Detailed Itinerary

Begin your Christmas journey in beautiful Oxford, strolling along its cobblestone streets and taking a full walking tour to see traditional landmarks such as the Bodleian Library and Christ Church College. Follow in the footsteps of famous alumni like Oscar Wilde and Stephen Hawking, crossing the iconic Bridge of Sighs.

Leaving Oxford, travel through the beautiful rolling hills of the Cotswolds to the charming town of Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace and home to numerous Tudor buildings. Settle in for a Christmas lunch in a traditional English pub, enjoying a delicious three-course meal with all the accompaniments, including a glass of wine or a soft drink to complement your meal and prepare you for the afternoon's activities.

Take a walk around the historic town, passing the house where Shakespeare was born and the childhood cottage of his wife Anne Hathaway, with its thatched roof and beautiful garden.

The trip is expected to return to London around 7:00 pm.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I purchase a senior citizen/student ticket, do I need to bring a valid ID on the day of the tour?
To purchase discounted tickets for seniors or students, you need to bring your identification on the day of the tour. Otherwise, you may be refused the discount ticket.
If I am late, can the bus and tour guide wait for me?
No. The bus will strictly adhere to the boarding time. If you are not on time, it will be treated as a "no show," or you will need to make your own way to the next attraction to meet the group. Please be sure to arrive at the departure point 15 minutes in advance and find your group.
Are there guided tours inside the attraction?
At most attractions, a guide will accompany you inside and provide professional commentary. However, some attractions, such as Windsor Castle, have special rules prohibiting guides from entering, so you will need to rent a multilingual audio guide inside.
How big is the group?
This is a bus tour, typically using buses with around 50 seats. Day tours accept bookings up to the day before departure, so it's difficult to predict the final number of participants.
How far in advance do I need to book?
To avoid disappointment, it's best to do it as early as possible, especially during the Christmas season.
Where do the group members come from?
With members from all over the world, this is a great opportunity for you to meet new friends.
Could you provide the tour guide's or driver's phone number?
No, due to privacy concerns. However, we will provide you with an emergency contact number and your booking number on your tour confirmation. You can call the emergency number if you have any questions.
Do you provide hotel pick-up and drop-off services?
Since this is a group tour, hotel pick-up and drop-off cannot be provided. However, the group pick-up location is in central London and near a subway station, which is very convenient.
Does the minibus have a restroom?
There are no toilet facilities in the vehicles, but drivers will stop at rest stops at appropriate times.
