Cambridge is known for its distinctive historic buildings and is home to the University of Cambridge, a long-standing academic rival of Oxford. The tour begins with a walking tour of Cambridge, including a visit to King's College with a 45-minute admission and views of the Bridge of Sighs. After about two hours in Cambridge, the group travels by coach to Oxford. Oxford, often called the City of Dreaming Spires, features architecture from every period of English history, from early Saxon to Gothic Revival. The walking tour in Oxford lasts around two hours and covers the university city’s main sights, including the Bodleian Library, one of Europe's oldest libraries with over 12 million items. The tour also includes a 45-minute visit to Christ Church College, founded by Henry VIII in 1532, which serves as both a college and the UK's smallest cathedral. Its dining hall inspired the one featured in the Harry Potter films. Transportation between the cities is by superior coach equipped with Wifi and USB charging. Throughout the day, an expert guide leads the walking tours, and participants use personal audio headsets for commentary. The tour lasts approximately 10 and a half hours and concludes outside London Victoria Station after passing through the Chilterns, an area known for its natural beauty. Lunch and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included, and entry to colleges is only included if selected in the booking option.
