Fun tour of Oxford, Anna was great!

Josephine_M, Apr 2026
What a fun way to explore Oxford. Fun for believers and skeptics alike! Anna was our guide and was the perfect amount of theatrical. She is an excellent story teller and has a great sense of humor. Be sure to check what time sunset is the day of your tour as it was still light out during ours, but very overcast. I could see a nighttime tour adding just a little extra spookiness.

The trip was exceptional....

The trip was exceptional. The narrative in the trip captured the experience. I apologize; I believe his name is Rick, though I'm not certain, but he did an outstanding job.

Great tour - super ghosty!
