5.00We had an absolutely spectacular experience on this walking tour! This was my first time in Oxford and I couldn’t have picked a better way to explore the city. Nick is so knowledgeable, incredibly generous, kind and funny! We knew we were in great hands from the very start. Plus, my partner and I were the only two signed up for this time slot so we got a private tour by accident! Truly magical. I won’t be able to stop talking about this experience for a long time I’m SURE! Thank you so much to Nick for making this a highlight of our UK trip. We are so grateful for the experience and HIGHLY encourage prospective travelers to book their tickets with him.
Wonderful Day!
