Building on from our standard Oxford University & City Tour (the single highest reviewed tour of Oxford) comes this extended version, which includes visiting multiple Colleges and guarantees entrance into Christ Church; allowing you to visit one of the most famous Colleges at Oxford University. Coupled with entering the Bodleian Library, this is has been designed as the ultimate Oxford experience, from the highest rated tour companies in Oxford.
Often mistaken for being the entire Oxford University, Christ Church is not only one of the largest colleges but certainly the most famous. From its links to royalty, and one of the most significant film sites for Harry Potter in England; make the best of your time in Oxford with this extended tour.
In addition to this we will be entering another historic College at the University, various parts of the Bodleian Library, along with covering the most iconic sites of the University spread around the city centre.

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)

5.00Highly recommend this tour, we had Sam Day as our guide, he was engaging and friendly and had a wealth of knowledge about his beloved Oxford that he wanted to share. Great sense of humour and took the piss out of the USA which was excellent, although he did also diss the All Blacks and Tottenham Hotspurs but I’ll forgive him 😉. Great way to get a feel for this historic town and way better than wandering around with a guidebook or your phone. AAAAAAAA +++++++++++
Sam is an amazing tour guide!

5.00The 2 hour tour was well worth the time and cost. Great value and Riccardo our tour guide was excellent. Lots of knowledge and very skilled at keeping us entertained with historical antidotes. I liked the headsets provided by footprint tours so you could hear Riccardo. Oxford is a beautiful town and the tour enhances your trip. The tour of Christchurch college was also great. Footprint handled the ticket purchases and the hand off to get inside was flawless.
Best tour for a hard-of-hearing person in Oxford!

5.00I am so glad I booked this tour - from the small group, to the breadth of history knowledge our tour guide Ricardo had, and the additions of the headsets linked to Ricardo’s mic so we could clearly hear him no matter where we were (a HUGE deal to me as I’m half deaf and usually have to be up front, facing a tour guide directly and still can’t quite catch it all. Honestly, more tours need to be done this way).
Well done with the history of the good, scandalous, and beyond
