- rachaelf81St Martin, UK12 contributionsWe took the 30 min tour with Dan - who was absolutely fantastic! We didn’t really know what to expect but would definitely recommend and would probably do the hour long one next time we’re in Oxford. The library was stunning and Dan made the tour interesting, funny, informative and much more.Written May 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KavehBournemouth, UK468 contributionsDreamy and Amazing. The University of Oxford could be the temple of students and professors from all around the world. Walking in the University of Oxford goes through the history of knowledge. If you are in England or want to come, you should not miss visiting the city of Oxford and the University of Oxford.Written May 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Corrina HSouthampton, UK23 contributionsWe have a Harry Potter fan in the family so we visited Christ Church specifically to see the stairs, great hall and cloisters but we were amazed at how much else there was to see!
We especially liked the Alice in Wonderland information and the the No Peel door!
This multimedia guide tour was great and we would have missed so many little details if we hadn't used it.
There's an adult tour and a family one that has some interactive games. The information on the guide tells you about unseen parts of the college and also has interviews with students and staff which I found really interesting.
We had a 10am slot so it wasn't too busy and all of the staff we spoke to were really friendly.
The toilets were clean and the gift shop was good

I was fortunate to visit at a quiet time of the day and the weather was warm and sunny. The porters were so friendly too- providing me with a map and explaining where I should go to access the grounds.Written May 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- P J TravellerKongsberg, Norway86 contributionsMajestic church right in the University area.
This place has Mahatma Gandhi on the roof. That’s more like a trivia and one might not be able to find unless you ask one of the friendly staff at reception.Written April 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lighting is best at sunset as it highlights the cotswold stone.Written October 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GeorgeSheffield55 contributionsWe were on a self guided tour of Harry Potter locations in Oxford so New College was a must to see the try from Goblet of Fire! We bought tickets on the door and we had plenty of time to explore and get photos. A must see for any Harry Potter fans.Written February 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- OldjackGreater Melbourne, Australia28,830 contributionsAlthough not open to the public the architecture of the Radcliffe Camera , built between 1737 and 1749 is interesting and worth a visit. It was originally the Radcliffe Science Library but now provides additional reading room for the Bodlian.Written January 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Teri CToronto, Canada63 contributionsExcellent views of central Oxford and its many colleges from the tower. Gorgeous interior. Interesting exhibits to read in the attic. Christopher Wren’s first building. We walked around Oxford for hours and this was the only entry fee we paid. Definitely worth it.Written April 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- sheepygoldlondon5,339 contributionsWe came in to visit a memorial bench. We had a good look around the gardens which are beautifully maintained with the grass in the quad being particularly spectacular. Don't miss the chapel.Written September 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- nowpackingDallas, TX3,231 contributionsWorth the small admission fee to stroll through the beautiful gardens, visit the chapel and the gorgeous dining hall!
The oldest college in Oxford, founded in 1263! Incredible history…Written July 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Should take about 40 mins to see as the whole complex is quite small, but beautiful, with several enchanting quads. Chapel is a highlightWritten January 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- john eLondon, UK2 contributionsWonderful tea and scones in marvellous dining hall. Like sitting in a Harry Potter movie. View from fellows garden one of the best in Oxford.

- louiseholisticPenarth, UK1,395 contributionsA pretty place with the Thames in full flow during our visit after a lot of rain. Luckily it was dry so we were able to look around and enjoy the atmosphere. Be wary of aggressive cyclists sharing the towpath. Many don’t possess bells and assume priority.Written March 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
