      Bella our guild had a good knowledge of Oxford. Our group was only four people so I felt we could get a lot more done in our time than larger groups. If you want to learn a lot about Oxford in a small space of time I would recommend this tour. The head sets supplied were excellent.

      Enjoyable walk with a very knowledgeable and humorous Edward

      It was an absolutely nice walk through beautiful streets and colleges of the Oxford. I was very lucky to have Edward as our tour guide, because he told really a lot about history and traditions of the colleges and students. He showed us plenty of fascinating spots many of which were hidden from larger tourist groups so that we could listen to him undisturbed and fully enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommended! These 2 hours make you immerse in the culture and spirit of our the world‘s best university!
