Escape to Oxford has been recognised as 'Walking Tour Company of the Year in the South East' part of the prestigious European Awards 2025. Tours are restricted to around 10 persons making for a more personable experience. This has proved to be a winning feature of our tours. Daily tours commence at 11 am, 12 am and 2 pm. Oxford boasts what is possibly the finest collection of historical buildings in the United Kingdom. Our Classic Oxford Walking Tour takes visitors on a 90 - 120 minute meander through 1000 years of architectural and social history. We visit a number of iconic university and college buildings, discuss their origins, architects and purpose, while providing a rich vein of social history of the town and university. Among the sights you will see are Christ Church, the 11th century University Church of St Mary, the famous Radcliffe Camera, Bridge of Sighs, and much more. Where possible we will take clients inside university and college buildings.
