He was also a very good conversationalist while on the road and taught us many things about English history and culture. We highly recommend him and would use him again!

Our family has a fantastic tour with Alex. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to take us around the countryside. It was a highlight of our trip to London.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tours of the Cotswolds and Oxford. Alexander was very knowledgeable about both the Cotswolds villages and Oxford. We particularly enjoyed Oxford and his choice of New College was spot on. We'd highly recommend the tour.
