Join a university-educated guide, with years of experience and local knowledge of Oxford City and colleges. See the dreamy spires of one of the oldest universities in the world on a guided walking tour. Go inside some of the city’s most historic colleges, such as New College, founded in 1379 and more recently seen in the Harry Potter films and television productions of Inspector Morse and Lewis. Visit Exeter College, founded in 1314, and another favorite on most tours. Stop by Hertford College, with its romantic façade and Bridge of Sighs, instantly recognizable from Brideshead Revisited. See the University Library and learn about the collegiate system unique to Oxford and Cambridge. Discover famous alumni who studied and taught at the university, including the infamous Dr Spooner, whose portraits hang in New College Dining Hall and whose name is given to the playful linguistic phenomenon of spoonerisms.

We had Jeremy as our guide, a very knowledgeable and friendly gentleman who guided us with passion and charm throughout the entire tour. The package description mentioned admission to the library and the college. "What's included? Admission to the library; Admission to the college." Unfortunately, this was not true because we only entered a college but not the library (only the area open to the public), which was a shame because we had purchased the package primarily for this reason.

The tour was good. Only advice I would give would be for the tour guide to project his voice a little louder.
