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.

Additional Info

Wheelchair accessible

Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller

Public transportation options are available nearby

Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap

Transportation options are wheelchair accessible

All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible

Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness

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)

Riccardo was a great guide. We learned a lot about the university and history of Oxford. It’s a small group tour that we would recommend.
Amazing!

The Oxford tour with Footprints was the seventh walking tour of our UK holiday (the others were all in London) and proved to be the best by far. Oxford was a delightful change from London, in the sense that it is more relaxed, quieter, and so much less crowded. The main drawcard for this tour, nevertheless, was our guide, Nick. Nick has a PhD in history from Oxford and his love of all things historical shone out throughout the tour. His approach was not overly cerebral - our ten-year-old daughter was captivated by his stories and my wife and I greatly appreciated his sharp sense of humour and regular links of the historical with the contemporary. The design of the tour was impressive – with quite short walks between the stops. There was a mix of architecture, history (personalities, events, intrigues), politics, and current life as a student in Oxford (we even know the best college for meals). Nick was incredibly responsive to questions, and no topic came even close to stumping him. He was proficient in Latin, seemed knowledgeable in Ancient Greek, and his ability to conjure relevant quotes was marvellous. If he is typical of a modern Oxford scholar, then it is certainly an institution to aspire to. In terms of transportation, we opted for the pickup from Gloucester Road tube station. Our driver (and guide), Dougall, was early (a good thing) for both the onward and return journeys. The vehicle was modern, clean and spacious. Dougall impressed us with his safe and relaxed driving. He also gave engaging commentaries for part of each trip. The journey proved quicker than advertised (also a good thing), and my sense was that we reached Oxford in just over an hour. In terms of administration, the process and information were straightforward and clear, with just the right amount of follow-up/confirmation. Overall, the Footprints package was, in our experience, first-class in all respects. Peter

Sam was incredible! Having studied at Oxford and achieved a doctorate Sam is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining in his appreciation and understanding of Oxford. Sam has enlightened us to see Oxford in an extraordinary light. A must tour to be able to comprehend the enormity, complexity, beauty and power of Oxford university and the city around it.

Today we attended the extended Oxford university tour with Riccardo. Worth every penny. When they say you will be guided by an Oxford University alum they’re not kidding! Riccardo is very knowledgeable, answered every question we had (not all about Oxford but he was a treasure trove of medieval history it was a shame not to pick his brain). In this intimate setting (they keep the groups small) we enjoyed hearing about the history of the city of Oxford, the University, and secrets that the walls keep all while walking around the different college grounds. We had a fantastic time, had lively and interesting discussions among all of us and certainly laughed a lot. We made good memories. Thank you Riccardo!

We 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!
