What to expect

With its cobbled streets, endless spires and bicycles freewheeling past you, you'll feel immediately swept up in Oxford's old-school charm. Your tour will be led by a super knowledgable and eccentric guide who will either be an actor or a university student which is fitting given that Oxford has been used for countless film locations and is home to one of the world's most famous educational institutions.

You'll pass around 9 different university colleges, learning about their history, cultures and famous past and current students. You'll also visit famous filming locations such as the Bodleian Library, used as the library in the Harry Potter films, trust us, it's like stepping into Hogwarts itself.

Whether it's magic or purely beautiful cities you're into, this tour is personalizable, shaped to your interests and requests, so you get to see the side of Oxford you've lways wanted to.

Currently in summer 2021, the tour is able to visit inside at least one university venue worth £3 per person. However, we cannot guarantee entry either as it is dependent on access to private venues and 90% of the university colleges have never opened their doors to public since March 2020 and the ones whcih have opened, could at any time, decide to close their doors once again.
