Oxford, Stratford and The Cotswolds
with Christmas Lunch

Oxford

We begin our day traveling across the Chiltern Hills to Oxford, the 'City of Dreaming Spires,' whose hushed courtyards have inspired generations of scholars including Bill Clinton and writers, including Lewis Carroll who wrote 'Alice in Wonderland,' C.S. Lewis who wrote 'Chronicles of Narnia' and the immortal J.R.R. Tolkein author of 'Lord of the Rings.' We take you on a walking tour through the cobbled streets of this prestigious institute of learning.

Cotswolds

Steeped in history and heritage, the area of England known as the Cotswolds is a charming blend of cottages with honey-coloured walls and thatched roofs, market towns with crooked half-timbered houses lining the High Street, and ancient stone crosses, all set in the gently rolling hills ('wolds') that are so typically English in character.

Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon is renowned for being the birthplace of the world-famous playwright William Shakespeare. There'll be time to explore this charming market town, its streets decorated to celebrate the festive season.

This tour only operates on Christmas Day, 25th December. Christmas Lunch in Stratford upon Avon is included in the tour price.
