OXFORD PUB CRAWLS
The good oxford pub crawls sell out on Fridays and Saturdays weeks ahead. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Travel from London in a small group of up to 16, with an English-speaking guide and a comfortable minibus. Walk through Oxford, enter the medieval Divinity School, then follow narrow lanes to Burford, Bibury, the Coln Valley, and Stow-on-the-Wold. A pub lunch and drink are included, with a vegetarian option available.
“Mike was absolutely lovely as our guide! Would highly recommend this one”
Start at the Market Tap in Oxford’s Covered Market at 6 pm, then walk through Broad Street, Radcliffe Square, and three historic pubs. Guide Will combines Oxford history with cask ale tasting, including stops at the White Horse, Turf Tavern, Bear Inn, and Royal Blenheim. The group is limited to six people.
“Our guide, Will, was excellent. Great balance between history of Oxford, the various points of interests and the local pubs. Visited 3 pubs, all of which had very interesting histories and excellent beers! Would definitely recommend this tour!”
Walk Oxford’s twilight streets with a private local guide such as Peter, hearing tales of student antics, ghosts, famous alumni, and university life. Visit about three central pubs, including the Turf Tavern, while seeing the Bodleian Library and college exteriors. Your first half pint of local ale or beer is included, but college interiors are not.
“The tour guide, Peter, was excellent. He is a native of Oxford and very knowledgeable.”
See Oxford’s Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Camera, Bridge of Sighs, Christ Church, and historic pubs on three English-language walking tours. Join them together or spread them out, then use the sightseeing app for self-guided routes to Port Meadow, Oxford Castle, Jericho, and more.
“Our guide was great story teller. Really good know about history of different colleges”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Carfax Tower for a 90-minute walk through Oxford’s pub history. Hear tales of Tolkien, Bill Clinton, Detective Morse, and old drinking customs while passing The Bear Inn, St. Aldates Tavern, and The Lamb and Flag. Your ticket also includes six self-guided audio walks for later.
“Great guide - Jeremy- who was knowledgeable, interesting and amusing. Just husband and me, so quite intimate and easy to get around the streets. We discovered some fascinating places in Oxford that I didn't know existed. I would recommend this tour especially in the summer when it would be a bit warmer!”
By the kind of crawl, or by the city it starts in.
