      Guide was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer all our questions. We couldn’t fault him at all. The meet up place was a little vague as it turns out we should have met at the Jericho Cheese Company, but this wasn’t what the tickets said. The tickets also stated we would see the Bodleian library but actually it is the Divinity hall you see and we were told that the wrong ticket time had been booked by the organisers of the tour so we only had 15 minutes to get to the hall. Overall though this did not diminish our enjoyment of the tour and we thoroughly enjoyed our time and would recommend to others.

      thorough, good way to experience a city, especially one with so much history. 38 prime ministers from Oxford University, wow.

      Our guide was insanely knowledgeable, even with the impromptu questions we asked along the way. Highly recommended.

      Really disappointed

      Julie_R, Jul 2024
      No one showed up at the meeting point, no one answered the phone and I'm still waiting for my refund.
