great experience. chris the guide is nice and knowledgeable… he even walked us to christ the church, and told us where to buy cheap stuff. good value for money thank you so much.
It was a very fun tour for Harry Potter fans. The guide spoke English slowly and was very kind.
John is a truly enthusiastic and empathetic tour guide. His explanations are humorous and engaging, and this hour-and-a-half introduction left a deep impression of the entire attraction.
it was very informative and fun our guide was incredible. Oxford is lovely and highly recommend if you are a harry potter fan 🪄
A good value for money choice because it is led by an Oxford graduate who is very familiar with the history of each college and the characteristics of each building.
It was an excellent talk, full of interesting historical stories, and we got to visit many places that other tourists couldn't access for free, which saved us a lot of money. John truly lives up to being an Oxford University student; even though history isn't his major, he spoke so well. Next time, we'll need a full day's lecture to learn even more. Thank you! ☺️
We were very happy with our Oxford tour guide. He is knowledgeable, well-prepared, friendly and extremely helpful throughout the tour. We learned so much and truly enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing time exploring Oxford with Stefan! He was so engaging and brought the city’s 'ancient and mysterious' vibe to life. Whether you are a Harry Potter fan or a literary buff interested in Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, Stefan has the best stories. His humor and kindness made the college tours even more enjoyable. A must-do tour!
We had a wonderful day with AK as our tour guide.She was friendly, knowledgeble and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Highly recommended if you thinking about joining a tour with her.
A woman named Veronica guided me. She was kind enough to help me with my poor English, and it was a great memory. The Christchurch Steps were not included in the tour (maybe it was a time issue...), so if that's what you're looking for, be careful. I tried to buy a ticket to see the steps on the day, but they were sold out.
