Overview

This activity concept is aimed at solo travellers who want a short introduction tour lasting typically about 90 minutes. The tour focus is variable eg about the university or Harry Potter in Oxford.

The pricing reflects the fact that this tour can only be booked by 1 person max and if you 2 persons or more, please just book one of our alternative tours listed.

Which college we may visit inside will depend on what's open and please note that if you are a Harry Potter fan, then instead option exists to see inside the Divinity school film site at the Bodleian library.

Entry fee up to £3 is included in the tour. If you may wish to see inside any other colleges, that can be discussed on the day but with any additional higher entry costs to then be paid by yourself.

The meeting point and start time is fixed and you are booking the guide for up to 90-120 minutes tour duration.

See exclusions below for dates of eg university graduation dates or Xmas dates, when few or no colleges open.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
