Very Simple Booking Through JTR Holidays

We booked the Oxford and Lacock tour through JTR Holidays and were very happy with the service. They answered our questions quickly and made the booking process straightforward. The tour itself was excellent, especially Lacock and the historic parts of Oxford. Everything was well arranged and our guide was very helpful.

A Beautiful Day

We really enjoyed this day trip. Lacock was such a charming little village, and walking through the old streets felt like stepping into another time. Oxford was completely different but equally interesting. The Bodleian Library and the architecture around the university were beautiful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the history easy to follow.

Lacock Was a Surprise

I booked this mainly because I wanted to see Oxford, but Lacock ended up being one of my favorite parts. The village is incredibly picturesque and very peaceful compared with London. Oxford was fascinating as well, particularly walking around the university area. A really nice combination of two very different places.

Perfect for History Lovers

This was one of our favorite days during our London holiday. Lacock has so much character and the old buildings are incredibly well preserved. Oxford was the highlight for me, especially the university buildings and Divinity School. We learned a lot without the tour feeling like a history lecture. Lunch was also good and convenient.
