Depart from central Oxford and head to the charming town of Woodstock. When visiting Woodstock, customers can expect a relaxed and charming introduction to a classic English market town. Customers will experience a brief guided tour of Woodstock, followed by free time to explore independently, allowing guests to browse local shops, antiques, and art galleries, or enjoy a coffee or light refreshment in one of the town’s traditional cafés or pubs.
This stop offers an authentic small-town experience and a gentle cultural warm-up before heading to the grandeur of Blenheim Palace.
Next, head to Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, and the largest non-royal place in England. Enjoy a guided exterior tour of the palace, then explore the interior at your own pace. Admire English Baroque architecture and delve into over 300 years of history in what has been a family home, mausoleum, and national monument. Discover this UNESCO World Heritage Site set within more than 2000 acres of parkland.
Return to Oxford by early afternoon, leaving you with plenty of time to explore the city.
Your guide will provide you with interesting facts, information, and recommendations when visiting both Woodstock and Blenheim.
Please note that ticket entrance to Blenheim Palace is NOT included in the cost of the Half-Day Tour. Customers will have the opportunity to purchase the entry-level they wish upon arrival to Blenheim.
