Recommend Tour - We enjoyed our walking tour with guide Sophia. We especially enjoyed the tour inside Trinity College. Sophia was a wealth of information and the 90 minute tour simply breezed by. Very well done!

A cordial, informative, and lively Oxford University tour - Ally, a doctoral student, was worth every penny!!! He was easygoing, full of information about the colleges, student life, the history of the university and its relationship to larger English history, and he has a great sense of humor. We saw the interior of Balliol College, where Ally is getting his advanced degree, and inside the student dining room and chapel. Ally took us around all the important historical buildings and places where Oxford history was made. He left us in a fabulous out-of-the-way pub after making sure we had all the food we wanted. We hosted pints to him, an absolutely perfect host and guide. 5 stars and more!

Great Lewis / Tolkien Tour - Excellent tour, Jonathan was our guide and he did a great job of guiding our time together as we explored the history of Tolkien and Lewis along with giving history of the University. Great food and hiking recommendations were an added bonus!

Oxford tour in August - Sophie was an amazing guide. Nobody booked the tour apart from us that day and at that time so we got more of like a private tour which was great ! She answered all our questions and offered us recommendations of things to do around Oxford afterwards. We saw a lot of things in an hour and a half !
We enjoyed it and we recommend it to anyone thinking to go visit Oxford as you get back with a lot more rather than just wandering around on your own.

Delightful and informative - Sophie was a lovely guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We didn’t feel rushed at any point and yet covered a lot of ground, getting to ask loads of questions along the way. Fabulous and highly recommended.

Awesome Experience! - We absolutely loved our private tour with our guide, Jonathan. He went above & beyond to try and cover everything we wanted to see. We could have spent much longer. My advice is to book a minimum of 2 hours if not more. So worth it! Sure all of the other guides are great too! Highly recommend this company.
