Highlights
The key point of this tour is to ensure you can see all the famous sights of Oxford without having to cross check between more than one tour company and to maximise your time in Oxford by ensuring that only the most experienced 5 star rated popular guides are delegated to lead this tour. The guide will pay for a modest lunch for you and will join you for lunch too and many of the guides are students or alumni of Oxford university, so if you for example have children whom you want to inspire to create a vision that they too could one day study at Oxford, the guide will share their experience of what it is like to live in Oxford. Includes average £10 lunch & £15 entry fees, per person. Enter two colleges, including Magdalen College, where CS Lewis taught, and the Divinity School at the Bodleian Library, or one of the other university colleges such as St John's, Exeter, Balliol, or St Edmund's Hall.

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.
