Oxford Must do!

Eugenie_P, Jun 2024
Took a walking tour around Oxford with Rory, our tour-guide extraordinaire. He was knowledgeable, insightful, friendly, and interesting. We enjoyed his anecdotes on life as an oxford graduate and fellow Harry Potter enthusiast. Toured a number of colleges and grounds showcased in the Harry Potter series. We were fortunate to have private access to places otherwise off-limits. Money well spent and a highlight of our tour of England. Highly recommended!

Comprehensive and fun!

Our guide Alec was friendly, informative and funny … one of the highlights of this particular tour was having an actual Oxford student taking us around and giving us insight into life at the colleges, which felt more personal and interesting. We covered so many of the major sights, just exactly what we wanted to see. Highly recommend!
