High energy and engaging walking tour! - I had the pleasure of joining a walking tour with Tour Minds, a seemingly new tour operater in Oxford, it was a fun and engaging experience from start to end. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights and little known facts about the city's rich history and architecture. Their high energy and passion for Oxford was truly infectious, making the tour both educational and interesting. Whether you're a local or a visitor, I really recommend Tour Minds for an engaging and informative exploration of Oxford's many nuances.

The most interesting way to see Oxford - A good way to see some of the interesting parts of Oxford that you could miss. The guide was knowledgeable and gave an entertaining talk and he didn't try to rush us around.

SCAM COMPANY DO NOT BOOK - We was Scammed by this company, Our guide never turned up. It said meet outside 12 broad st outside the magic shop by the red letter box? There is no magic shop number 12 broad street is a Cafe and they have nothing to do with the tours. we went into the tourist information in oxford to see if they new anything.? They told us this is the second time today someone has come in looking for this tour company... Viator / Tripadvisor do you not CHECK the company before allowing them to sell on this Platform Shame on you i will be contacting my credit card company for a refund. Oh we tried ringing on the Mobile number provided no answer.. A reason this company has no reviews.
