PLEASE READ
This tour requires a minimum of 8 people to run. While it is rare this is not met, during winter months it can occur. Our Oxford University & City Tour (a pre-paid tour - click here for more info) is a far more reliable tour which goes inside the University, in small groups and will run with even just one booking. We do not recommend doing both.

A Wealth Of History In A Fun Way
The tour covers a vast range of different topics, all explained clearly and accessibly by our University-educated guides. We take you through the story of Oxford, from the city’s beginnings as a humble Saxon town through to its current position as a world-famous seat of learning and culture. Oxford has been around for nearly 2000 years. Give us two short hours, and we’ll tell you this amazing story from start to finish!

No Boring Tours
All of our Oxford walking tours are delivered in such a way as to ensure you don’t fall asleep! We hate dry, boring tours that don’t engage their audiences. History doesn’t need to be boring, and with so many big names and events having been tied to Oxford (as well as the University having so many bizarre traditions and funny stories), we see no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy every single minute of your tour experience.
