Good to know

  • As Oxford University is a working institution, some sites may close without notice. In such rare cases, we’ll show you the best available alternatives, inform you of any major changes in advance, and offer a refund if needed.
  • 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)

In town for business and...

In town for business and was lucky enough to have an afternoon for this tour. It was so informative and entertaining and at an easy pace. It hit all of the sights as expected but with so much extra storytelling and history. Our guide, Ross, was the highlight of the tour and I would recommend a tour with him to anyone. Five stars.

Best first visit to Oxford

We had such a lovely time on this tour and it made our first visit to Oxford all the more special. Hannah was an amazing guide and we loved her personal notes about life in Oxford. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone we know and suggest they ask for Hannah as their guide. Congrats again on your graduation Hannah!!

Unique insight into the colleges!

Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable while also making the tour very interesting. Lots of neat stories of the traditions and what it’s like to actually be a student there.
