A delightful morning in Oxford - This was such a perfect way to get oriented to & immersed in the history and culture of Oxford University during our one day there as part of an extended England visit. Our tour guide Savannah was super pleasant, knowledgeable, cheerful, and patient with our many questions. A real delight. I was a little nervous about the last minute unavailability of Christ Church College for our originally expected time for the self-guided portion of the tour; however, the tour company (Oxford Alumni Tours) was good about arranging for a later time which worked fine with our schedule (if it hadn’t they offered a partial refund). We (2 couples) were very happy with the experience.

Amazing tour to learn about the history of Oxford with a fun and knowledgeable tour guide - We loved everything about this tour. Our tour guide Alec was so knowledgeable and he pointed out things we never would have even known to look for. We learned so much and he had us laughing while learning ( even my 13 year old!) It was the perfect day.

Do not visit Oxford without taking this Tour. - We had a fantastic time, thoroughly enjoying our tour of the Oxford Campus. Our guide was Merton College PhD candidate & absolutely made the tour the success that it was, due to her personal insights around the University, her bubbly personality and ability to tell stories. Throughout our 2-1/2hr tour, she kept a good pace, was conscientious in allowing for interactive questions, while also making sure that we covered the considerable amount of walking that was necessary to see everything. We also took the optional Christ Church entry which is a must for a more detailed view of the largest college in Oxford. Top marks to our student tour guide and to the program that hired her.
