Oxford Walking Tours

Oxford Walking Tours have been operating outside Trinity College Gates, Broad St for 26 years. Our University educated guides come with years of experience and local knowledge of the City and University.

"We chanced upon Stuart this afternoon and are delighted we did! He provided an excellent and informative tour around the old colleges. He clearly knows and loves his city and is a real Oxford gem. The 90 minutes flew by and we're still smiling at his humour. Thanks Stuart. We've given your details to our hotel proprietor so he can send more people your way"
Paul and Diana, Kent

The day tours go into the oldest colleges including New College, founded in 1379 as seen in the Harry Potter films, and television productions of Inspector Morse and Lewis.

Exeter College, visited on most tours, was founded in 1314, seen in the final episode of Morse. Hertford College, founded in 1282 seen in Brideshead Revisited. All tours go to the University Library. Admission fees into the colleges are included in the ticket price, unlike most other walking tours of Oxford.

On our tours you will learn about the history of the city and the university. We will explain the collegiate system of tutorial unique to Oxford and Cambridge. Discover the famous alumni who studied and taught at the university. Go inside the oldest college dining hall, chapel, cloisters and quadrangles.

"It was a great day and got much better because of the tour. I would recommend that to you all. Very useful and comprehensive and Stuart generousely explained every thing. Don't be afraid of walking as you need to walk to see Oxford. Beside you never get tired as the tour is interesting. After all its really worthy as you don't have to pay entry fee while you are on the tour. Thanks Stuart"
