Good to know

  • At Christ Church, your guide will provide an in-depth external overview before you enter independently with a multimedia headset created by the Christ Church team.
  • During peak season (June–August), access to the Divinity School is extremely limited due to frequent closures and high demand, and may not be included in the tour. While some companies may claim otherwise, we prefer to be honest upfront rather than risk disappointment on the day. We will substitute this site with another College entrance, if not available on your day.
  • If you select Pickup option (the more expensive one) the meeting point will be the London address (Gloucester Road Tube Station), otherwise its the Oxford one (15 Broad Street, Oxford)

Interesting and Informative Tour

Our guide Luke was running a little late for the tour, but soon got into his flow. A very informative tour taking in Trinity College, the Bodleian Library, the Sheldonian, Radcliffe Camera and Christ Church. The two hour tour is full of lots of interesting facts about both modern and historical events at Oxford. Christ Church is a self guided tour with an included headset which you can do at your own pace. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend to others.

Oxford walking tour extended

Had a great walking tour including entry to Christchurch. Tour guide was a student and provided history and interesting stories behind various sights as well as student life. Weather was usually hot, but Tour guide kept us in shade as much as possible.

It’s a must do for all historical interested people who come to London/Oxford

It was a really lovely tour full of facts about the history of the college and how famous stories came to be in these halls.

Great guide and nice tour

Alex E, our guide, is experienced and knowledgeable to Oxford University. His sharing is great. Brilliant time management. What different from my expectations is the places we visited is far less than the itinerary. May be the itinerary is aggressive. I joined the tour for my kids who interested to study in the University but struggling for choosing which college. Therefore, missing some planned colleges would be the only thing disappointed us in this trip.
