Oxford Walking Tours have been operating from the blue gates of Trinity College on Broad Street for over 30 years. Our University educated guides come with years of experience and local knowledge of the City and University.
The day tours go into the oldest colleges including New College, founded in 1379, and seen in the Harry Potter films and television productions of Inspector Morse and Lewis.
Exeter College is visited on most tours, was founded in 1314 and is seen in the final episode of Morse. Balliol College, founded in 1263, educated more 20th century British prime ministers than any other college. All tours go to the University Library.

Discover the famous alumni who studied and taught at the university. Go inside the oldest college dining hall, chapel, cloisters and quadrangles.
