The wonders of Christ Church Oxford: Private Tour

Christ Church is my favourite place to take visitors in Oxford, because it is home to so many wonders. I'm lucky enough to be one of the few guides accredited to take private tours inside. The college caps these at 5 people, so they are very exclusive! Christ Church is the most famous college in the world's oldest English-speaking university, unique in having a chapel that's also a cathedral. It has been a place of worship for 1300 years, founded by a feisty Saxon saint before Oxford even existed. Over time it became home not just to 1000s of scholars but to the real Alice in Wonderland and, more recently, a famous boy wizard. I invite you to travel back in time via the spectacular Tudor dining hall, miraculously rescued ancient shrine, carved throne of doomed King Charles I, fabulous Hogwarts staircase and rare medieval stained glass windows to get a history of not just the college, but England itself. IMPORTANT: I'll need to check the college's availability before confirming.

The ancient streets are filled with the atmosphere of student youth, perseverance and determination – the best of the best study here. This place is perfect for informal walks in the company of local guides. Whether you're interested in the mysteries of antiquity or architecture, the Harry Potter filming or university, or all of the above, there are many interesting themed tours of Oxford to choose from!

Oxford's sights are elegant and intellectual. There are 38 colleges at the university, and visitors are most often interested in Christchurch, Magdalen, Trinity and Merton. Some of them can be seen from the inside. The magnificent Bodleian Library consists of several buildings, the most prominent of which is the Radcliffe Rotunda. The Sheldonian Theatre is a traditional venue for university events. Fans of antiquity will be drawn to the Ashmole Museum of Art and Archaeology, but there are plenty of open-air antiquities in and around Oxford.

Within the city limits, Old England is represented by Oxford Castle and Carfax Tower. In the surrounding countryside, where local guides will be happy to take you on a tour by car, you will be enchanted by such unique monuments as the White Horse (an artifact of primitive times), Dorchester Abbey, Waddesdon Manor and Blenheim Palace.

Oxford and its suburbs are full of memories of famous people who lived, studied and created here. "Centers of attraction for many of them were the city's pubs. For example, in "The Eagle and Child" sat Lewis and Tolkien, and in "Turf Tavern" – the future president of the United States Bill Clinton. It is impossible not to touch these time-keepers and sit in them with a pint of ale.
