From London: Guided Day Trip to Oxford and Windsor Castle

1. From London: Guided Day Trip to Oxford and Windsor Castle

Our day will start in London, where we will head to Windsor Castle on our comfortable bus. Here you will have the chance to visit this royal palace and residence built in the 11th century after King William I the Conqueror's conquest of England. Since the time of Henry I of England, it has been inhabited by kings and monarchs. This fact makes it the second-oldest occupied European royal residence. You will be able to know the inside of the castle itself if you choose the option that includes the entrance, or if you prefer it, have some spare time to walk around Windsor Castle on your own. Feel like a king and discover all the stories that this iconic place hides! From here, we will move to Oxford, known as "The City of Dreaming Spiers", due to its pointed towers that transport us to medieval times and the stories of castles and dragons. The tour leader will show us the highlights of this medieval-style city. You will have the chance to see places like Oxford University itself, the University Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, or Brasenose College. If you are a Harry Potter fan, be attentive and identify the most iconic places of Hogwarts. After the guided visit, you will have some free time to enjoy Oxford and walk through its streets. In short, it is a cultural and architectural trip that you cannot miss since we will visit two of the most iconic places in the history of England!

What people are saying about University of Oxford

I deeply regret not to have booked the option with guided visit in Windsor Castle. At the beginning, I thought I could visit the castle by my own, but the guide was truly good and explained everything in a way that everyone could understand. I´m thinking about booking it again!
