Amazing!

Libby was a fantastic tour guide. It was great to be guided by someone with first hand knowledge of the current university system and who told us things you'd never be able to google. She was very pleasant, friendly, informative and even our 14-year-old was interested and remembered a few of the facts.

Amazing!

Our guide for the tour was Erica, who was welcoming and fun. The pace was good with Erica ensuring that the group stayed together. We learned so much about the history of Oxford, the university, famous people who had been part of the city from across the centuries. Erica imparted her extensive knowledge with confidence and wit and kept the group engaged.

This was the highlight of our trip to Oxford.

Richard W. was a fantastic guide, weaving together stories and trivia about the city of Oxford with the University. He was funny, informative, great with questions, and paced the tour really well. His background in journalism certainly came across in his stories. We thoroughly enjoyed our two-hour tour.

Amazing!

Alice was a wonderful tour guide and made this chilly morning in Oxford a blast! We appreciated the modern stories of university life mixed into the history of the colleges/city. Alice made sure we knew the best college is definitely Keeble! ;)

Stephen was an amazing guide! He was very informative, full of facts, and had a great sense of humor. He took us off the beaten path of Oxford and we learned so much more than we hoped. We really enjoyed the tour and would 1000% recommend!

Amazing!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! The 2 hours flew by and we felt we had seen most/all of the main sights in Oxford. Richard was a very friendly and informative tour guide! The group consisted of my boyfriend and I and another group of 3 so the tour group felt very small and personal. Would recommend! Thank you Richard!

It’s very informal and relaxing to walk around Oxford with someone chatting to you as you go. Doesn’t feel overly produced, which I like.
