One of Oxford's oldest colleges (possibly THE oldest, but it's up for debate!)
Founded in 1555, home to one of Oxford's loveliest garden spaces.
Architecturally impressive theatre designed by Sir Christopher Wren, where students both matriculate and graduate.
You will enter the Divinity School, one of the oldest parts of the Bodleian Library Network, known for being a Harry Potter filming site.
An iconic symbol of the city that connects the two sides of Hertford College.
Built in 1748, part of the Bodleian Library and one of the most iconic buildings in Oxford - find out why from your student guide, with a beautiful external view of this famous round build from all angels!
Home to the best traditions of any College at Oxford - and possibly the most academically prestigious institution in the world.
The historical epicentre of Oxford University.
Part of the Bodleian Library, we enter the modern grand entrance hall, to discuss the collection of over 12 million books and how they keep them in such great condition. The architecture is stunning, with a creative use of light - and a nice contrast to the other parts of the Bodleian covered on the tour.

Alejandra Ruiz was a magnificent guide. Great explanation. Ten out of ten
Alexandra was a great guide. Her explanations were clear and interesting for all of us: children and adults. Thank you very much for being so nice.
We really enjoyed the tour — it was fun, very interesting, and our guide, Jimena, was fantastic! She made the experience engaging and shared so much interesting information. One small suggestion for improvement: it would be helpful to update the address included in the confirmation email, as it currently lists “5” instead of “15” for the street number, which caused some confusion when trying to find the meeting point. Overall, a great experience that I’d definitely recommend!
Our guide was the best. We saw Oxford in really enjoyable way. The experience was really funny when the guide realised that we are member of University of Cambridge
Excellent experience, Alexandra our guide told us in detail all the historical facts of the city and many anecdotes, very interesting and a very good storyteller, we went with children and they also enjoyed it a lot, I recommend doing these tours to get an overview of the city.
An excellent tour with Alexandra Ruiz. A very pleasant girl who explained everything to us perfectly. Highly recommended.
Very good experience, Alexandra was very nice, giving good information, interesting facts, and it is clear that she likes and is interested in the history she teaches, everything was very pleasant and fun. (Also good recommendations)
Alexandra was charming, she explains everything great, and it is clear that she loves this city, a lovely person.
Unbeatable experience, Alexsandra Ruiz was the guide and we could not have been luckier. She explained everything super well, it is very noticeable when a guide likes their job and loves a city. Thank you very much for everything.
Today we did the walking tour in Spanish with the guide Alexandra Ruiz. The experience was really very good. Recommended.
very entertaining and interesting tour I recommend doing it with the Colombian guide (I don't remember his name) knows a lot about the place and brings a lot of grace to all the stories
We loved this family tour of Oxford. I highly recommend it. On this tour, we were accompanied by Alexandra, a very nice girl who knows a lot about the subject, explains everything very well, and gives you very good recommendations.
We have done several tours in other places, but definitely Alexandra has been one of the best guides we have ever had.
Exceptional for the guide we had, Elmer, a great professional who enriched us with his great knowledge of history, anecdotes in a pleasant and entertaining way. A 10 a visit thanks to our guide, Elmer
Exceptional 2-hour tour in Spanish with Elmer, a truly professional, entertaining and detailed guide. It demonstrates in-depth knowledge and organises the tour perfectly and without omitting the historical contexts that help to understand the origin, evolution and present of Oxford University. Guide 10.
Our guide Jimena has been very nice and fun. The tour has been very entertaining and enjoyable. Recommended to spend two very pleasant hours.
Excellent tour. The explanation was very complete and at the same time enjoyable, thanks to Alexandra. Highly recommended, rating his passion for what he does. An experience of 10.
We took the introductory walking tour to Oxford. Our guide was Alejandra Ruiz Castillo, a young Colombian student at Oxford University, who dedicated herself to her work, in Spanish, with incredible creditworthiness and warmth. It was a very pleasant and enriching experience. With history, film representation, and current life. We strongly recommend it.
