Tours and Trails - Walking Tours

With its pedestrianised areas, tucked-away lanes and gated  roads, Oxford's compact city centre is best explored on foot.

Walking tours of the city centre, conducted by the  Guild of Guides, leave the Tourist Information Centre in Gloucester Green daily.  Tours last 2 hours and include admission to colleges open to guides on that  particular day. Tickets are available from the Information Centre (or direct  from the guide outside if the centre is closed). Numbers are limited to 19  people per tour and tickets are sold on a 'first come, first served' basis.  Tours run daily at 11.00 and 14.00 from the Information Centre. Additional tours  leave the centre during busy periods, subject to demand.

Cost: adults £6.00, children under 16 £3.00. Children must be accompanied by an  adult.

In addition, there are two tours that leave the  Tourist Information Centre on Saturdays at 11.00 and 14.00. This tour includes  admission to Christ Church.
