A Journey Through Oxford’s History
Oxford has been at the centre of English history for over a thousand years, from being one of Alfred the Great’s chosen cities, to the invention of the Astra-Zeneca covid vaccine. Traverse the historic streets and see the famous landmarks of the city and the University, while our expert guides share with you their knowledge of Oxford and its stories over the centuries.
With many of our guides current students or alumni of the famed Oxford University, you can catch a glimpse into life here and now or be immersed in the lives of the people of the past and how they shaped Oxford, such as the Oxford Martyrs, King Charles I, and C.S. Lewis amongst others.
Walk around the architectural monuments recognised around the world, such as the Radcliffe Camera, the Bodleian Library, and wander down the hidden passageways which lead to Oxford institutions such as the Turf Tavern synonymous with US President Bill Clinton and Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawk!
