Overview

Building on from our standard Oxford University & City Tour (the single highest reviewed tour of Oxford) comes this extended version, which includes visiting multiple Colleges and guarantees entrance into Christ Church; allowing you to visit one of the most famous Colleges at Oxford University. Coupled with entering the Bodleian Library, this is has been designed as the ultimate Oxford experience, from the highest rated tour companies in Oxford.

Often mistaken for being the entire Oxford University, Christ Church is not only one of the largest colleges but certainly the most famous. From its links to royalty, and one of the most significant film sites for Harry Potter in England; make the best of your time in Oxford with this extended tour.

In addition to this we will be entering another historic College at the University, various parts of the Bodleian Library, along with covering the most iconic sites of the University spread around the city centre.

History of Science Museum

Famous for housing Albert Einstein's chalkboard with his markings preserved from the series of lectures he provided at Oxford.
Weston Library
  • 5m
A dramatic example of Brutalist architecture, contrasting the typically Victorian Neo-Gothic style, that Oxford is famous for. Responsible for housing over 5 million books - including some of the most important in the history of the human race, with a stunningly modern interior following an extensive renovation.
Martyrs' Memorial
  • 5m
Often overlooked, but arguably the most important religious site in Oxford. Belies the dark conflict in England between Protestants and Catholics which lead to many gruesome deaths
Sheldonian Theatre
  • 5m
Finished in 1669 by Sir Christopher Wren. This plays host to the most import ceremonies at Oxford University.
New College
  • 5m

Bridge of Sighs
  • 5m
The most photographed site at Oxford
Radcliffe Camera
  • 5m
The most iconic site in Oxford (what you normally see on the postcards). Certainly worth the hype, but is used for a far different function from what most people think.
All Souls College
  • 5m
The most exclusive academic institution in the world, home to Laurence of Arabia and some of the best traditions at Oxford University
University Church of St. Mary the Virgin
  • 5m
The epicentre of Oxford University, belying its religious foundations. Also houses some of the most detailed grotesques in Oxford.
Merton College

A unique space in the centre of Oxford, with a strong link to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Christ Church
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Christ Church is one of the most celebrated Colleges at Oxford. Nearly 500 years old it has a seriously impressive collection of buildings along with a strong Harry Potter and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland connection. The guide will provide a comprehensive external overview of the College and its grounds before you enter with a multimedia audio guide, so you can explore the vast grounds at your own pace. We recommend an hour for this - following the completion of this, the experience will have ended.
The Divinity School
  • 5m
  • Admission ticket included
The first purpose built lecture room, and one of the greatest examples of Medieval Architecture in Europe. No wonder it was used in the filming of Harry Potter and other Hollywood films! Explore this famous ceremonial building, with those who have attended the ceremonies! During peak season (June–August), access to the Divinity School is extremely limited due to frequent closures and high demand, and may not be included in the tour. While some companies may claim otherwise, we prefer to be honest upfront rather than risk disappointment on the day. If this is closed on the day, we will substitute it with entrance to another University College.
