Overview

Enjoy a guided tour of one of England's most famous medieval haunted cities. That's right!- for example, the curiously named 'New college' was founded in 1379, literally on top of the Black Death plague pits. So no shortage of spectral monks pay visits to the college. Then we have Sir Thomas Pembroke, the inspiration for Nearly Headless Nick, who has a statue (with his head on) welcoming the youth and the souls past to make use of the eery rooms of the Bodleian library, founded in the 1400s.

Plus learn some urban legends about Oxford's rogues, shady characters and the famous female convict who was sentenced to death but miraculously survived the gallows to live to tell her tale.

Be brave and join us for a night of magic and ghoulish stories and end at a historic pub to watch the latest version of the town versus the gown waging battle of intellect and fists sometimes too!

We (3 of us) had a marvelous afternoon touring Blenheim Palace with Peter of Visit Oxford Tours. Peter was delightful, funny, accommodating and very informative. We met up in downtown Oxford and took a comfortable local bus to and from the Palace Grounds. We already had learned so much about the Palace and it’s history and current operations from Peter before we entered during the Winter Carnival. His knowledge and commentary on the grounds and the Palace including the Winston Churchill exhibit (born and married there) was very impressive and entertaining. Thank you Peter! Highly highly recommend this tour and your company.
