5.00We were picked up by Fred, who drove us to Oxford and provided us with detailed information of the city, school life, and the history. He was a very pleasant tour guide and graduate of one of the universities of Oxford. We then met up with Eloise, who took us on a walking tour. She too, was very articulate and jolly. She pointed out various aspects of student life that we would never have known on our own. We had an outstanding and full visit in the city of Oxford, all within one day.

5.00We enjoyed our time on this tour to Oxford and would recommend it. The pickup from London made it stress free and much easier than organising it ourselves. We entered a couple of the colleges, including the famous Christ Church, which was a highlight of the tour! Our driver and the university student guides were fantastic!

5.00Very informative walking tour around the University of Oxford. Shree provided very interesting facts about the different colleges and was very open to any questions that that tour had. Apart from that, the transfer to and from Oxford was also very comfortable and was informative as well.

History comes alive in Oxford

5.00I took one day trip called “extended Oxford. The coach was comfy, and the driver, Duggle, was very knowledgeable, polite, just lovely. I loved the history lecture on the way up and he answered all our questions. There was a bit of chaos at the information center getting walking trips organized, but our guide, a lovely Medieval Literature student (Thurston?) was just lovely, funny, bright and very knowledgeable. It was wonderful.
I really liked this day...

4.00I really liked this day trip, we did this with the Christchurch add on! It was fun. The only reason I only give it 4 stars is that I wish we knew that there wasn’t really anytime for lunch. Our tour met up at 10:45 and we had some snacks in Oxford beforehand and enjoyed the free time, but when we got to Christchurch we were handed our audio guides and if we handed those back in to leave for food we wouldn’t be able to get back in. So we ended up having to eat quick late in the day before our ride. I just wish there was a warning or a packed lunch option for Christchurch, but that’s the only downside of the day. Other than that, I say pack a lunch and enjoy the tour!
Great day in Oxford.

The Oxford tour guide couldn’t be better. Knowledgeable, capable, funny and held our attention. Answers every question well without hesitation. Congratulations on a wonderful team!!!
