Overview

*SMALL GROUP TOUR - NUMBER RESTRICTED - *QUALIFIED GUIDES* The tour capacity is approx half the size of other group tours in Oxford and guides are fully qualified - members of The Institute of Tourist Guiding and The Oxford Guild of Tour guides. We are delighted to offer this 'Oxford Highlights' tour to experience the very best of Oxford. Meet at Christ Church memorial gardens for this comprehensive walking tour of the university and see many of the famous colleges and university buildings. Find out how Oxford works and why it is here. Learn about the many famous people who have studied here. This tour represents outstanding value for money as we keep our groups small in size - this allows you to ask questions and interact and for the guide to tune into particular interests. NOTE; 4 pax required to be able to operate this tour and we reserve the right to cancel.

Itinerary

  • Christ Church

    This is a small group tour and half the size of many other tours in Oxford. Start the tour here and admire the architecture of probably the most famous college in Oxford. Many tours do not see Christ Church (from the outside) and we believe this is an excellent place to start the tour and hear an orientation of how it all began. This also gives you an overview to visit Christ Church independently in the afternoon should you wish.

    10 minutes

  • Christ Church Meadow

    Stroll through the meadows with your qualified guides, here we are surrounded by the two rivers - The Thames and the Cherwell. View the Meadow Buildings at Christ Church.

    5 minutes

  • University Church of St. Mary the Virgin

    Hear how important this church is in the history of Oxford.

    5 minutes

  • Radcliffe Camera

    Marvel at this iconic Oxford building located on Radcliffe Square. Your guide will tell you about the history of not only the Camera but the colleges that are also located in this area - Brasenose and All Souls.

    10 minutes

  • Bodleian Library

    Walk through The Old School Quadrangle, admire The Tower of The Five Orders, see The Radcliffe Camera, go inside The Weston Library. The Bodleian Library has a deep and fascinating history and your qualified guide looks forward to telling you the history.

    15 minutes

  • Sheldonian Theatre

    Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and the ceremonial hall of Oxford University

    5 minutes

  • Clarendon Building

    Providing an entrance way to 'Oxford University'

    2 minutes

  • Bridge of Sighs

    Linking two sides of Hertford College, this famous bridge cannot be missed when visiting Oxford

    5 minutes

  • Oxford

    Simply the best way to see Oxford is on a walking tour with a qualified guide! All guides members of The Institute of Tourist Guiding and The Oxford Guild of Tour Guides so you can be assured of a quality tour. Each tour is unique, does not follow a script and the best route will be chosen on the day to maximize your time in Oxford and in conjunction with opening times of the colleges. The tour will cover all the main sites of Oxford (from the outside) including The Bodleian library, The Radcliffe Camera, The Bridge of Sighs, The Sheldonian Theatre, University Church, All Souls College, Brasenose College and much, much more!   For any Harry Potter or Morse fan's - there will be a few mentions along the way (but do book a themed tour if you are an avid fan!) Tour will finish in a central location with plenty of suggestion for what to do for lunch and beyond! Don't take our word for it - read over 1000 5 star reviews on TripAdvisor where we are number 1 for tours in Oxford.

A wonderful way to visit Oxford

Published on Nov, 2024

Heidi did an amazing job accommodating all our expectations and joys from watching countless episodes of the TV series Inspector Morse/Lewis/Endeavour that the tour is based on. She also incorporated many interesting historical facts and stories about the very old university town, and completed the tour so I could catch my train back to London on time. Heidi was also very responsive to all my email enquiries and has a lovely sense of humour.

Morse, Lewis and Endeavour private group tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Absolutely brilliant walking tour. We booked a private group Morse, Lewis and Endeavour walking tour in Oxford. Our guide was Alistair who was so knowledgeable and an excellent guide. Would highly recommend.

A Great Tour with Heidi

Published on Nov, 2024

Heidi was great! She was very personable and informative. She catered to us on the tour once she found out we were fans of Harry Potter. She was also very fun to talk to in general! Thank you, Heidi!

Top-Notch Experience!!!

Published on Nov, 2024

We could not have enjoyed our Endeavour, Morse, Lewis tour more with Rebecca. Her timing, knowledge, and delivery were all impeccable. She shared many interesting facts about key locations from a historical perspective as well as highlighting their significance in the series. We were extremely pleased with every part of the tour and are now inspired to further explore Oxford and even see all three of these programs again to understand the clever aspects that we missed before. Bravo, Rebecca!!!
