About the experience
Product ID: 14316
One of the world's most famous seats of learning and knowledge, now you'll get to explore the renowned "Dreaming Spires" of the University city of Oxford on this exclusive helicopter sightseeing tour! Oxford University is the oldest such university in English speaking countries, all dramatic Gothic architecture, a visually appealing city centre and a hugely popular tourist attraction to boot. And on this tour, you'll get to discover just why all 40 of the Dreaming Spires are called that! The faithfully preserved churches and university buildings dominate Oxford's skyline, including All Saints, Keeble, Christchurch and Merton colleges that form the university. But you don't necessarily need to be of a scholarly disposition to enjoy this tour; for you'll also get to enjoy many of the pretty villages and towns surrounding the city as well, many of which have been used in a number of TV shows and films as filming locations, all of which your pilot will point out to you over the intercom on your headset so you don't miss a thing. You'll be departing and returning from the private airfield at Chalgrove, south east of the city and easily accessible from the A40, which also has a farm shop, restaurant and on-site bar to enjoy and relax in before and after your 30 minute flight.
