Magdalen and Trinity College. Visitors in Spring can enjoy college boat races,
or from April onwards there is cruising on the Thames and punting on the
Cherwell. Any trip to Oxford should ideally begin with a guided walking tour
or bus tour of the city. A wide variety of tours cater for all tastes - one can
enjoy the Oxford University and City Tour, or Inspector Morse Tour or the
more daring might take the evening Ghost Tour of the city. Contact Oxford
