Is it realistic to see Blenheim Palace and then take a University and City Walking Tour of Oxford at 2pm? Or maybe better to start in Oxford and do a 10:45 tour then go back to Blenheim after (open until 5:30)?
My biggest concern is parking in Oxford with our 9 person van!
I read that they recommend parking and taking the bus into town, but I'm not sure how long that will take to drive from the palace, find the parking, get in the bus, find the tour, etc.
I suppose we could skip the tour and just go on our own that way we don't have time constraints.
What would you recommend? We will be in the Cotswolds for 3 full days, and I hope to spend more time in the villages so I'd rather use just one day for these two sites, if possible.
