It was a cool magical tour with a very sympathetic guide - his personal recommandations were very helpful and the historical information combined with his tricks were really cool too!
Would recommend 9 out of 10!

Sean was very informative and highly entertaining. Great for young and old alike. . . even told my son who grew up in Oxford a thing or three. Brilliant.

Traveling can be hard. Did you pack the right things? Is the place booked? Will we all have fun? Do yourself a favor and make it easy by booking with Shane and this tour. ~30+ 5 star reviews. This is a s close to a slam dunk as you can have when traveling.
Shane is an Oxfordian who knows his stuff and is a gentlemen to boot. Knowledgeable, friendly, and a great magician. 10/10!

Informative and entertaining tour. Magic tricks are an added bonus. Tour guide was friendly and gave tips for what other spots worth visiting

It was a nice general tour of the main points of interest in Oxford University. Some good info and fun facts given. The tour guide was friendly and fun. The magic tricks kept it light and entertaining

Shane had a wealth of knowledge and was a great tour guide, we appreciated his candid suggestions of what's worth doing in the area and how he knew all the spots to keep dry during the rain showers!
Nicole_B, Aug 2025
Well-delivered tour by Shane; would recommend 100%. Not just for adults either; I just went with my husband, but my son, who is a teen, would have equally enjoyed it. If you pick one tour, pick this one. Loads of facts and tips on which places to pay to visit or not, which we appreciated.
