Oxford, Bath & Bristol with your class

Three cities, three very different personalities, one extraordinary week in England. Oxford opens with its dreaming spires and the Bodleian Library. Bath shifts the register with Georgian terraces, the Roman Baths, and an evening at the Theatre Royal for a live performance. Bristol brings the energy of a modern creative city, with a guided Banksy street art tour and a hands-on graffiti workshop. The final day offers free time in London before the journey home.
