You will see & hear lots of tours in Oxford and tours aimed at all interests but as a former nanny and now a tour operator since 2010 onwards, I notice that there is not really a tour focused on entertaining younger children.

A short tour offered only once a week at a time scheduled to suit parents wanting to occupy and inspire their children.
