    We had a great time walking around Oxford and learning about the school and city! He customized the tour to show us more CS Lewis stops as our group requested.

    The lady who tourd us was very kind hearted. Super sweet and wasnt nasty in any way. In fact one of the guests in our group was a bit nasty to her and she handled her with grace. Objectively her English was difficult to make out. She was not from the UK. But her accent made it tough to understand her. Moreover it was difficult to hear her. The volume was too soft. She was knowledgeable about the area but was rough to hear in groups.

    It was very nice. The town and university are commingled so the tour covers both. I wish that we had more of an opportunity to visit inside colleges. We did see the inside of one. With the exception of one chapel we did not see inside any buildings. Nonetheless the tour was enjoyable and our guide was really nice and knowledgeable.
