What people are saying about Oxford

Magnus, our guide, did a superb tour. He made Oxford come alive for everyone present - having established what everyone would like to see and know about. He ensured we covered the small details as well as the grand sweep of Oxford. We felt most grateful to have such an excellent guide and for the one and a half hours in his company. We left having seen a variety of superb sights and buildings which re-enforced what a truly stunning city Oxford is. I highly recommend the tour.

Fantastic tour with an amazing tour guide called Jeff who made the tour fun and informative.
