Go for it

Fantastic walking tour. Rory was our excellent Oxford ambassador, winding us through key Oxford sites with stories, legends, alumni experience and historical facts. Well worth it.

From Colombia with Love

Nick was very friendly, approachable, and made the trip go by fast. We did not notice how much we walked until he left, and then we felt it. Ha ha ba

Top experience

Very nice driver (Leanne), more patient with delayed guests than most would have been. Very good guide within Oxford (Hanna), told us about the history, gave us insights into life in Oxford as a student and resident, was open to questions and gave the group rest stops as needed. The small group was just the right size that a few questions came up but not too many to keep the group together or stick to the schedule. If you want to improve something, an hour or two more in Oxford would have been nice though it is amazing to get a first experience of the town/university. Absolutely recommend you choosing this experience. Great value for money, best for getting a first overview of the city and university.

Informative, charismatic

The freshly graduated "student" guide Rory was very charismatic, well-read, and eloquent, with a good dose of British humor. Highly recommended.
