This tour provides a unique opportunity to explore Oxford both on foot and by water, all in one visit. Experience the full charm of Oxford by combining a 90-minute college walking tour led by a student or graduate with a 30-minute chauffeured punting tour—a perfect way to appreciate the city’s history and beauty.

The tour takes place outdoors. If chosen during booking, AFTER THE WALKING TOUR CONCLUDES, your experience can be enhanced with a self-guided visit to New College, one of the university’s most historic and scenic colleges.

Then, without the need to arrange a separate activity, you’ll step into a traditional punt and be guided along Oxford’s quieter, more verdant side. As you glide past the Botanic Gardens, Christ Church Meadows, and the banks where Lewis Carroll once strolled, you’ll enjoy a perspective of the city that most walking tours simply do not offer.

It’s a well-rounded way to enjoy both Oxford’s rich academic heritage and its tranquil riverside setting—all in one experience.
