Join a university-educated guide, with years of experience and local knowledge of Oxford City and colleges. See the dreamy spires of one of the oldest universities in the world on a guided walking tour.

Go inside some of the city’s most historic colleges, such as New College, founded in 1379 and more recently seen in the Harry Potter films and television productions of Inspector Morse and Lewis.

Visit Exeter College, founded in 1314, and another favourite on most tours. Stop by Hertford College, with its romantic façade and Bridge of Sighs, instantly recognisable from Brideshead Revisited. See the University Library and learn about the collegiate system unique to Oxford and Cambridge.

Discover famous alumni who studied and taught at the university, including the infamous Dr Spooner, whose portraits hang in New College Dining Hall and whose name is given to the playful linguistic phenomenon of spoonerisms.

In winter, the 4pm tour includes stories of Oxford's gruesome past and ghostly tales as we wander through the historic streets in twilight. The guide will try to ensure these are age-appropriate for the group, but please be aware if bringing small children.
