This is a tour I've put together because of my love of the River Thames. From a young age I used to play by the banks of the river and still today I spend much of my leisure time there. Most people are familiar with the River Thames the large river that flows through Central London.
But on this tour we see a very different side of the river as it narrows and meanders through picturesque towns and beautiful countryside in a very special part of England rarely seen by tourists.
After our relaxing journey we will arrive at the University city of Oxford. Here we will walk around its historic cobbled streets exploring together the stunning architecture of the universities that's has educated so many well-known figures including JRR Tolkein, CS Lewis, Lewis Carroll and a number of British Prime Minister's. Its enchanting architecture has also been the backdrop for many movies and TV shows including Harry Potter and Inspector Morse.
