CULTURAL TOUR OF OXFORD

Oxford is a rich, vibrant, historic city in the shadow of Oxford University, one of the world’s greatest institutions. There is the option for students to tour Oxford, visiting its treasures including the Pitt Rivers and Ashmolean museums. These museums house exceptional Tibetan art. The University is made up of 39 colleges, each with its distinct architecture, gardens, and history. We will organise tours of some of these colleges including Christ Church, the home of Harry Potter!
