Beschrijving
Discover the strange and scandalous stories of Oxford on a guided walking tour. Hear tales of myths, curses, odd customs, and terrible behavior as you explore the city.
Meet your guide and set out on a walking tour of Oxford. Hear the whole strange story of Oxford, from Vikings, Saxons, and Normans to the rise of the modern university.
For over a thousand years, the “Ox-ford” has found itself at the heart of English history, and over the last 800 years its dreadful dons, unruly students, curious customs, and ridiculous incidents have given us plenty to talk about.
This is not a tour for people who want a long, serious lecture about different types of arches. Odd Oxford is for people who want to learn by laughing. Expect an entertaining walk through the city’s streets, packed with dark anecdotes, absurd traditions, historical scandal, and the wonderfully weird stories that make Oxford so memorable.
Discover how Oxford became one of England’s most famous cities. Meet the students, scholars, saints, and scoundrels who shaped its story. Hear tales of myths, curses, odd customs, and terrible behavior. See Oxford’s iconic sights from a more irreverent and entertaining angle. Enjoy history that is clever, funny, and anything but dry.
Along the way, your expertly entertaining guide will lead you through some of Oxford’s best-known streets, squares, and taverns, sharing the tales that polite guidebooks tend to leave out.
