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)
What To Expect
Balliol College
Argued to be the oldest College at Oxford University

5.00An excellent introduction to Oxford. Our guide Thorstein had a great knowledge of history, which he presented in an engaging and entertaining manner. The self guided audio tour of Christ Church College was clear and comprehensive. The combination of guided and self-guided worked well.
Well worth it!

Great Oxford tour with Will

5.00My wife and I visited Oxford as a day trip from London. We booked this tour to get the most of our time and we weren't disappointed. Will, our guide, was great. As a graduate student he was able to not only give us history but also some insights into how the university worked and how students lived and interacted. Highly recommended - this longer (3 hour) tour is a great balance.
Daily Life in History

5.00An outstanding experience! This was my third time visiting Oxford, but the first guided tour. Our tour guide, Will, was an experience in itself. His knowledge, rapport, and tidbits brought the city to life. Definitely recommend Footprints Tours. The viewpoints given by current students uncover daily life in an historic place. Five stars!
Totally worth it!

5.00Will was a great guide with tons of inside knowledge and plenty of history facts! I truly believe had I had another guide I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much. As lovely as Oxford is, Will made the difference and rolled with the schedule working around exams.
A day well spent.
