What are people saying about Oxford

Oxford University Walking Tour With University Alumni Guide

Adrian_R, Oct 2026

A great tour with fantastic stories

It felt like a slightly chaotic start and the instructions here should tell you to go into the Tourist Information Centre to get your wrist band, not just to meet outside. But after talking to random people, we found out what we needed to do. Despite the bumpy start, we were greeted by Oscar, our guide. What an interesting and engaging young man; someone born to tell a good story. The tour took us to so many interesting locations. Oscar giving historical information and great insights into student life in Oxford. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. A great way to get to know about the Colleges and Oxford. Thanks Oscar!

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.

Stephen_P, Sept 2026

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.

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.
