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 at Carfax Tower, found along Queen St, in the heart of the city centre, and set off on our walking tour of Oxford.

We'll begin at Carfax Tower, a 13th-century stone structure and the last remaining element of St Martin's Church, learning about its status as an Oxford landmark.

From there, we will walk to the replica of the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, linking Herford College's buildings. We'll explore 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 a significant collection of over 300 paintings by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rubens, and Van Dyck. This location was featured in the filming of some scenes from Harry Potter.

During the tour, we'll discuss interesting facts about Oxford, such as the requirements to study at the university and notable alumni, including links to J.R.R. Tolkien.

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