This was a very good and informative tour. The guide was lively and amusing. We felt that it was good value.
Great tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Good group size not too big. The company split us in to two groups because of high number of bookings which we appreciated
Our guide Jo was quite knowledgeable and entertaining, it was almost as if we were "live" in a really well made documentary about Oxford! Lots of insider information, and she was able to answer every question we had! Definitely the best way to explore Oxford. We are a family of four with a 15 year old and a 10 year old and everyone definitely enjoyed the tour. Definitely a memorable experience and I would say the Jo has been the best tour guide we've ever had!
This tour was incredibly informative and interesting! Our tour guide, Trevor, was very knowledgeable and patient in answering all of our questions. The tour touched on C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, which we found very interesting being Narnia and LOTR fans. The history of Oxford was laid out very coherently and logically. We would definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in having a deeper understanding of Oxford university and town.
Our tour guide Tim was excellent. He knew so much about the history of the town and colleges. Very interesting - lots of information with a humoristic notes. Really interesting tour. Highly recommend.
