Discover Oxford with Terrible Tours
Oxford is a city layered with stories; from Saxon warriors and Norman rule to its rise as one of the world’s most famous university cities. Along the way, it’s been shaped by eccentric dons, outrageous students, fashionable dandies, and the occasional deeply questionable doctor. At Terrible Tours, we peel back the centuries with humour, curiosity, and just the right touch of mischief.
We offer two unique tours in Oxford:
Odd Oxford – History Tour: Perfect for the curious and those who enjoy history served with a healthy dose of humour. Wander through Oxford’s streets uncovering the strange, funny and downright ridiculous moments that shaped the city, from bizarre traditions to larger-than-life characters, all delivered with our signature irreverent style.
Ominous Oxford – Ghost Tour: When the streets quieten, Oxford takes on a different character. Step into the shadows for tales of hauntings, dark deeds and lingering legends that still echo through its lanes. A tour for those who like their history with a chill (and a chuckle).
Our tours are designed for groups, adults, families, and tweens and up, brought to life by guides who mix storytelling, humour and history in equal measure.
Planning something special? We also welcome group bookings in Oxford, from school trips and university groups to corporate events, team-building and private tours, whatever the occasion, we’ve got something suitably terrible lined up.
