Wonderful walking tour of Oxford Colleges - The most enjoyable part of our visit to Oxford. Jonathan was highly knowledgeable being an ex-student, engaging with all and a great sense of humour! We thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it for anyone visiting Oxford to get the most out of it. - Doug, Matt & Ethan

Fun solo tour - I went on a solo tour led by Simon, who was really knowledgeable and pleasant throughout the tour. Because it was just two of us, the tour was casual and conversational! I learned a lot about the religious history of Oxford and noted some other places I ought to visit on my own time.

Superb tour of the city and university with Jonathan - Jonathan was an excellent tour guide on 29/11. His passion for the University and the city shone through as he shared some of the lesser known places and anecdotes; his delivery was charming and warm and the pace was energetic, meaning we got to see and learn a lot!
Would recommend

An excellent tour! - It was a wonderful experience! Very informative and interesting. Jonathan was an excellent guide…he is clearly very knowledgeable about all aspects of the University and surrounding areas. I was especially interested in the CS Lewis aspects of the University, and he made sure to include tidbits about him and Tolkien. The small group size made it much easier to hear and explore on a busy commencement Saturday! Highly recommend!

An informative and fun tour - Our tour was the perfect blend of a history lesson, info about the school and interesting conversation with our charismatic and kind tour guide, Jonathan. He was passionate, well informed and so sweet. He really went out of his way to make the tour feel special. He is a photographer so he was especially helpful in making sure we got the perfect shot at every stop. Would definitely recommend booking this tour and count yourself very very lucky if Jonathan is your guide

Very informative and so much history to take many pics of - Jonathan was such a great guide. Funny, informative and so knowledgeable. What he showed us was incredible with so much history to see. We only went to Oxford to do this tour as people who we met in our travels had mentioned it, so we went the next day and so pleased we did.
