Explore two historic colleges, enter Christ Church, and discover Oxford’s landmark libraries on this extended three-hour city tour.

About this tour

Discover Oxford’s storied colleges and landmark libraries on an extended Oxford University and city tour, with guaranteed entrance to Christ Church. Over three hours, explore two historic colleges and see iconic university sites spread across the city center.

Your guide shares an external introduction to Christ Church, one of Oxford’s largest and best-known colleges, before you enter independently with a multimedia headset created by the Christ Church team. The tour also includes the Weston Library and parts of the Bodleian Library, bringing Oxford’s academic history and architecture into view. Along the way, hear about Christ Church’s royal connections and its role as a film location, including links to Harry Potter.

University buildings can close without notice, and Divinity School access is especially limited from June through August. If a site is unavailable, the tour may substitute another college entrance. Choose the Oxford meeting point or the optional London pickup when booking, then make the most of your time exploring Oxford’s university heritage.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.89 from 597 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.1. Top 12% in London means it ranks in the top 12% of tours in London by this score.
