About This Experience

This tour focuses on introducing famous people and events from the Reformation era but also introduces other religious names from before and after the Reformation and Counter Reformation period.

You will also earn all about Oxford city & university history and traditions plus student life and how the university developed.

This tour can be booked at a range of start times but please note there are much more colleges open afternoons than mornings, so ideally preferable to book afternoon tour.

Requests for a tour in Dutch must be received at least 2 days in advance and the Dutch guide does not work weekends or Mondays.

Tour Itinerary

10 min

20 min

We often may include £3 entry fee to see inside the Divinity school at the Bodleian library as this is where the theology students did their oral exams in Latin, dating back to the 15th century.

Which colleges or churches we may visit inside of can change lots from one day to the next and based on what time you may book the tour but we plan to visit inside at least two local churches and one college or more which have the most relevance to introducing the theme of this tour. Oxford cathedral has evensong service at 6pm every day and you can then enter Christ church for free to attend that event. Otherwise, Christ church charges £18 per person entry.
