Private chauffeur tours of Oxford and day trips to Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds — plus transfers from London and the airports.
Oxford, the "City of Dreaming Spires", sits around 56 miles north-west of London and is home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world. First Class Chauffeurs offers private day tours and door-to-door transfers to the city — whether you are visiting the colleges, combining Oxford with Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds, or travelling on for business.
The drive from central London takes around 75 to 90 minutes via the M40, depending on traffic. Oxford's historic centre has very limited parking, so a chauffeur is the most relaxed way to arrive: you are dropped at the heart of the city and collected when you are ready, with no park-and-ride or parking charges to manage.
Oxford: colleges & dreaming spires
The university and its colleges are the heart of any visit — from Christ Church, the grandest and most famous, to the honey-coloured quadrangles tucked along the back streets. Close by stand the Bodleian Library, the Radcliffe Camera, the Sheldonian Theatre and the Ashmolean, the world's first university museum. The centre is compact and best explored on foot, so your chauffeur waits nearby while you take in the city at your own pace. A guided private Oxford tour is the easiest way to see the highlights without the logistics.
Beyond Oxford: Blenheim & the Cotswolds
Oxford pairs naturally with the surrounding countryside. Blenheim Palace — a UNESCO World Heritage Site, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and home of the Dukes of Marlborough — lies just nine miles north, about twenty minutes away by car. From there it is a short drive into the Cotswolds and its honey-stone villages. For a fuller day, Warwick Castle and Stratford-upon-Avon are also within comfortable reach. We can build any of these into a single private tour tailored to your interests.
