The tour guide is necessary to see the underground crypt, prison cells and the castle top.

Marco V.

The place is amazing, full of restaurants nearby and there is a souvenir shop that is a must if you like medieval stuff.

Superb tour of all the cells of the former prison held here. Great stories of the history of Oxford.

There's often events here on weekends, http://www.oxfordcastleunlocked.co.uk/about/events/ has the list. For example, this Sat/Sun it's drawing, and they've just finished a giant chalk map of Oxford!

Stephen Spencer

The tours are brilliant! What a great idea to bring real characters from the past to life and use them to bring this fascinating historical site to life too! Much better than normal or audio guides!

Finders Keepers

A tour of the historic Oxford Castle is made all the more enjoyable when there’s a delicious meal to follow it. A variety of restaurants offer everything from tapas to Italian. A top venue in the city

Get a guided tour (particularly with the guy in the red costume ). The stories make this visit worth it.

Samantha Howard

Enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guides . Bit gruesome but very interesting and lots of fun.

Great place to visit. The open air plays are amazing.

Pearson - Always Learning

The tours are discounted for students – and well worth taking too! You’ll be guided around the caste by a character guide!

I learnt something new today: never EVER go on a tour where the guide pretends to be a character from history #fail

Dave Pickstone

Tour is well worth it, but mind your head!

Sakin gelmeyin, buyuk hayal kirikligi.. Sarayburnu'ndaki surlar gezmek daha guzeldir...
