Oxford Walking Tour

Explore a historic and beautiful city on our Oxford Walking Tour. We'll stroll around the outsides of the magnificent buildings that make up the University of Oxford, which is one of the world's most prestigious universities.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll meet on Queen Street in the heart of the city centre and set off on our walking tour of Oxford.

To begin, we'll head to Carfax Tower, considered to be the very heart of the city. We'll admire this 13th-century stone tower and learn why it has become an Oxford landmark.

From here, we'll walk to the replica of the famous Bridge of Sighs in Venice, which links the two buildings of Herford College. We'll visit the outside of the Bodleian Bookshop, Radcliffe Camera, and St. Mary the Virgin Church in Radcliffe Square.

We'll also see Christ Church College, which houses an important collection of over 300 paintings by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rubens, and Van Dyck. This site was part of the filming for some scenes in the Harry Potter saga.

During the tour, we'll discuss the requirements to study at the university and some of the most famous students associated with it, including J.R.R. Tolkien.

Finally, we'll visit Broad Meadow, one of Oxford's prominent open-air public spaces. After 45 minutes exploring key locations, we'll return to the starting point to conclude the tour.
