About this activity
Following a pickup at your centrally located Oxford hotel or the railway station, start your tour at the Weston Library — near Balliol College. With your private guide to lead the way, enjoy the flexibility to plan your own route though this pretty and historic city.
Depending on your personal preferences, perhaps enjoy a sightseeing tour through the medieval heart of Oxford and admire the churches, museums and university buildings for which the city is famous. Along the way, perhaps enjoy the chance to step inside The Divinity School — widely considered among the university’s greatest architectural masterpieces.
During your tour, learn about the evolution of the university from a rag-tag collection of ungovernable halls to the center of academic excellence it is today. Gain insight into the historic feuds and foibles, achievements and ambitions that have shaped Oxford University, and hear of the famous academics, inventors, scientists, and writers who have lived and worked here down the centuries.
Afterward, finish your walking tour in central Oxford, then return in comfort to your hotel or the railway station.

My husband and I had an awesome private tour with Chris. Chris's in-depth knowledge of history, architecture and traditions of this incredibly lovely city made it very informative and enjoyable. His subtle sense of humor was obvious and so was his ability to field a lot of questions. He also gave us great recommendations for food, coffee, book stores and beautiful walks that made our day so memorable. If you are looking for something beyond the routine tourist experience, he is your guide and we highly recommend him.
