You will take a full-day excursion to discover two of the United Kingdom’s most famous university cities, combining the academic charm of Cambridge with the historic tradition of Oxford. Throughout the journey, you will alternate guided visits and walks along cobbled streets, college courtyards, and emblematic buildings that have shaped British intellectual life for centuries.
In Cambridge, you will explore the heart of the university city and see the Senate House, a neoclassical building associated with the institutional life of the university and still used today for graduation ceremonies. You will also see the Corpus Clock, located next to Corpus Christi College, a striking piece known for its innovative design and singular presence within the historic setting.
The visit will continue at King’s College Chapel, one of Cambridge’s great symbols. You will approach a building whose construction began in 1446 under the reign of Henry VI, appreciating its Gothic style, medieval stained glass windows, and interior atmosphere, also recognized for its acoustics and for the tradition of the King’s College Choir.
Afterwards, you will head to Oxford for a guided walking tour of the city, passing through narrow lanes, ancient squares, and towers that define the profile of the oldest university in the English-speaking world. During the walk, you will see the Bodleian Library and conclude the visit at Christ Church College, where you will explore its courtyards and recognize spaces associated with Harry Potter scenes, including the Great Hall that inspired the atmosphere of Hogwarts.
At the end, you will return to London after a day dedicated to the university history of the United Kingdom.
