Reviews
Guide (Savannah) was very friendly and knowledgeable. Being Alumni from Oxford, she shared some interesting facts about the place and its history. Moreover, she kept us engaged, while at the same time, gave some very useful tips for the rest of the day. Surprise package was an inside tour of the University college with some nice views.
we had a relaxing 30min boat ride with our student guide this morning. Angus was very knowledgeable albeit a little shy which was more down to his age and little experience in dealing with clients. we would definitely recommend taking this tour as it’s a nice way to see the iconic sights of Oxford from the comfort of your cushioned seat in the boat.
just chose your preferred time and showed up at the assembly point and off you go! we had the best guide for our river punting experience. A sweet, talented and aspiring British girl who not only river punted well, but also shared with us the history of Oxford and her dream. Bravo, young lady, keep up your dream.
Rory was such a great tour guide and gave us so much insights into Oxford. we enjoyed ourselves and would go back again if we could!
When graduates become tour guides, they can better understand the background, history, and fun facts of Oxford. The tour guides are very friendly, and teachers can go and enjoy the trip.
TEJAS OUR GUIDE WAS REALLY VERY NICE ..tour was excellent….he provided each and every information about university
This is a scam tour. No tour guide showed up from the beginning to the end. We can't contact the customer service. We will contact 12315 to protect our rights after returning to China. We followed the instructions and waited for the tour guide at the location in Figure 1 at 12:40. The tour guide finally showed up and told us that their tour was not theirs. Then we asked at the place in Figure 2. After we went there, they said they didn't know about this tour. Then we contacted the place where we registered. I immediately contacted Kelu and the dialogue in Figure 3 appeared. They only gave us a phone number that was limited to mainland China, without any other prompts. So far, I have not received any contact from Kelu, and there is no way to get a refund. I can only wait to go through the rights protection route after returning to China.
First of all, the meeting point says to meet at shop of secrets and there is no shop of secrets. It is now inside Oxford campus store. We tried getting in touch with klook but they said the operator is not responding. We asked klook to give us number of the operator and they did not. Now they say even though shop of secrets does not exist the meeting point is valid. How will someone in a new country know that. They spoiled my day and are now refusing refund. This is a scam do not book!
Their service was so poor. I couldn’t get an inform about my tour schedule and couldn’t do an activity even though I had waited for more than 40 mins outside. They didn’t answer the phone and neither I and service center of Klook couldn’t reach out with the host. It was such a mass even though I liked the tour of Oxford part, the last part was a whole mass. I’d rather not book this tour if could choose again.
maybe the tour guide could introduce us more about the history in Oxford!
