Tis early dawn-and all around
Bright dewy flowers I view,
Uprising from the fertile ground,
Of every form and hue.
Flowers ~ Thomas P. Moses
A classic 60 minute chauffeured punt tour of the College Backs is paired with a visit to the University Botanic Gardens for a 90 minute walking tour with an expert guide. The walk includes a history of the Botanic Gardens, visits to the main features of the 19th and 20th Century Gardens, and any seasonal or special interest plants.
The tour lasts two and a half hours, not including the transfer time between the Botanic Gardens and the punt station, which are approximately one mile apart. The two parts of the tour are taken consecutively as standard, the second part being sceduled to start 30 minutes after the end of the first.
Tours must be pre-booked by phone no less than two weeks in advance, and are available throughout the year. At present this service cannot be booked online.
