28 Nov 2026 – Oxford

Trip Details

Experience the very best of Oxford in one seamless tour, combining our Oxford walking tour with a relaxing chauffeured punt along the River Cherwell.

 

The tour begins in central Oxford, where we will meet our Oxford student/alumni guide. Combining rich historical insight with authentic knowledge of student life, traditions and culture, our guide will lead us past the city’s most iconic landmarks and entry into New College (self-guided), founded in 1379, taking in its medieval cloisters, gardens and chapel.

 

At the end of the walking tour we continue on to the boathouse to board a traditional punt for a leisurely journey along the River Cherwell, passing the Oxford Botanic Garden, Magdalen College School’s playing fields, and the tranquil grounds of Christ Church Meadows — the setting closely associated with Lewis Carroll, who developed Alice in Wonderland while teaching in Oxford. The punt continues past the tranquil meadows before returning to the boathouse.

 

Celebrate the beginning of the festive season with a visit to Oxford’s Christmas Market, the historic Broad Street in Oxford city centre will be transformed into a magical celebration of all things Christmas!

 

Ample free time to re-explore the city after the market visit before returning back to ISH.
