We depart from your home with our home pick-up service, join your tour coach and travel south to Oxford with comfort stops enroute. Arrive at your hotel late afternoon, time to relax before dinner.
This morning we visit the historic university city of Oxford with its honey-gold buildings, dreaming spires and riverside setting and we enjoy a 2-hour guided walking tour of the city and learn more about its history and most famous landmarks. The afternoon is at leisure to wander at your own pace where many distinguished people have studied and more recently the colleges have become famous for their connection to the Harry Potter films.
Today we visit Waddesdon Manor, built by Baron de Rothschild in 1874 to house his remarkable collection of fine art and provide a very hospitable environment for his many friends. The stunning manor house is built in the style of a French Renaissance Chateau, inspired by those in the Loire Alley and has extensive grounds featuring a Rococo style Aviary, formal gardens and flamboyant array of statues and fountains. Waddesdon was created to impress and it certainly does, we also have a 45-minute guided garden tour included taking in the highlights of Waddesdon Manor Garden and also enjoy a lovely 2 course lunch.
For our excursion today we head to Henley-on-Thames where we have free time at leisure to explore this famous waterside market town, home to delightful independent shops, great pubs and cafes. Attractions include the award-winning River & Rowing Museum which explores the River Thames, the sport of rowing and the town of Henley. In the afternoon we make our way back to our hotel from where we take a short stroll to Caversham Pier, situated just outside where we embark on a 30 minute circular cruise of the River Thames.
This morning we bid farewell and begin our homeward journey with comfort stops enroute.
