Traveler reviews
5 Star afternoon with Sam.
Sam (Day) was fabulous, recalling stories about Oxford University and Brasenose, being the college he attended throughout the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and the manner in which he interacted with our group all added to our enjoyment of the afternoon.
Fabulous tour - really recommend
Ryan was absolutely brilliant - knowledgeable, loud, clear and animated. Don’t be put off by two hours of walking. There are many stops in total about 3,000 and plenty of stops to sit down. Fabulous value forMoney as entrance to two buildings included. We couldn’t get tickets to the bodlian library but they were included on this tour. Ryan was really thoughtful- it was a hot day and wherever we stopped he made sure we had shade. 5 Stars to “Ryan the Townie” who really knows his stuff *****
Two hours of history and humour.
George was the guide, who was informative and very personable. The tour was obviously well planned and reflective of the guide’s time spent at university. A highlight of the visit.
Great
We had the best guide Charlotte , She knew so much and told us so many intersting things on the side . She made our trip definitely worth it !
An Insider's Oxford: History, Heritage, and Student Lore with Patrick
If you are someone who already knows their way around Oxford’s rich history—or if you simply want a deep, authentic dive past the standard tourist script—taking a walking tour with Patrick is an absolute must. This tour delivered an intellectual and deeply personal exploration of the university. Patrick's profound grasp of Oxford’s history was matched only by his own lived experiences as a student within its walls. For history and education enthusiasts, or curious travelers this tour is exceptional. By grounding grand historical narratives in the reality of everyday student life, Patrick delivered an experience that was both intellectually satisfying and genuinely entertaining. Rating: 5/5 Stars
