Description

Step into the heart of Oxford on a guided walking tour led by a university student or graduate, offering a unique insider’s perspective on this iconic English city. Over 90 minutes, you’ll explore historic streets, admire stunning Gothic and Baroque architecture, and discover the stories behind famous landmarks such as the Sheldonian Theatre, Radcliffe Square, and the Bridge of Sighs.

Your guide will share personal anecdotes and fascinating facts about Oxford’s academic traditions, student life, and the creative minds who found inspiration here, from Lewis Carroll to J.K. Rowling. The tour is entirely outdoors, allowing you to soak up the city’s vibrant atmosphere while wandering through college lanes and meadows.

If you choose the optional New College entry when booking, your experience continues with a self-guided visit to one of Oxford’s most picturesque and historic colleges. This visit takes place after the main walking tour and offers a closer look at the college’s stunning interiors and tranquil gardens, subject to seasonal opening times.

Tours are available in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish, making them accessible for a wide range of visitors. The group size is kept small, ensuring a more personal and engaging experience. The meeting point is easy to find, right by the red pillar mailbox outside 11 Broad Street, where your guide will be waiting in a blue uniform item with a heraldic shield.

Wheelchair users and families with strollers are welcome, though some areas may have uneven surfaces. The tour is designed for all fitness levels, but be prepared for a steady-paced walk with no scheduled breaks. Secure your spot now to experience Oxford through the eyes of those who know it best.
