With Tourist Tracks you can
download an MP3 file or buy a CD containing an
audio walking tour of Oxford with a map to help you find
your way around.
Tourist Tracks
MP3 walking tours let you take in the sights at
your own pace, in your own time. Forget shuffling
around with a large group or wrestling with a
guide-book - just load up your MP3 player or
portable CD player, plug in your headphones and
let us do the rest.
Remember, with
Tourist Tracks, there's no guide to keep
up with. You only need skip to the next audio
point when you're ready to move on!

Wilcox, husband of That's Life presenter Esther
Rantzen (old girl of Somerville College), and
