The experience
Oxford has over 1,000 years of history and plenty of ghost stories to go with it. Join a knowledgeable guide for an evening walk through the city as you hear stories of murder, disappearances, and executions.
You’ll visit well-known landmarks in Oxford and around the university at night, see the colleges where executions took place, and learn about some of the city’s most famous ghosts.
The tour takes you through narrow streets and historic college grounds, along Dead Man’s Walk, and into the stories of 17th-century soldiers, priests, lovers, and even kings who met their end in the "City of Dreaming Spires."
