We take you on a fascinating walking tour through the cobbled streets of Oxford to see the Bodleian Library and the picture-perfect college courtyards, for which Oxford is famous. Optional: Purchase tickets for an interior visit to Christ Church college to see the dining room where Harry Potter was filmed.

THE COTSWOLDS: Steeped in history and heritage, the area of England known as the Cotswolds is a charming blend of cottages with honey-colored walls and thatched roofs, market towns with crooked half-timbered houses lining the High Street, and ancient stone crosses, all set in the gently rolling hills ('wolds') that are so typically English in character.
