We will start with a whirlwind overview of Oxford as the central player in 1,000 years of British history, and giving guests an understanding of how the sprawling institution operates before embarking on the tour. Navigating down the windy alleyways we will get an insiders take on the little known viewing angles that bring across the drama of the world famous architecture in this city. With striking spires and imposing buildings, we will cover how these influenced Tolkien, C S Lewis, along with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Once COVID-19 closures have been lifted, we will enter one of the oldest Colleges at Oxford, renowned for its beautiful gardens, before heading into one of the most famous Library's in the world - responsible for over 13 million books. Capping this off we will cover a Harry Potter film site, along with why the most powerful religious figure England has ever seen, was burnt alive in the centre of Oxford, on what is now such a nondescript part of road you could easily miss it. Please note: Colleges and the Library can shut without notice and currently they are unavailable. If this changes on the day we will of course incorporate them!

All the time, you will be walking in the footsteps of famous authors, film stars, scientists and politicians. Do you know what Oxford’s biggest gift to mankind is? Don’t worry I will tell you.

Le centre-ville d’Oxford est une concentration de tout ce que vous voulez savoir. Dans une région relativement petite, il y a des centaines d'années d'histoire que nous allons vivre en marchant quelques heures. Nous allons visiter les sites célèbres et en apprendre la culture, les raisons et l'histoire derrière ce que nous voyons. Nous entendrons parler des personnalités célèbres d'Oxford, qui ont façonné le monde et en ont appris davantage sur leur monde. Nous découvrirons également d’autres endroits cachés, ceux que les touristes (et de nombreux habitants) ne connaissent pas. Je soulignerai les lieux des films de renommée mondiale et la magnifique architecture cachée. Ceci est une visite pour de très petits groupes car je veux que vous vous sentiez à l'aise et capable de poser des questions. S'il y a une exigence particulière, il suffit de demander et je ferai de mon mieux pour vous satisfaire. La plupart du temps, ce serait votre propre visite privée. Nous nous rencontrerons devant l'hôtel Randolph, sur Beaumont Street, en face du musée Ashmolean et commencerons notre aventure à partir de là. Autres remarques Mes visites sont adaptées aux familles et les enfants de moins de 10 ans viennent gratuitement. Nous traverserons de nombreux magasins au cours de notre promenade où vous pourrez acheter des boissons et des collations si nécessaire.

A small-group walking tour is the best way to see Oxford, a vibrant city steeped in history with amazing architecture & the prestigious Oxford University. Enjoy a relaxed & informative tour any time of the year come rain or shine with a small group of people. You will see Oxford's most famous sites, discover parts of the city that many visitors don't see, see inside a college (*), hear about Oxford's literary greats & visit Harry Potter film locations. Along the route, you will see ancient buildings, colleges, theatres, libraries, a market, gardens and a tranquil river. We visit a Gelateria for award-winning gelato or the best hot chocolate, then later an ancient pub to cool down in the summer & warm up in the winter! Most Oxford tours are with large groups lasting just 90 minutes, whereas guests who have taken this small group, 2.5-hour tour, love its intimate & relaxed nature, plus they enjoy meeting fellow travellers from the Airbnb community - I hope you do as well. Come as a stranger, leave as a friend! If you are not an Airbnb member, contact me via myoxfordtravel. During the current COVID-19 UK restrictions the health and well-being of my guests is extremely important, so measures such as face masks, hand sanitisation, group size limited to 10 and keeping to quieter areas will be applied.
