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)

5.00I guess my opinion is slightly distorted, in that I was the only person on the tour. Effectively, it was a private tour and this in itseslf was excellent (for me, at least). I thoroughly enjoyed it. The young lady who guided me was very engaging and I enjoyed her personality and sense of humour. I certainly learned a lot from her, more than from two of my friends who actually studied in the city.
Informative and fun

5.00Loved it! Having a phd student do the tour gave us a lot of in depth knowledge I don’t think we would have gotten from anyone else. Riccardo was brilliant and the pace of the tour was great. Some great tips given for what else to see for the remaining of the day too.
This is a world class tour of Oxford, not to be missed.

5.00One of the best tours we have taken. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative. He was a graduate student at the University. He focused on telling us the most important items about Oxford University. We had an extremely small tour. It was just my wife and I and another couple, four in total. Guide was extremely personable and wanted to ensure that the tour exceeded our expectations.
Excellent way to experience Oxford!

5.00This was an excellent tour from start to finish. Jamie did a great job of explaining the history of everything she showed us in an interesting and informative way. Having a current student as a guide was awesome! She told us the ins and outs of the different colleges, including all kinds of fascinating details and stories. Highly recommend this tour!!
Friendly walk around Oxford

5.00Our tour guide, Saga, was very cheerful, if not chilly, and extremely knowledgeable about the city. Being a student of the university she was passionate about the history and culture of the school. Not normally a fan of walking tours, would highly recommend this one.

5.00On a freezing but sunny day, Arron was so informative and entertaining on this excellent tour. For me having limited time, it was well worth the price to go into Trinity and Christ Church colleges and hear from a current student curious tales of Oxford life. You could book these college/Divinty School visits independently but Arron added so much to the experience. A well-timed toilet/coffee break was included. Also consider a (free) church service in Christ Church Cathedral, such as sung evensong.
Book a tour with Jaime, you won’t regret it…

5.00Jaime was an excellent tour guide. Attentive, informative and patient, with great humor. Despite the 3-hour length of the tour and freezing weather, we had a really great time and got an amazing tour of Oxford University.
Absolutely to do!

5.00The tour was truly amazing, as was our guide Jamie! Getting to know a city through the eyes of the students who live there is something unique and special. Even if the cost is a bit high I would definitely do it again!
Loved our tour of Oxford

5.00Jamie was a fantastic tour guide with interesting stories about the history of Oxford and student life! Our experience seeing Trinity College, Bodleian Library, and Christ Church was very smooth, as admission cost was included in our tour. It felt well-paced, and we had two opportunities for facilities/quick coffee. Highly recommend!
