Itinerary Overview
A Tale of Two Cities: A Private Cultural Journey from River Cam Punting to Dreaming Spires
Before the morning mist over London has fully dissipated, your exclusive butler will be waiting in a luxury private vehicle at your residence. Today, you will avoid the crowds and journey with ease between England's two oldest academic sanctuaries—Cambridge and Oxford.
Departure from London
Your exclusive butler awaits in a luxury private vehicle at your residence. Escape the bustling city into the serene countryside, with the freedom to stop whenever you wish to capture the quintessential British landscapes.
Cambridge
Arrive in Cambridge and delve into this city of academia with a private stroll. Wander along the meandering River Cam, admiring the weeping willows and punting scholars, as your butler recounts the history of Cambridge University, founded in 1209 by scholars who departed from Oxford.
King's College
Visit King's College, commissioned by Henry VI in 1441. Step into the college chapel and gaze up at the unparalleled fan vaulting. Your butler will share stories of the illustrious figures who studied here, including Alan Turing, Oliver Cromwell, and Charles Darwin.
En route from Cambridge to Oxford
In the afternoon, your private chauffeur drives you towards Oxford. Along the way, your butler shares tales of the centuries-old rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge, or you may simply close your eyes and rest.
Christ Church College, Oxford
Explore Christ Church College, founded by Henry VIII in 1532, which also serves as the smallest cathedral in the UK. As the core filming location for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter series, step into the magnificent Great Hall and wander the cloisters as your butler points out the stone arches and steps seen in the films.
Oxford
As the sun begins to set, your butler captures the most beautiful light on the Oxford skyline, where Gothic spires are gilded in the golden afterglow. Choose a tranquil corner for a photograph before settling into your luxury vehicle for a comfortable return journey.
