City & University Tour, including College entry

Take a guided walk through the city of dreaming spires with one of our experienced guides.  Our daily city and university tour will take you into one of the oldest university colleges, exploring the historic dining hall, chapel and quadrangle. Discover the Bodleian Libraries, the iconic Radcliffe Camera, and the original University Church of St. Mary’s.

Learn about the complicated and sometimes bloody rivalry between the city and the university, spanning over a thousand years.  Your guide will explain the collegiate system of tutorials unique to Oxford and Cambridge, and the peculiar traditions, pranks and rituals that define student life.  Stories highlight literary giants such as J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Lewis Carroll, and bring you to many of the sites used for filming in Harry Potter, Inspector Morse, Wonka and Saltburn.
