Private Day Tour from London

A royal castle and the city of dreaming spires.

Combine a thousand years of royal history with the world's most famous university city. Start at Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, then explore the historic colleges and libraries of Oxford. This private 10-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 9:00 AM, arriving in Windsor at around 10:00 AM, just as the castle opens. Explore the magnificent State Apartments, see Queen Mary's Dolls' House and visit St George's Chapel, the resting place of ten monarchs (about 2.5 hours).

At around 12:30 PM, travel to Oxford, arriving at around 1:45 PM for about 3.5 hours of sightseeing, with time for a late lunch. Start at Christ Church, with its grand Tom Quad, cathedral and the dining hall that inspired Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. A short walk takes you to Carfax Tower in the heart of the city, where you can climb to the top for wonderful views over the dreaming spires. Then wander through the cobbled lanes to the elegant Bridge of Sighs at Hertford College, and finish on the historic High Street at University College, one of the oldest colleges in Oxford.

At each stop, your driver will wait with your belongings while you explore and take photos. At around 5:15 PM, we'll begin the return journey, arriving back in London at around 7:00 PM, with drop-off at your original pickup point or another Central London address.

Times are approximate and may vary with traffic. Windsor Castle and Oxford's colleges may close at short notice for royal or university events, and St George's Chapel is closed to visitors on Sundays.
