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)

5.00We followed Megan for two hours. Then she left us at Christ College which was not very well attended at 16:00. It's been wonderful. Megan is full of enthusiasm and the fact that she was a student is exciting.
Amazing tour - highly recommend doing it!

5.00Such a good tour!! Ricardo was an amazing guide! Stayed level headed whilst managing technical difficulties and interruptions from the public. Most importantly though, he was super knowledgeable and entertaining. He gave great detailed on Oxford the town, on the important people there, and a lot on the university and places we went too. He also kept the information interesting, relevant - loved the jokes too! The only thing is I wish we had more time for Christ church exploration - but that’s more on the college itself. Would very much recommend the tour!!!!!! And Ricardo as a guide!

5.00Alex was our tour guide and WOW. He definitely reignited the flame of love i have for history. He was so engaging and knowledgeable and witty. 10/10 experience and im so happy i did it. Im even more grateful because our train had gotten canceled so we would have missed our original tour time, we emailed the tour site and theu responded super quickly and almost immediately helped us squeeze into a later tour time. Everything about this was awesome, just do it!
Perfectly engaging and informative

5.00Getting to see Oxford University is a dream come true. Ricardo, our tour guide was very knowledgeable. It felt like he was just having a conversation with you. Didn't feel that he was reciting froma speech. He was friendly, funny and answered all my questions. My husband said I was the only one asking questions but that was because I was interested and it made it interesting to hear. 10 out of 10👍
An amazing day in Oxford!
