Official Walking Tour

A Quick and Comprehensive Experience

Our Stepping Through Oxford walking tour is the perfect choice for those who want to explore the main sites of Oxford City Centre and learn about their fascinating history in a short period of time. This tour, which is our shortest at 45 minutes, offers a condensed yet comprehensive overview of the city.

Quality-Assessed, Accessible, Guided, Walking Tours

All of our guided walking tours are quality assessed and delivered by highly trained, knowledgeable, and experienced guides. The tours are delivered in small group sizes, allowing for a more intimate experience – meaning that if you have any questions, you can always ask your tour guide!

We have recently finished working on a project that aimed to make the City Sightseeing attraction all-inclusive. Up until now, we have advised that the walking tour (referring to the free 45min walking tour) was not accessible for wheelchair users. Not anymore!  with the help of Diane Sider, member of the committee ‘Unlimited Oxford’ we worked out a route for the 45min tour (same tour same highlights same duration) which is now accessible to everyone.
