The wonders of Christ Church Oxford: Private Tour

Overview

Christ Church is home to many wonders, and 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 thousands 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.

    We will start in the glorious Christ Church meadows, then visit the college and cathedral. The itinerary includes: - The jaw-dropping Tudor hall where kings, queens and the real Alice in Wonderland have all dined. - The stunning fan-vaulted staircase where Harry Potter was filmed. - Tom Quad where Oxford University students live and work, King Charles I mustered his troops during the Civil War and Sir Christopher Wren built a famous clock-tower. - The ancient cloisters where monks once roamed. - Christ Church cathedral where we will see the glorious fifteenth-century vaulted ceiling, St Frideswide's shrine and a range of stunning stained glass from medieval times, through the Pre-Raphaelites to the modern day. This tour is dependent on Christ Church being open to visitors on this day. When you book I will check with the college.
