Follow in the footsteps of Oxford’s famous students, from C.S. Lewis to Bill Clinton, as you stroll the impressive college courtyards and curious cobbled lanes of this historic university town. Being a centre of learning for more than 900 years has bequeathed Oxford with countless faculties, halls, libraries, chapels and lodgings, earned it the soubriquet of City of Dreaming Spires. Meander through the unspoilt narrow alleys and ancient squares and let them captivate you. Get the chance to see Bodleian Library which is one of the oldest libraries in Europe as well as the splendid college courtyards. On top of the walking tour, you get to set your own pace as you enjoy some free time!

The rolling hills of the Cotswolds are one of England’s most picturesque locations and you cast your eyes over all of it as we cruise on through. The area is a charming blend of breath-taking natural scenery, sleepy villages and bustling market towns.

Trace the footsteps of young Shakespeare with a guided tour of the market town which is a cut above the rest: Stratford-Upon-Avon. Visit the half-timbered house where arguably the world's greatest writer William Shakespeare was born in 1564 as well as the half-timbered Anne Hathaway's Cottage, where his wife’s family lived. Delve into the charm of this bustling market town at your leisure.

Be part of Britain’s Greatest Medieval Experience! Deep in the heart of Warwick Castle, the Great Hall becomes a hive of activity! Immerse yourself in battle preparations and feel the weight of a medieval sword. Dating from when Normans and Saxons battled for control of England, Warwick Castle has all the features a castle should have: walls, towers, a barbican, a dungeon, a vast central courtyard and even a mill. Roam around checking out this lovely town with its array of attractive buildings. It is stunningly located on the banks of the River Avon, an area of unrivalled pastoral beauty.
