Peter's humour and knowledge. It gave me a taste to find out more. The only improvent I would make would be to actually go into the chuch.

The entire time we were with Peter the information came thick and fast with a great deal of humour! At the end we felt like we had been shown as much of Shakespeare's town, relating to William and his family, as can be seen from the street. Thoroughly recommend this walk and Peter! We will definitely do this again when we revisit in the Spring!

We both enjoyed the tour and found it educational. We had some difficulty finding the meeting point. My one recommendation for our guide would be to move the stop-and-talk portions to the shady side of the streets on sunny warm days.

Our tour guide Zeb was amazing. Best tour ever. So much great information and lots of questions answered. So interesting and informative and really very special. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in Oxford University and wants an incredible experience and memory of their visit.
