The duration of the tours varies considerably, spanning from 90 minutes to a full 150 minutes. Alongside price and length, you’ll want to compare the average ratings. Currently, most tours enjoy an impressive 4.5/5 rating, but the “Tolkien, Lewis and the Inklings Oxford Tour” stands out as our top-rated option with a fantastic 5.0/5 based on five reviews.
Given these ratings and price ranges, we strongly recommend booking in advance, particularly if you’re travelling during peak season. It's common for walking tours to sell out, especially the more popular ones like the Inklings tour. While specific cancellation policies vary between operators, it’s generally advisable to book with a flexible policy that allows for free cancellation up to a certain timeframe before your tour date.
Before you confirm any booking, take another look at the details – particularly the duration and price – to ensure they align with what you're hoping to get from your walking experience in Oxford.
