Overview

Mobile ticket
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)

5.00Lovely place to visit was my second time the university still the same only more restricted access. The grounds are beautiful… very clean and organised. You must buy tickets before you enter. Advice to buy online tickets. They have toilets outside the university grounds next to the souvenir shops.

5.00Wonderful tour with lots of interesting details about all the sites. Our guide, Sam, also interacted with the group and was keen to answer all our questions. I particularly liked the fact that admission to the various colleges was included in the fee and that the final visit was at the end of the afternoon, which meant it was less crowded at Christ Church. Excellent!
Excellent Tour.

5.00Sam was awesome and very knowledgeable about Oxford and its history. You could tell he was passionate about the subject. He kept us on pace so we could experience the ending which was time in the Christ Church. And he was very witty. Viva Brasenose.
Interesting tour.

5.00Shree was brilliant and we would do any and every tour she ever did in the future when we come back. The only downside was the last part of the tour to Christ Church. We ended up happening to Skip large chunks of that tour because it was closed off. So wedidn’t get to see the large cafeteria or parts of the church because of the time of day. I wish we had known that so we could’ve reorganized our time there so we could’ve seen more. It felt like a bit of a rip off since we had spent the money to see that part as well.
Great way to explore Oxford

5.00The tour has been amazing. We enjoyed the atmosphere in the group of 10 people, we loved the selection of the universities and sites and can only recommend to explore Oxford this way. We especially liked Jacob as our guide, as it felt like discovering the city with a friend. We've done many tours across different cities but I think this one is in our Top 3. The tour took 2h 15 min and we afterwards spent some time in Christ Church.
Oxford thru the eyes of a former student and current teacher!

5.00What better way to spend a beautiful afternoon in Oxford than with our guide Nick, who went to Oxford as an undergrad and graduate student, recently receiving his PhD and now teaching there - information and perspective "straight from the horses mouth," as they say. Nick was interesting and informative with a great sense of humor as he led us through the highlights of this historic but ever-evolving classic of learning. Highly recommended!
