Oxford

Considered one of the England’s most beautiful cities, Oxford is a town worth visiting on any trip to the United Kingdom. As the setting of the third oldest university in the West (after Bologna and La Sorbonne), Oxford has a beguiling mix of sites on offer from the university’s colleges and quads to Christ Church Cathedral and Modern Art Oxford, one of the region’s leading galleries of modern art. Other highlights include Magdalen College, the Bodleain Library, one of the oldest libraries in Europe, and the Venetian style Bridge of Sighs. Unsurprisingly due to its impressive backdrop of historic buildings, Oxford has been the setting for a long list of novels and films from Alice in Wonderland to Brideshead Revisited and, more recently, the Harry Potter films. Just outside Oxford lies Blenheim Palace, the birthplace and ancestral home of Winston Churchill, considered to be one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture in the country. The Palace is also the site of the famous Woodstock Literary Festival which takes place in September every year.

Client Testimonials

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!

Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!

Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!

Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India.

Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
