Our Tours

Get the most from your trip to Oxford with a walking tour with an experienced local guide.

Oxford is a fascinating small city, and a walking tour is the best way to get to know it. The city is easy to visit on foot. Your experienced local guide will unlock the secrets of the city. Your guide will give you an insight into how Oxford University and the Oxford Colleges work. He/she will explain what life is like for students and academics today, and what life was like in the past. Admire Oxford’s beautiful buildings and learn about why they were built and how they are used today. Learn about some of the fascinating people who lived and worked in Oxford in the past and left their mark on Oxford and the world. Find out about how the history of the UK changed Oxford, and how people and events in Oxford changed the history of the UK.

Learn about the Oxford Colleges and how they work with the University to provide Oxford’s unique educational experience.

Your experienced local guide will help you to get underneath the surface of the city. Our guides are able to use their local knowledge to allow you to visit places and see sights which other visitors are not able to see. A visit to Oxford is not complete without a visit to one of the Colleges. All our tours include a college visit as standard, and our guides will use their knowledge to make this experience as memorable for you as possible.

About Our Tours

We run a range of tours to suit your interests, timescales and needs. Our public tours run at set times, and you share the tour with other guests. For an introduction to the City, University and Colleges, we recommend our 90 minute introductory “University and City” tour.

For a more in-depth, personal experience, we recommend one of our private tours, which we can tailor to suit your timescales and interests. We offer our tours in English or Italian, or a mixture of both!
