Discover the history of Oxford, the collegiate system, and the famous alumni who studied and taught at the university. There are 38 colleges at Oxford University, but the tour will be focused on Exeter College, which continues to welcome students of the fine arts nowadays.

Learn from your local guide interesting facts about Pre-Raphaelite artists. The group sought a return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. Also, discover the history of two artists that were part of this movement, William Morris and Edward Burne Jones.

This tour includes special access not normally open to the public otherwise, to see inside the Victorian library at the Oxford Union. This venue is where our famous artists created Arthurian legend frescoes, when they were amateurs.

Finally, as and when open, we will visit Exeter College with its chapel and the Magi tapestry. A passageway from the Front Quadrangle leads through to the college's Fellows' Garden. Enjoy the best views of Oxford and spot Radcliffe Square, including All Souls College and the Radcliffe Camera.

Notice: if Exeter college is closed, I will forewarn you before the tour. However, there are alternative venues we could replace entry to a college of the university of Oxford, such as Keble college.
