Details

Just outside London’s bustling streets lie two of England’s most storied destinations: the regal town of Windsor and the scholarly city of Oxford. Uvacars LTD offers a seamless way to experience these iconic locales in a single day, combining rich history, architectural grandeur, and comfortable private transportation.

Begin your day admiring Windsor Castle, the world’s oldest inhabited castle and a working royal residence that has stood for nearly 1,000 years. Walk the Long Walk, an impressive 2.64-mile tree-lined avenue leading directly to the castle, framed by sprawling green parkland and mature oaks. The vistas here capture a sense of England’s monarchical legacy and lush countryside outside the capital.

From Windsor, journey to Oxford, known globally for its prestigious university founded in the 12th century. Uvacars LTD provides private transport, allowing you the flexibility to take in Oxford’s historic colleges at your own pace. Wander through cobblestone streets to see classical spires, Bodleian Library’s medieval reading rooms, and Radcliffe Camera’s distinctive dome. The fusion of heritage and academia creates a cityscape unlike anywhere else.

What makes this tour special is the freedom and comfort offered by the private vehicle, making the day relaxed rather than rushed. Unlike public tours by coach, Uvacars LTD adapts to your timeline and interests, blending two of England’s most compelling outdoor cultural sites into a single, accessible adventure.

From Windsor’s royal green spaces to Oxford’s collegiate cloisters, this trip offers a uniquely curated snapshot of English history and landscape, perfectly suited for travelers wanting to complement their London visit with a dose of heritage and timeless charm. Uvacars LTD stands out in the outdoor recreation scene by bridging iconic outdoor walks with rich urban cultural heritage, all served with a practical, personalized touch.
