What to expect
Oxford Covered Market
5m
We will start the tour at the bar in the Market tap. However, I would advise visiting the Market beforehand to have a look around and enjoy some food from some of the great street food style vendors. I would recommend pizza by Satorellis, or if you're feeling really British, Pie and Mash from Pieminister!
Broad Street

We will walk down Broad Street to see the Sheldonian Theatre, Bridge of Sighs and Blackwell's Bookshop. Also located on Broad street are Balliol and Trinity colleges.
The White Horse
20m
We will stop at this historic pub for a swift half pint of cask ale as we discuss all things beer and Oxford history

We go down the hidden entrance to the Turf, one of Oxford's most famous pubs for 'an education in intoxication'. Here we'll hear about the pub's history and it's clientele past and present!

30m
Just a short walk from the Bear, Our final stop is a lesser-known, but fantastic local pub with over 20 local ales. A must‑visit for cask‑ale lovers! Please note, there are plenty of different options, so depending on your preference we can decide to visit a different pub if you would like!
