Oxford
About
This magical walking tour is led by an award-winning Green Badge tour guide. It will introduce you to the extraordinary history and people who've shaped our city of dreaming spires. From Alice in Wonderland to JRR Tolkien, Oxford has inspired many timeless stories. But its real history is just as fascinating, and often just as strange…
As we walk around Oxford's famous buildings and explore its world-renowned university and colleges this glorious city will reveal its secrets to you.
This is a great tour if you only have a short time in Oxford or are visiting for the first time. I can tailor it to your interests so let me know if you are particularly interested in Harry Potter, Tolkien, CS...

Itinerary
1
St. Michael at the North Gate
We will visit the oldest building in Oxford: the Saxon tower at St Michael's at the North Gate, and learn about how medieval Oxford developed long before the University emerged.
5 minutes
2
Broad Street
We will visit picturesque Broad Street, where bishops were burned, medieval colleges were founded and the largest room in the world selling books can be found.
10 minutes
3
Sheldonian Theatre
Sir Christopher Wren's first masterpiece, where the university still holds its ceremonies. Next to the History of Science Museum, containing ancient astronomical instruments, the first penicillin culture and Einstein's blackboard.
5 minutes
4
Bodleian Library
We will see the stunning gothic architecture of the Divinity School and Duke Humfrey's Library - both locations where Harry Potter was filmed, and visit the Bodleian library, home to 13 million books! Entry to the Divinity School is optional, cost not included.
20 minutes

New College
We will visit New College, one of Oxford's oldest medieval colleges, if it's open - or another college such as Balliol, Wadham or Trinity if it isn't.
40 minutes

Bridge of Sighs
Perhaps Oxford's most photographed location, certainly its most romantic. It features in multiple films and TV shows including Wonka, X-Men First Class, The Mummy, Mama Mia 2, Morse/Lewis/Endeavour and Brideshead Revisited. It also hides the entrance to a secret, haunted tavern!
5 minutes
