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)

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Riccardo - he was full of great history and fascinating stories of Oxford, and is himself a recent graduate. The tour was engaging and the addition of Christ Church was excellent The tour also ensured that we were fully aware of the specific opening and closing times of different parts of Christ Church so that we could ensure we saw everything. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent Tour of The University of Oxford

5.00This was a well‑rounded and truly excellent tour. Our guide, who completed both her master’s degree and PhD at Oxford, provided a fascinating overview of the university’s history from its inception to the present day, while also offering insight into both past and current student life. She was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtfully answered every question from the group. My 14‑year‑old niece hopes to attend Oxford one day, and she was completely captivated—she stayed by our guide’s side the entire time and was absolutely thrilled with the experience. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and far more rewarding than simply walking around on our own or listening to an audio guide. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the historic buildings and 43 colleges that make up Oxford University.
Entertaining and informative

5.00Niko was knowledgeable about all things Oxford—the university, the town, and the student experience. He was funny and engaging and kept the tour moving all through campus telling stories, both personal and historical. We really enjoyed it and it felt special and intimate. The Christ Church add-on was definitely worth it, amazing place with lots of explore. Recommend it!
