What To Expect
Our guides, Oxford alumni or students, blend personal experiences with a passion for the city's history and architecture. The tour is conducted in English and takes place outdoors. Indoor access isn’t included unless booked in advance. For entry to specific colleges, request this option ahead of time.
Take a fascinating walk through Oxford, where history comes alive. Visit the meadows where Lewis Carroll first imagined Alice in Wonderland and admire stunning Gothic and Baroque architectures.
Our 90-minute tour covers highlights like Balliol College, Trinity College, Sheldonian Theatre, Bridge of Sighs, Old Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Square, All Souls College, St Mary’s Church, Merton College, Christ Church College Meadows and South Wall.
After your walking tour, you’ll be directed to the punting station. You'll be chauffeured past Oxford’s Botanic Gardens, Magdalen College School fields, Christ Church Meadows, and St Hilda’s College gardens before returning to the Boathouse.
