Following a cruise around the Mediterranean we welcome some of our American colleagues who will be visiting Oxford. They will be journeying up on Sunday morning and should you wish to travel up from London with them that can be arranged.

Following coffee, on arrival, they will be taken on a guided tour of some of the Oxford Colleges and sites of the City. This will comprise of a leisurely walk around the medieval walled city to see the heart of Oxford, including some of  the historic buildings and the colleges. During the tour we will visit a college to give people the opportunity learn such things as how you gain a place here, what you can study and how much it costs  Also included is a visit to a college dining hall!

On return to the hotel there will be a reception featuring one the England’s finest sparkling wines and then lunch specially created by Executive Chef Tom Birks from the best of British and local ingredients with some new wines to try.
