Windsor Cliveden Oxford
fantastic day trip planned
- Service Used Tours
- Chauffeur Car Range Rover Autobiography
Assignment Background
We were asked by one of our clients, a travel agent in the US, to plan an out of town day trip for an ‘energetic’ and lovely couple who were visiting London for two days on their way back home from Paris. Given the brief – some heritage sights, a lovely lunch and dinner back in London later that evening – we planned a perfect day setting off early in the morning towards Windsor Castle, then across to Cliveden House followed by some lunch and then onto Oxford. For the day, our Range Rover Autobiography was their vehicle of choice.
On our way – Windsor, Cliveden and Lunch
Our Chauffeur picked the lovely couple from their hotel, The Renaissance, adjacent to St Pancras International, very conveniently located for Eurostar. After a comfortable 55 minute drive, we arrived at Windsor Castle where they were dropped off for a tour of the inner grounds. We made sure to purchase the tickets in advance in order to avoid the queue and ensure a smooth experience. Reservations for lunch were made at Sir Charles Napier Inn situated in the small Oxfordshire village of Chinnor, making a well worth detour to the amazing gastro pub on our way to Oxford. Travelling back to London, there was enough time to stop off at Cliveden House for a walk around the gloriously landscaped gardens and some breathtaking views of this historic country estate.
A Hidden treasure in Chinnor
After lunch, back in the luxury of our Range Rover, the couple settled into the comfortable seats, connected some wonderful music to its crisp Meridian sound system and took in the beautiful views of the countryside. Upon reaching Oxford, our guests were dropped off close to the pedestrian entrance to the picturesque and historic streets leading up to Radcliffe Camera and College of All Souls. Our chauffeur arranged to meet up at the same location when they were ready to leave. Pleasantly tired, having enjoyed a full day of wonders in the English countryside, our guests were looking forward to dinner and enjoyed the relaxing ride back to London in the plush Range Rover, where they couldn’t help catching a quick snooze. Our Chauffeur made a few restaurant suggestions and the couple chose the magnificent culinary Asian delights of Chutney Mary in St James. After a sumptuous meal, our guests were well and truly spent and returned to their hotel for a thoroughly deserved rest.
Service complete
Our chauffeurs are quite used to improvising on the go and extend as directed bookings that may go on all day and into the evening. We always accommodate our clients’ wishes to ensure all their needs and requirements are met.
We have been using Coralia and Ofer as a company for our VIP’s for over 6 years. Ofer and the team are consistently reliable, flexible and we fully trust them to complete all jobs to a high standard so much that Coralia is also used for personal work. This includes regular trips to the country side, bookings for children (and the equipment required) and even the collection and delivery of important and/or confidential documents.
