Overview

Lump in the throat that comes from Alma mater nostalgia? Surge of love-hate emotions tied up with classrooms and profs? Pretty much a given…on the cobbled streets of the oldest university of the English speaking world, with your enthusiastic historian-guide.
Cover the obligatory stops, including Bridge of Sighs at Hertford College, New College, University Library, Sheldonian Theatre, Christ Church Radcliffe Camera building. Get your head around the unique college-system of Oxford and Cambridge and the infamous ‘Town and Gown Wars’. Shiver at stories of Oxford martyrs burning at the stake.
Explore movie locations - Harry Potter, Bridshead Revisited, Inspector Morse. Literature buffs can celebrate, because Oxford has inspired many works of fiction from JRR Tolkein, CS Lewis, Lewis Carroll, and JK Rowling.
Lunch with a dreamy view of the River Isis to stir up more brainpower. If you’re up for it, climb up a 74′ bell tower for a drone-view of those dreamy spires. A day well spent.

Mick Is Everything

Yolanda_M, 22-10-2022

From the time he walked up to me at my hotel to the time he dropped me off, he was so knowledgeable and kind! He asked me why Oxford and he made sure I had the best time. He knew about Morse! Omg! We went to the Eagle and the Child as well as the countryside. I recommend this private tour and ask for Mick. I also need to note that he was attentive to my needs as I had to rest during walking. He cates! I love him and Oxford!

Beautiful city, great guide

William is so nice and knowledgeable! Took us to the best historic pub for lunch. Had a great day. Oxford is a beautiful town, would love to go back.

We saw Oxford and Cotswold in a full day private excursion. Our tour guide was incredible and told us lots of history.
