    It was a very nice tour. Fred was a great driver and guide on the way to and from Oxford. We were a small group, which was great for a better experience and opportunity to interact with the guide. Thanks to Jasper with a lot of knowledge about the history and as a student.

    Excellent tour of Oxford ran by students of the university! We chose the London pickup option with the extended tour which was super convenient and allowed us to kick-back and not worry about public transportation from central London. Our driver to and from was Fred. He gave us background information on the drive which was very comfortable. We had about an hour of free time before and after the walking tour started and were directed to some spots we may enjoy exploring in the meantime. Our tour was led by Ricardo. He was very knowledgeable on the history and was able to answer questions from the group. Our transport back to London left Oxford at 3:30 p.m. I believe that this tour (including pick up) is well worth the price. No stress on transportation, knowledgeable student guides, pointers of other spots to check out and pre-booked entrance into colleges and places that were sold out upon our arrival. Would recommend and definitely to first time visitors and foreign tourists like ourselves!

    On my dream trip to Oxford University,Fred, our driver made us feel safe and secure on motorways that were very different than we are used to in Canada. He was relaxed, friendly, and funny. His narrative on the drive to and from Oxford was informative and amusing. Definitely recommend him and this tour to friends and family.

    This was a fabulous small group tour. The driver is excellent, knowledgeable, chatty and safe. He knows the various student guides in Oxford and chooses the best for his guests. Our guide was a PhD student of medieval history. Who better to guide you through a medieval university? I highly recommend choosing this tour if you want an excellent tour of Oxford and have only a day from London.

    This tour was fantastic. Our driver, Fred, was knowledgeable and a great driver. Our tour guide in Oxford, Ricardo, was a PhD student in Medieval history and had a great command of his subject. We learned so much about the history of Oxford.

    The Oxford tour was amazing! A very nice day trip from London, incredible to see so many sights. The 3 hour tour was easily doable, even in the light rain we had. We did arrange to have transport from London and this was well worth the time and money. I would highly recommend this option. It was nice not to have figure anything out to get to the right place and not having to stress about being on time. Our driver Fred was great and very friendly!

    We joined the Footprint Oxford Tour with the London pick-up option, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The London pick-up location was very convenient and easy to find, which made the start of our day completely hassle-free. Everything ran smoothly and right on time. Our driver, Fred, was fantastic – friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. He gave us great insights about Oxford and the surrounding areas along the way and kept everything perfectly on schedule. His driving felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey, and he made sure everyone was well looked after. Once we arrived in Oxford, our walking tour guide, Amir, was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Oxford University and its colleges, and his explanations were full of fascinating historical details and local stories. He was also very friendly and engaging, which made the tour both educational and enjoyable. I also want to give special credit to the administrative team for their excellent communication before the tour. They informed us well in advance about the closure of Christ Church Cathedral due to a private function, which showed great professionalism and organisation. Overall, this tour was well-planned, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable. We’re very happy with the whole experience and would highly recommend Footprint Tours to anyone visiting Oxford – especially with the London pick-up option, which was so convenient for us.

    This was a remarkable tour & outing! From the pick-up point in London to the relaxing ride back with Fred at the end of the day … Fantastic! The fact that I had a comfortable & intelligent chauffeured ride to Oxford from London made this particular tour so appealing. The fact that Fred, the driver & Will, the tour guide, are both Ph.D. Students at Oxford was a super privilege & so much fun! Thank you Footprint Tours! This has been a highlight in my European journey! Keep doing the good work! We need you Oxford grads helping us on The Journey!!! Kate Jones San Francisco
