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 knowledgeable 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 always wanted to.You can book this tour to start either at 10.30 am (but morning tours must be booked no later than 9.00 pm, the night beforehand) or at 12.30 pm or 2.30 pm. Please make known your requested start time when you book! Since our public tour runs at 12.30 pm, if possible, please request to book at 10.30 or 2.30 pm start time.Currently, in summer 2021, the tour can visit 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 the public since March 2020. The ones which have opened could at any time decide to close their doors once again. As this is a private group tour option, if you may wish to visit inside any other second venues, your guide can usually arrange that subject to their being open. Still, with an extra entry, a cost is paid directly as an extra charge on arrival.NOTICE REGARDING REQUESTS FOR ANY TOURS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES:Any requests for tours to be led in other languages require at least 24 hours notice and probably longer. If we can only deliver your tour in English, we will advise you of the fact, and then you may request to cancel for a refund if you prefer.
See most of the famous sights on a guided walking tour. Explore and be inspired by the ancient city of dreaming spires. Visit at least one college or the Harry Potter Divinity school film site
