Meget betydningsfuldt i den vestlige verdens kulturhistorie, det allerførste specialbyggede offentlige museum.
Bygget i 1913 tilføjer den ikoniske Sukkenes Bro et romantisk touch til vores gåtur.
Oxfords berømte High Street er en historielektion i sig selv, ikke kun med hensyn til de colleges, vi ser, hvor folk som CS Lewis, Shelly, Bob Hawke og Bill Clinton studerede, men dens fascinerende arkitektur, der strækker sig hundreder af år tilbage.
Kør gennem den smalle snoede og berygtede Magpie Lane til High Street.
Beliggende på Radcliffe Square, selve hjertet af Oxfords verdenskendte universitetsområde, vil besøgende finde sig selv omgivet af historie på alle sider. Det var her det hele begyndte!

Nick such a great guide! Showed me all around Oxford and answered all my questions and took pictures for me. He was very patient and sweet and I loved my tour with him! He is passionate about Oxford and you could tell. Thanks Nick!!
Thank you for such a lovely review and supporting Escape to Oxford. It's always a pleasure to show our visitors around this special City.
Cheers to our wonderful tour guide, Nick! Our tour maxxed out at I think 10 people (which is part of why we chose it) but it ended up being just my husband & me, so we essentially had a private tour. Nick's knowledge was extensive and he imparted it in such an interesting way. We were provided a wonderful lay of the land -- it was a perfect way to being our two-day stay in Oxford.
So pleased you enjoyed the tour and thank you for supporting Escape to Oxford.
I came to Oxford before but this is the first time I scheduled a guided tour. This was amazing. Everything can be done by foot and I learnt a lot during this tour (which went way beyond two hours). Nick truly loves this city and I could appreciate it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I wish you all the best.
Thank you for your special review and supporting Escape to Oxford. It was a pleasure to show you around the City and hope you return again one of these days.
Our guide knew his stuff but was very hard to hear and understand. Often turned away from us to talk. Had nothing to help identify him other than a small badge on a lanyard. Very hard in such a busy meeting spot. Appreciated the access to places that we might not have otherwise known about.
I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your tour with Escape to Oxford - this is very unusual. Thank you for your comments and we will endeavour to improve our future tours accordingly.
Wealth of information shared by our guide, Andrew. Oxford has so many historical sights and we experienced so many in the 1.5 hour tour. Stunning city not to be missed!
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you for your positive review.
My mother and I enjoyed this tour. Andrew was a great guide. I liked hearing about the history of Oxford. We even saw a few places where Harry Potter was filmed. Would definitely book this tour again!
Please come back. There is so much more to see!
This was the highlight of our stay! We were a group of 4 and no one else was on our tour. Andrew was delightful. He was friendly knowledgeable and took us on a tour of the sights and a selection of colleges. We were told many historical facts and also shown Aslan from Narnia Highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for your positive review. I hope you all enjoyed the rest of your visit to Oxford.
What a treat! Andrew was entertaining and informative. He provided great insights into the City, colleges and other institutions we visited, had terrific anecdotes, and was so knowledgeable. Especially loved visiting the Divinity School, Bodleian Library and Blackwell's Bookshop.
Thank you for supporting Escape to Oxford. I pleased you enjoyed the tour.
Andrew was a delightful guide who took my wife and me on on a tour of several colleges and libraries. He has genuine insight into the history of the area and is well versed in the workings of the University system and its colleges. I never got the feeling he was simply going from a rehearsed script. Time well spent.
Thank you for your kind words. I am pleased you enjoyed your Oxford experience.
We really enjoyed the tour with this excellent very knowledgeable guide. Glad we got to see the beautiful divinity school and loved the little tidbits about the famous Oxford grads.
Thank you for joining Escape to Oxford. Come again, there's lots more.
