5.00Tim took a group of supporters of the Cathedral Music Trust on a walking tour of Oxford as part of our National Gathering - he is highly knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. He was more than happy to tailor our tour to the interest of our group, including content, locations visited, and timings. We would highly recommend Tim - his tour was a real highlight of our weekend!
