If you’re interested in exploring the spooky side of Oxford, we offer a fantastic range of Ghost Tours. There are currently four different options available to choose from, catering to varying budgets and time commitments.
Generally, these tours run for between 75 and 120 minutes, costing anywhere from £11 to a significant £200. The average rating across all tours is impressively high at 4.7 out of 5, with the ‘Ghost Tour of Oxford’ consistently receiving the highest acclaim at an outstanding 5.0/5 based on five reviews. This suggests you can expect a very well-received experience overall.
These Ghost Tours typically operate as shared group experiences, though private options may be available depending on the specific tour. You'll likely find yourself part of a small group – around 10-20 people – guided through some of Oxford’s most historic and reportedly haunted locations. The pace tends to be conversational, with the guide sharing stories and historical context alongside the ghostly tales.
Considering the price range and duration, we advise allowing approximately an hour and a half for your Ghost Tour. This includes travel time to and from the meeting point and a little buffer time before and after the tour itself. Given the high ratings, you can realistically expect to pay between £11 and £200 for this immersive journey into Oxford’s darker side – a worthwhile investment for those seeking an engaging and atmospheric evening.
