Rebecca was fabulous and we had the best time while learning so much about Oxford . Highly recommend this tour. Definitely a must do on your trip to Oxford
Hazel_E, May 2024
We enjoyed fascinating stories and anecdotes from Rebecca. She showed us so much of Oxford in a relaxed and informative way. We were so fortunate to have a group of just 4 of us so our all our questions were answered. Rebecca is lovely company and has a great knowledge and enthusiasm for Oxford. Thank you.

Rebecca our tour guide was great. Really loved her knowledge of Oxford and explanation of each college. The history of Oxford is amazing and will bring another family next time to experience it.

This tour was perfect for those who want an overview of Oxford but are short on time. Heidi was an excellent, engaging guide. Our whole family enjoyed this tour. Great for teenagers. We learned interesting facts we didn't know, and our guide took time to point out places of note pertaining to people we did know and want to learn more about, like Lewis, Tolkien and Carroll. Overall fantastic day

Excellent tour - we were very lucky to be the only ones on the tour, which selfishly was fantastic! We learnt so much. We would highly recommend Heidi she is personable, knowledgeable and bubbly! Thank you
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Thank you very much for your 5 star review, I am so glad you enjoyed our 'Simply Oxford Tour' - we do tend to keep tours small - often at least half the size of other groups in Oxford so these tours do represent outstanding value for money! Thank you again and with very best wishes Heidi

Great tour, the tour guide was very informative and made the tour very interesting, due to covid most buildings of interest were closed but that didn't stop us enjoying our time spent on this tour.
Phil_E, Jun 2021
A very enjoyable and informative tour. Heidi is a superb guide and I would strongly recommend this tour to all visitors. The pace of the tour is comfortable and yet we seemed to cover a lot of ground and topics whilst absorbing the beautiful architecture of Oxford. Plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The experience was enhanced by the effective audio equipment. On reflection I wish I’d booked direct as I was unaware that Tripadvisor took a large commission.

Heidi our tour guide was absolutely excellent and we had the best tour of Oxford! Would recommend the tour to anyone - learnt so much we would not have known and definitely worth the spend. Della
