Oxford Highlights Walking Tour: from the Randolph to the Heart of the University

Perfect for conference guests or visitors with limited time, this short but immersive walking tour offers a sweeping introduction to Oxford’s thousand-year story.

We can collect you directly from your hotel, for example, the Randolph, and end at your central Oxford destination, such as the Divinity School, your restaurant or conference location.

Starting and finishing in the city centre, the route follows the thread of Anglo-Saxon city, the growth of the University, and the life of its colleges today. Along the way, you’ll discover the landmarks that shaped scholarship, faith, and creativity in one of the world’s most remarkable university cities.

Scholarship, libraries, legends, religious upheavals, and art movements punctuate over a millennium of Oxford’s history. You’ll be entertained, surprised, and informed by this lively walk that brings the city’s evolution vividly to life.

Created originally for a conference taking place at the Randolph Hotel and leading guests to dinner in the Divinity School, this flexible walk is now available at any time of day. It’s ideal for individuals or groups on a tight schedule who still want to experience the essence of Oxford.

Price: The same rate applies whether you are travelling alone or with a group of up to 21 friends or colleagues.
