Given our desire to maximize the experience of Oxford and Cambridge for our registrants, we have arranged for the following tours at a minimal additional cost.
These tour times will not compete or conflict with other Oxbridge programming. However, space is limited, and these tours will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
