Bem-vindo a Oxford: passeio a pé privado de 2 horas em Oxford
Descrição
Este passeio a pé mágico é liderado por um premiado guia turístico Green Badge. Ele irá apresentá-lo à extraordinária história e às pessoas que moldaram nossa cidade de torres sonhadoras. De Alice no País das Maravilhas a JRR Tolkien, Oxford inspirou muitas histórias atemporais. Mas a sua verdadeira história é igualmente fascinante e muitas vezes igualmente estranha… À medida que caminhamos pelos famosos edifícios de Oxford e exploramos as suas universidades e faculdades de renome mundial, esta gloriosa cidade irá revelar-lhe os seus segredos. Este é um ótimo passeio se você tiver pouco tempo em Oxford ou estiver visitando pela primeira vez. Posso adaptá-lo aos seus interesses, então deixe-me saber se você está particularmente interessado em Harry Potter, Tolkien, CS Lewis, Morse, Alice no País das Maravilhas etc. taxa de entrada extra - podemos discutir as opções no momento da reserva.

Itinerário
Visitaremos o edifício mais antigo de Oxford: a torre saxônica de St Michael's, no North Gate, e aprenderemos como a Oxford medieval se desenvolveu muito antes do surgimento da Universidade.
Visitaremos a pitoresca Broad Street, onde foram queimados bispos, fundados colégios medievais e onde se encontra a maior sala de venda de livros do mundo.
A primeira obra-prima de Sir Christopher Wren, onde a universidade ainda realiza suas cerimônias. Ao lado está o Museu de História da Ciência, que contém antigos instrumentos astronômicos, a primeira cultura de penicilina e o quadro negro de Einstein.
Veremos a impressionante arquitetura gótica da Escola de Divindade e da Biblioteca Duke Humfrey - ambos locais onde Harry Potter foi filmado, e visitaremos a biblioteca Bodleian, que abriga 13 milhões de livros! A entrada na Escola de Divindade é opcional, custo não incluído.
Veremos os edifícios mundialmente famosos da Radcliffe Square, incluindo a Radcliffe Camera, a Igreja Universitária de Santa Maria, a Virgem, as Faculdades All Souls e Brasenose.
Visitaremos o New College, um dos colégios medievais mais antigos de Oxford, se estiver aberto - ou outro colégio como Balliol, Wadham ou Trinity, se não estiver.
Talvez o local mais fotografado de Oxford, certamente o mais romântico. Ele aparece em vários filmes e programas de TV, incluindo Wonka, X-Men First Class, The Mummy, Mama Mia 2, Morse/Lewis/Endeavour e Brideshead Revisited. Também esconde a entrada de uma taverna secreta e mal-assombrada!
Terminaremos no mágico Mercado Coberto de Oxford, onde você poderá fazer uma pausa para um café (e uma pausa para ir ao banheiro!) antes de continuar suas aventuras.

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!
