The renowned university city of Oxford is recognised the world over. And on this exclusive helicopter sightseeing tour for up to three people, you'll get to explore it from an entirely different viewpoint! Your take off point is from London Oxford Airport, based along the Thames Valley near the charming Oxfordshire village of Kidlington. The tours are conducted in a Robinson R44 helicopter, and as you take off, you'll be greeted by the majestic, sweeping views of the countryside almost immediately. Following the path of the A4260 Oxford Road towards the city centre, the city's famous 'Dreaming Spires' will before long come into view, and seeing the exquisite architecture of The Bodleian Library, Christ Church and New College from this vantage point is quite spectacular. Of course, it's not just that you'll see - if you're a car buff, you'll love seeing Mini's plant at nearby Cowley, or for sporting fans you can take in the Kassam Stadium, Oxford United's home ground from the air. All in all, there's no end to the sights Oxford has to offer from the air!
