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)

This was at the pricier end of the tour options but we'll worth it. As an Oxford graduate, our guide, Megan, was extremely knowledgeable and told stories of the past, facts, culture and modernity with humour and enthusiasm - articulating clearly and keen to invite questions. She brought history to life: excellent.
Highly recommend!!

Will was witty, knowledgeable, full of great stories and timely. He led us through so many great colleges and other interesting sites. He had hints for lunch afterwards and special instructions for Christchurch. It was even super cold and he was sensitive about getting us out of the wind and into the sun. Highly recommend!!

It was a great tour and I recommend it a 110%. Our guide was Jacob and he was incredibly nice and his witty humour was so welcome in an otherwise grey and cold Oxford day. We got to learn a lot about the city and the colleges, as well as some good-spirited digs at Cambridge University. Overall, really worth it!
Great tour in Oxford!

Absolutely a must do tour of Oxford University. Our excellent guide, Jacob, is an experienced scholar having completed his undergraduate, master’s and doctorate education at Oxford. His wealth of knowledge and erudite but amusing anecdotes really gave us an engaging introduction to this iconic university. This was an immersive tour and Jacob is an outstanding guide and educator.
Very nice experience!
