The city of Dreaming Spires hardly needs an introduction.  Oxford is a city of big ideas, inspiring movements which have shaped Christianity in this country and around the world.

​

Who will it suit?  

Most groups are mixed in age and background, and will include some who are unsure about the Bible, and the tour will be pitched accordingly.  You have to be physically able to walk between sites. 

What will you see?

On the basic tour, you will see the Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Square, the Martyrs Memorial, St Mary the Virgin church, and the Oxford colleges from the outside. We will see sites associated with:

1. John Wycliffe

2. William Tyndale

3. The Oxford Martyrs

4. John Owen

5. John Wesley and George Whitefield

6. John Henry Newman

7. CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien

Sites included on the more expensive tour are one or more of the Divinity School, climbing one of the dreaming spires, and the interior of an Oxford college

These walking tours typically last 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, the longer tour being recommended with a coffee break in the middle to 'digest the first course'.  Usually available on Saturdays.  Other days may be possible on request.
