The tour

Oxford

Oxford rewards a slow day. The colleges, the Bodleian quarter and the Radcliffe Camera sit within a few streets of each other, and with a car waiting outside the ring road you avoid the park-and-ride entirely. Families visiting for open days or interviews use the same day to see the city properly.

Why this tour

  • Central Oxford is closed to most traffic — a chauffeur drop-off at the edge of the pedestrian core is the fastest way in.
  • A full day allows the colleges in the morning and Blenheim or the Cotswolds in the afternoon.
  • Frequently booked for university open days, interviews and graduations.

Key stops

  • Radcliffe Camera and the Bodleian quarter
  • Christ Church and Broad Street colleges
  • Covered Market and High Street
  • Bridge of Sighs and New College Lane
  • Optional river walk at Christ Church Meadow

Questions

Oxford: frequently asked

Can we go inside the colleges?
Some colleges admit visitors for a fee and some do not, and access changes during exams. Your chauffeur will tell you what is open on the day.
Is this suitable for a university open day?
Yes, it is one of the most common reasons guests book it. Tell us the schedule and we plan the day around your appointments.
Can we add the Cotswolds?
Yes. Oxford and the Cotswolds is a ten-hour day and one of our most booked combinations.
