Walk and talk

Thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Our guide had a good way of describing modern day facts with the historical overlay. Well worth it.

Such a great tour!

This walking tour was incredibly interesting given what we both heard and saw. The level of detail given by the guide made it so easy to get a real sense of place and time as we walked through the various Oxford colleges. Highly recommend

Time well spent

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour today with our guide Oliver who was very informative with facts, figures ,stories and anecdotes about Oxford University and its colleges, buildings and traditions. It is impossible to see all 39 colleges in two hours but we saw the Bodleian library, the Radcliffe Camera, and several colleges. It was a fascinating two hours and I would highly recommend it.
