Oxford: 90 minute Architectural & Historical Highlights Tour

2.90 minute Architectural & Historical Highlights Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 23 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) Top rated

Explore Oxford’s colleges, medieval streets, Bodleian Library, and Radcliffe Camera on a lively 90-minute walking tour with Sophie.

“Our guide Sophie D. was very attentive to both our request to see certain aspects, and to our interest in learning about the rich Oxford history and experiencing the institution's rich art and architecture in general. As Americans, we were particularly unfamiliar with it's medieval-founding emphasis on religion apart from the academic rigor. Sophie was thorough in her work and we left England knowing we had achieved the best experience there with our time and funds.”