The tour was great. The guide, Alexandra, a current Oxford student, explained everything very well, as well as being very nice and friendly, quite a professional. We found the tour fantastic. We would repeat without hesitation. A 10 for Alexandra and for the tour.
Eye!!! Great lack of professionalism, do not book Oxford Spanish tour,!!! We booked our tour weeks in advance, planned the day of visits to Oxford only for the tour that was only on Sundays. What a disappointment to find that the guide Cristina did not appear. More than 20 people left with no tour and no plans in Oxford. No explanations, no apologies from the company or organization. They sent us an email after sending several messages , 45 minutes after the tour time, just to say that the tour was cancelled. A wasted day!
What a real disappointment! We had booked a tour at 11 and no one has shown up and without any explanation. Never before has this happened to us on a free tour.
La pasamos muy bien en el tour, hermoso Oxford, Adrián nuestro guía estuvo excelente! Seguramente será un muy buen guía profesional.
Nos ha encantado. Adrian nos ha llevado por todos los puntos mas emblematicos de Oxford, aportando datos historicos. Ha sido muy agradable y cercano. Ainara
Lamentablemente las indicaciones para el punto de encuentro son deficientes. Llamamos por telefono a la agencia y no entendíamos el lugar donde encontrar al Guia, Pedimos a una persona que escuchara a la persona de la agencia pero tampoco entendia y lo pero es que le corto la comunicacion, Supuestamente esta persona que nos ayudo entendió que era en la esquina donde vendían libros. finalmente vimos un grupo de gente , nos acercamos, pero la guia en español ya se habia retirado, Lo que creo que no funciona es que no tienen una señalización adecuada como por ejemplo los tour gratuitos de Sandeman que estan siempre con un paraguas que se visualiza facilmente a una cuadra del lugar. la verdad es que confiados en que haciamos el tour con una persona no pudimos planificar el dia y perdimos el dia una lastima , Esta organización footprints tienen que mejorar, las indicaciones
La visita con nuestra guía Mar fue myy interesante y agradable. Todos hemos disfrutado de las historias. Lo recomendamos !
Realizamos el tour a pie de dos horas aproximadamente (tal y como recalcó la guía al principio, por si acababa antes que no nos quejaramos) por Oxford el pasado viernes 16 de Agosto. Es cierto que el propio día no acompañaba porque no paró de llover en toda la visita. Eramos un grupo numeroso, acompañado de paraguas, por lo que se hacía difícil escuchar las explicaciones de la guía, pero ella no ponía nada de su parte para hacerse oír. Explicaciones muy vagas y demasiado subjetivas. Una guía debe dar datos e información, y omitir su propia opinión. Por ejemplo, añadía muchas referencias a Los Simpsons y el grupo con muchas personas adultas no entendían esos comentarios.
El pasado Viernes 16 fuimos con mi novia a Oxford y tomamos el tour en español de las 12:30hrs. Desafortunadamente esta lloviendo pero a pesar de eso el grupo era enorme (diria que mas de 40 personas) en un comienzo y la guia ni siquiera tenia un microfono por lo que era casi imposible escuchar entre la lluvia y la cantidad de gente. Respecto a la guia la verdad es que nunca supimos su nombre y nunca se preocupó por el grupo. Las explicaciones de los lugares eran pobres y no tenia casi nada de contenido historico. Para finalizar igual le dimos propina por respeto a su trabajo pero ni siquiera nos dio las gracias. Una lastima ya que nos hubiera encantado haber sabido mas sobre la ciudad y su historia ya es muy linda.
Nuestra guía Jasmine, fue muy divertida, hace la visita muy amena, y hace participar al grupo con preguntas , y eso está muy bien. Una manera muy recomendable de conocer diferentes lugares de la universidad de Oxford.
El recorrido ha sido bonito pero la información incompleta y la actitud de la guía inadecuada. No lo recomendamos.
Una gran experiencia muy amena, educativa y divertida con Romina como guía. Una chica espectacular y muy cercana que nos descubrió las peculiaridades y curiosidades de la universidad de Oxford haciendo la visita mucho más entretenida. Recomendamos 100% esta actividad, no os arrepentiréis!
