Great Tour for Those on a Short Visit

My kids and I were in Oxford for only a short weekend and this tour allowed us to see so much of the Oxford campus as well as the city. Our guide was a graduate student and shared so many insightful things about the university and campus life, which my high schooler really enjoyed.

Great way to see Oxford!

Excellent tour that takes you into the key sights in Oxford: the Divinity School, Christ Church, and some of the colleges. Our guide Will was informative, funny and kept us all engaged. I liked the fact that it was a small group, so we could ask questions. It was also nice to hear from a student about life at Oxford Uni. Worth it!
