Benvenuti a Oxford: tour privato a piedi di Oxford di 2 ore
Descrizione
Questo magico tour a piedi è condotto da una pluripremiata guida turistica Green Badge. Ti introdurrà alla storia straordinaria e alle persone che hanno plasmato la nostra città dalle guglie sognanti. Da Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie a JRR Tolkien, Oxford ha ispirato molte storie senza tempo. Ma la sua vera storia è altrettanto affascinante, e spesso altrettanto strana... Mentre camminiamo per i famosi edifici di Oxford ed esploriamo le sue università e college di fama mondiale, questa gloriosa città ti rivelerà i suoi segreti. Questo è un tour fantastico se hai solo poco tempo a Oxford o se visiti Oxford per la prima volta. Posso adattarlo ai tuoi interessi quindi fammi sapere se sei particolarmente interessato a Harry Potter, Tolkien, CS Lewis, Morse, Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie ecc. Se vuoi visitare un college specifico o la Divinity School dovrai pagare un costo d'ingresso extra: possiamo discutere le opzioni al momento della prenotazione.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Visiteremo l'edificio più antico di Oxford: la torre sassone di St Michael's alla Porta Nord, e scopriremo come si sviluppò Oxford medievale molto prima che emergesse l'Università.
Visiteremo la pittoresca Broad Street, dove furono bruciati i vescovi, furono fondati i college medievali e si trova la sala più grande del mondo in cui si vendono libri.
Il primo capolavoro di Sir Christopher Wren, dove l'università tiene ancora le sue cerimonie. Accanto al Museo di Storia della Scienza, contenente antichi strumenti astronomici, la prima coltura della penicillina e la lavagna di Einstein.
Vedremo la splendida architettura gotica della Divinity School e della Biblioteca del Duca Humfrey, entrambi i luoghi in cui è stato girato Harry Potter, e visiteremo la biblioteca Bodleiana, che ospita 13 milioni di libri! L'ingresso alla Divinity School è facoltativo, costo non incluso.
Vedremo gli edifici di fama mondiale di Radcliffe Square, tra cui la Radcliffe Camera, la chiesa universitaria di Santa Maria Vergine, All Souls e Brasenose Colleges
Visiteremo il New College, uno dei college medievali più antichi di Oxford, se è aperto, o un altro college come Balliol, Wadham o Trinity se non lo è.
Forse il luogo più fotografato di Oxford, sicuramente il più romantico. È presente in numerosi film e programmi TV tra cui Wonka, X-Men First Class, La Mummia, Mama Mia 2, Morse/Lewis/Endeavour e Brideshead Revisited. Nasconde anche l'ingresso di una taverna segreta e infestata!
Concluderemo nel magico mercato coperto di Oxford, dove potrai fermarti per un caffè (e una pausa per andare in bagno!) prima di continuare le tue avventure.

Best Oxford tour I've been able to source for visiting guests in nearly a quarter of a century of living here.
Jess has a real talent for making Oxford’s history fascinating. I would not hesitate to rebook.
We had a wonderful, fact filled tour with Jess. She is an absolute fount of knowledge and kept the entire group engaged for the whole time we were out. My wife and I had enjoyed one of Jess's tours previously which is why we felt good about booking the rest of the family in for a morning out. The tour was customised for us with this in mind, the best bits of the one we'd done previously and some new things for us too. We never felt rushed and every stop along the way was brought to life with Jess's vast knowledge of the history and impact of the places we were introduced to. She has a delightfully warm personable style and makes everyone feel like they're the only one there. I can't recommend Jess enough.
A stunningly detailed, informative and entertaining tour. Thank you! Really appreciated your attention to the diverse interests of the group, including the youngest participant.
Jess was simply a fund of knowledge about this historic city, and her guidance, insights, and fascinating anecdotes really brought the town to life. She really provided a great depth of information, and was very flexible about our our route, itinerary, and interests. I can thoroughly recommend one of her guided tours.
Perfectly timed, two hours was just enough to ask questions and still get to every thing. Jess is well informed and well…. Fun. She asked enough questions to tailor the tour for all. If I were in the UK longer, I’d have taken other tours from Jess. It is a possibility that we’ll be back in autumn and if we can, Jess has put Oxford on our itinerary.
Thanks so much George - do get in touch if you do come back to Oxford, there’s so much more I can show you!
This 'Rebels and Radicals' was an excellent, fascinating and original tour of Oxford sites which Jess conducted with verve and humour. We visited some interesting places around the centre of town associated with rebellious people over the history of the town starting back in the 14 century all the way to the present day. Jess was ready to answer questions and tell more stories if asked! Would highly recommend this for a group for a different, fun and thought provoking perspective on the history of Oxford, for locals and visitors.
Thanks for such a lovely review!
I joined a small group on Jess' brilliant Rebels and Radicals tour. Jess was absolutely fantastic. She told us all sorts of fascinating information about riots, rebellions, uprisings, many inspiring heroes (and at least one villain). I'm now hoping I'll remember her amazing stories to impress my friends! I would whole-heartedly recommend Jess - she's so articulate and well prepared, and I'd love to go on another tour with her. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much and please do - I have so many more stories!
Thanks so much for helping to welcome our students to Oxford. We had a new group of science DPhil students, some had lived in Oxford for years, some were new to the city (and UK). It was such a well thought out tour making sure all students were included. There were lots of new stories I hadn't heard before and it was so well tailored to the interests of their course. I really enjoyed it and learned loads. Jess is BRILLIANT
Thank you - I loved the challenge of preparing an interesting tour for this group and glad it went down so well.
Absolutely excellent tour. I'd lived in Oxford for 4 years and learnt many new and interesting facts! Really lovely!!!
Thank you, that's exactly what I was aiming for!
