Highlights

Join us for an unforgettable evening as our costumed guide—cloaked in mystery and centuries of secrets—leads you through Oxford’s haunted heart. Beneath the dreaming spires and cobbled lanes lies a darker tale: ghostly whispers in ancient college halls, eerie echoes from long-forgotten trials, and spirits said to walk the night still. This isn’t your average history tour. With dramatic flair and spine-tingling storytelling, our in-character guide brings the city's spectral past to life. You'll laugh, shiver, and maybe even glance over your shoulder as you uncover the secrets they never told you in the textbooks. Whether you're a curious visitor, a brave local, or just love a good ghost story, The Oxford Ghost Tour promises thrills, chills, and a dash of theatrical fun. Dare to walk with us… if you’re not afraid of what lingers in the dark.

About Oxford

Oxford is England's famous university city, with honey-coloured colleges, libraries, museums and river meadows beside the Thames and the Cherwell.

Oxford has been a university town since the 12th century, and its dreaming spires belong to colleges that stand shoulder to shoulder around quadrangles and gardens. The Radcliffe Camera, a round domed library, the Bodleian Library, the Sheldonian Theatre and Christ Church, whose dining hall inspired scenes in the Harry Potter films, are the best known. The Hertford Bridge, a covered footbridge nicknamed the Bridge of Sighs, links two parts of one college.
