Ross was a very knowledgeable guide. He did a great job describing the Oxford college experience and rich history. Very easy to understand his intelligent and entertaining presentation. He went over time making sure we were well prepared for our tour of Christ Church. 10 stars!

Oxford Official University & City Tour

Bruce_K, Sept 2026

Don’t miss this!

My wife and I had a wonderfully informative conversation with guide Jason Thomas as he walked us through the Oxford town and university and almost a thousand years of English history. We came to appreciate far better, the central role of Oxford in early British history and the development of higher education in the UK. We feel very fortunate that we could have Jason as our guide. He did a brilliant job.

A “Not To Miss” walking tour of Oxford

Andrew was a fantastic guide. In just over 90 minutes, he brought Oxford's history to life with a perfect blend of knowledge, humour, and storytelling. We explored the famous colleges and city landmarks while learning about Oxford's remarkable alumni and residents, including C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Dr Seuss, Hugh Grant, and Stephen Hawking. Along the way, Andrew shared plenty of memorable anecdotes, including the somewhat cringe-worthy story of former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke's seven-second yard-glass record at the Turf Tavern! An informative, engaging, and enjoyable introduction to Oxford. Highly recommended.

This talking tour with Sam was a delight. Sam was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of Oxford and the uni. I was only sorry I could not stay to the end as the tour went on longer than I had expected. I will definitely do it again so I can do the second half of the tour.

Afternoon Tea and Boat Trip. An excellent combination!

I was only in Oxford for the day, and I couldn't pass up a trip down the river. I decided to arrive early and treat myself to an afternoon tea at the Folly Restaurant. It proved to be an excellent combination! Everyone I met during my experience was friendly, chatty and professional. I chose this one following other online recommendations, and I am glad I did. An excellent experience.

Very well organised tour from booking the tickets, to keeping us informed via email, to the day itself. Sue, our tour guide was brilliant.

Great day with Christian!

This was an amazingly informative and efficient way to see the Cotswolds from Bath. Thank you to Christian for a lovely day and Elena for coordinating as my contact prior. We saw more places and learned more than coordinating on our own or doing a bus tour. Really feel like we got to know the area and Christian tailored the trip to our wants and needs. Highly recommend and would do again!
