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)

5.00This walking tour was exceptional because of our tour guide, Luke. He was friendly, funny, and extremely well-informed! We would give the tour and our guide more than 5 stars if we could! We learned so much and had a very enjoyable day.
It was a great day for a walk

5.00We had a lovely time on this tour. We enjoyed our guide, a former university student, and the variety of stories that she told us. We happened to be touring on a graduation day so it was fun to see all the happy graduates and their families.
Lovely Tour for Day Trippers to Oxford

5.00This tour was perfect for a quick introduction to some of Oxford University and Oxford City sites. The experience itself was lovely because of tour guide Lucas. He provided interesting bits of historical information and many funny anecdotes weaved throughout. It’s a semi quick paced tour of all the mentioned sites and I would have next time picked an earlier time slot then the 2pm, but only because we took the tour on a Sunday and Christ Church’s Cathedral closes early. We only got 2 minutes within before we were kindly ushered out. I would have liked more time there, but that was poor research on my part. Each site the tour takes you on only allows for a brief amount of time before the final stop but if you come to Oxford for the day, this would be a lovely tour to take. Thanks again to Lucas!!!
Wonderful walking tour in Oxford

5.00Our tour guide and student at Oxford, Antonia, was tremendous. She was very informative and told wonderful stories which briyght to life what it’s like to be a student at Oxford. Pro tip: give yourself a good hour to go through Christ Church at the end. We had to rich and get a train, and wish we could have lingered longer. Highly recommend this tour!
