Private Day Tour from London

Follow in Shakespeare's footsteps, then explore the city of dreaming spires.

Discover the life of the world's most famous playwright in his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon, then visit Oxford, home of the oldest university in the English-speaking world. This private 8-hour day tour takes care of all the travel, so you can simply relax and enjoy.

Your private tour begins with pickup from your Central London hotel or residence at 8:00 AM, arriving in Stratford-upon-Avon at around 10:15 AM for about 1.5 hours. Visit Shakespeare's Birthplace, the half-timbered house on Henley Street where the playwright was born and grew up, and discover the story of his life and family. Then explore the historic town centre, with its Tudor buildings, independent shops and riverside, and grab a quick lunch.

At around 11:45 AM, travel to Oxford, arriving at around 12:45 PM for about 1 hour 45 minutes of sightseeing. Start on the historic High Street at University College, one of the oldest colleges in Oxford, then wander through the cobbled lanes to the elegant Bridge of Sighs at Hertford College. Finish at Carfax Tower in the heart of the city, where you can climb to the top for wonderful views over the dreaming spires.

At each stop, your driver will wait with your belongings while you explore and take photos. At around 2:30 PM, we'll begin the return journey, arriving back in London at around 4:00 PM, with drop-off at your original pickup point or another Central London address.

Times are approximate and may vary with traffic. Oxford's colleges may close at short notice for university events, so opening times can change.
