Fantastic way to spend a few hours on a sunny afternoon - Simon was great, very knowledgeable and passionate. Was amazing to understand so much rich history of such a gorgeous city. Simon was able to answer our questions and nearly everything we laid eyes on had some cultural significance. Loved the anecdotes and the critical thinking challenge! Would highly recommend for a couple of hours to get to grips with key parts of the city.

Absolutely brilliant - I couldn’t recommend this more, I’ve never done a tour before but having not visited Oxford before and in a small group we decided to give it go and we are so glad we did! Such good value for money, access to the colleges included in the price, bags of interesting information and facts and the guide was utterly fabulous (Jonathan Self). Thank you

a wonderful way to find out about Oxford - This is well worth doing- our guide was wonderful and so very knowledgeable about the city, the workings of Oxford as she is studying there, and all the history of the city- we would not have found most of the places that she took us to and found out the history of them, had we not done this walk. well done to the team!

Walk recommended! - Suzanna was very interesting. The ballad with lots of details about the history of oxford universities teaches us a lot about the country and its diplomatic relations. We highly recommend!

Calling all intellectuals - Simon was very knowledgeable and very nice. A great guide for all intellectuals. If you are spending more than a few days in Oxford, he gave us great tips on what to see when the tour was over. Not a tour for kids less than 12yrs. My 18 yr enjoyed the tour but glad my 11 stayed at the hotel.

Happy with the Guide - Trip was informative and the guide was friendly with good experience. However, had a chance to get in to only 1 college and all other demo was outside the premises. Not great value for money.
