2 Hour Private Walking Tour in Oxford

About this activity

Visit the stunning buildings of the University, dating back 900 years up to modern day. We will learn how the University works, what makes Oxford unique and the history of the town itself.

We will visit at least one College or University building (depending on availability). I will show you some of the beautiful green spaces Oxford has to offer, as well as the varied architecture.

Oxford has a long and varied history that I look forward to sharing with you. I love telling the amusing stories and strange traditions we have here.
