Indoor access isn’t included unless booked in advance. For entry to specific colleges, such as New College, request this option ahead of time. Our 90-minute tour covers highlights like Balliol College, Trinity College, Sheldonian Theatre, Bridge of Sighs, Old Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Square, All Souls College, St Mary’s Church, Merton College, Christ Church College Meadows and South Wall. Take a fascinating walk through Oxford, where history comes alive. Visit the meadows where Lewis Carroll first imagined Alice in Wonderland and admire stunning Gothic and Baroque architectures.

Itinerary

  • N/A

    Meet your Alumni Guide outside 12 Broad Street, by the red post box. They will be wearing a blue hat with the Alumni Tours logo on (or other item of Alumni Tours uniform), and will check you in for your tour.

    10 minutes

  • Balliol College

    Gain an overview of one of the oldest universities in the world while admiring the first of many architecturally grand buildings.

    5 minutes

  • Trinity College

    Take a look into some of the strange traditions that come with an old and prestigious university. From pranks to tortoises, student life certainly isn’t boring here!

    5 minutes

  • Sheldonian Theatre

    Learn about the 13 busts visible atop the pillars, and get an insiders’ correction of a common misconception.

    5 minutes

  • N/A

    Hear about the intricacies of the Oxford graduation ceremony, and, if possible, take a look inside the Divinity School which was famously used in the Harry Potter films.

    10 minutes

    A library with a long history, find out about some of the treasures kept among the 12 million books here.

    5 minutes

  • Radcliffe Camera

    A dome that is famous for being one of the Oxford Dreaming Spires, and a Camera which has nothing to do with photography? Contradictions abound here, and your guide will make sure you don’t get lost in them!

    5 minutes

    All Souls is a very prestigious college which requires an incredibly stringent examination to be completed by all prospective students. Your guide can give you examples of past questions; how do you think you would fare?

    5 minutes

  • University Church of St. Mary the Virgin

    The University Church is a great location to understand some of the tensions between so called ‘Town and Gown’, and of course is a stunning building to appreciate!

A delightful morning in Oxford

Published on Sep, 2024

This was such a perfect way to get oriented to & immersed in the history and culture of Oxford University during our one day there as part of an extended England visit. Our tour guide Savannah was super pleasant, knowledgeable, cheerful, and patient with our many questions. A real delight. I was a little nervous about the last minute unavailability of Christ Church College for our originally expected time for the self-guided portion of the tour; however, the tour company (Oxford Alumni Tours) was good about arranging for a later time which worked fine with our schedule (if it hadn’t they offered a partial refund). We (2 couples) were very happy with the experience.
