Things to Know When Visiting Oxford and The University Colleges​

Tour prices do not include the entry fees the vast majority of colleges now charge, which range from £3-£8 per person paid on the day, with some discounts available. The two free entry colleges can also be visited. We also offer discounted entrance to The Sheldonian Theatre and the Divinity School.

While we actively track when colleges are open, please appreciate that the University of Oxford and its Colleges do, from time to time, close all public access to their buildings and grounds due to exams, graduation ceremonies and other events.

See What Previous Walking Tours of Oxford Clients Have to Say About Us

Just returned from UK and Tours of Oxford was one of the highlights of our trip. Tour guide was so very knowledgeable and having lived in Oxford as part of the University could give some great insight into the school. He wanted to know what we were interested in and tailored the tour accordingly. He was on no time schedule and really gave us a wonderful tour of so much of the university. Highly recommend this tour to get a feeling of what Oxford is all about.
Chris was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of history and the university was incredible, and his personality and passion shine through in every tour he gives.
While we spent 2 hours with him, I think we could have spent days chatting about British history and seeing the sites. He gave us great recommendations for dining and shopping while we were in town as well. This is a 5 star tour company, and Chris was a 5 star guide
Chris was a super guide - good fun, full of information, brought the beauty of Oxford alive with background and context. Thoroughly recommend.
Chris was a mine of information. He explained the origins of Oxford and why it became the leading centre of teaching. We adored our trip around the Bodleian, Trinity and New College - without a guide we would never have found all the treasures. We would all recommend Chris highly!
