Cotswolds One Day Guided Cycle Tour - Private Groups

You will see more scenic beauty & experience nature better on a bike tour than by car. This tour is delivered only by myself, Alasdair and my local colleagues. I am the business owner of Visit Oxford Tours. However, for insurance purposes, these tours are actually booked to be conducted privately via myself as a self employed sole trader offering you a personal service. They are not delivered as a product delivered by Visit Oxford Tours Ltd. This legal distinction will be reconfirmed in writing whenever any booking is received. Default itinerary is 10am to 5.30pm. The Cotswolds is a scenic part of England located only 10 minutes by train from Oxford or less than 30 minutes tax ride from Oxford. Oxford is only 60 minutes from London Paddington station. It's my pleasure to share these sights & heritage with you on an active cycling tour. Participants must be fit and aged 14+ as the Cotswolds roads are lots of up and down cycling but the scenery plus the villages here are beautiful.

Oxford is a brand, a symbol of an ideal education with centuries of tradition and the latest improvements. The city and the university are inseparable, like a body and the beating heart within it. The ancient streets are filled with the atmosphere of student youth, perseverance and determination – the best of the best study here. This place is perfect for informal walks in the company of local guides. Whether you're interested in the mysteries of antiquity or architecture, the Harry Potter filming or university, or all of the above, there are many interesting themed tours of Oxford to choose from!

Oxford's sights are elegant and intellectual. There are 38 colleges at the university, and visitors are most often interested in Christchurch, Magdalen, Trinity and Merton. Some of them can be seen from the inside. The magnificent Bodleian Library consists of several buildings, the most prominent of which is the Radcliffe Rotunda. The Sheldonian Theatre is a traditional venue for university events. Fans of antiquity will be drawn to the Ashmole Museum of Art and Archaeology, but there are plenty of open-air antiquities in and around Oxford.

Within the city limits, Old England is represented by Oxford Castle and Carfax Tower. In the surrounding countryside, where local guides will be happy to take you on a tour by car, you will be enchanted by such unique monuments as the White Horse (an artifact of primitive times), Dorchester Abbey, Waddesdon Manor and Blenheim Palace.

Oxford and its suburbs are full of memories of famous people who lived, studied and created here. "Centers of attraction for many of them were the city's pubs. For example, in "The Eagle and Child" sat Lewis and Tolkien, and in "Turf Tavern" – the future president of the United States Bill Clinton. It is impossible not to touch these time-keepers and sit in them with a pint of ale.
