I Love Oxford Walking Tours was established in Oxford in spring 2011 and offers guided historical walking tours departing outside the Oxfam shop, 17 Broad Street (located next to Oxford Tourist Information Office), OX1 3AS.
Tours cost £8 and depart at 11.00am, 1pm and 2.30pm. Depending on numbers and the season, we may also offer tours at 12, 2 and possibly 4pm. Finally, there is a very eccentric pub tour on Saturday nights from 8pm. Other nights can be arranged if requested. It also costs £8 but includes 1 free drink.
N.B. The Pub Tour requires minimum 4 people to book in advance and it departs from outside Saxon Tower and KFC on Cornmarket street. The pub tour welcomes local people out for a night out in Oxford too, in conjunction with www.OxfordNightsOut.com.
On a final note, you can use your tour ticket or flyer to save money in over 40 local businesses- wherever you see 'I Love Oxford' postcards or posters in shop, cafe or tourist attraction windows!
Are you an Oxford local?
If you may have friends or family visiting Oxford, bring them along on a tour to find out about Oxford colleges and Oxford's history too? Locals who join our tours can return again for free, as many times as you like! N.B. We are currently also hiring English speaking & foreign language guides!
PLEASE NOTE: We can offer private tours pre-booked in English or several other languages. If you ever should turn up at the meeting point and find no guide there, please ask inside the Oxfam shop or just call or text me on 07955 482637.

Advice for I Love Oxford Traders on How to use this site:
1) To Contact Members, visit > 'All Members' then >Click on a member's profile page. Send them a public 'Greeting' (like posting a facebook wall message) or click on 'Mail' to send them a message, confidentially and directly to their registered email inbox.
3) To Create an Event Listing or Invitation, visit 'Home' then > 'Lets' > then enter the event details descriptions- as asked for by website. Note that when you create an event invite, it will ask you, 'Do you want to email to members?'. I would prefer you DO NOT EMAIL as it is my preference that you post the event on our site without sending event news by mailing list. If you send me a greeting and request to use the mailing list, I will then decide on whether or not to send out your event news by mailing list too.
