Great way to see Oxford in a new light & find out about the city. Loved the magic tricks. Shane made the tour interesting & accessible to children & had good tips for other places to see

Booked this tour for myself and my husband and 13 year old son. I was a little skeptical it would be interesting for my son, as didn’t want it to be too child like but not too much Info that my son would get bored. We were blown away by Shane who is a font of knowledge and couldn’t do enough for all of us, he had so much information and kept it fun and engaging the whole time. We walked past some other tours which looked so boring and said to my husband how lucky we were to have booked with Shane! Thank you so so so much for a wonderful tour. He is an absolute gem and a must to book if you visit Oxford

Shane had a wealth of knowledge and was a great tour guide, we appreciated his candid suggestions of what's worth doing in the area and how he knew all the spots to keep dry during the rain showers!

Lovely walking tour, well paced and nice sized group. The guide was able to adjust things around the needs of the group and we felt we learned a lot in a short space of time. There were plenty of money saving tips which came in handy too

Fantastic tour. Shane was very knowledgeable and entertaining and did some great magic tricks too. I’ve lived around Oxford all my life and still learned things I never knew. I highly recommend Oxford Walking Tours!!

As a first time tour experience, i don't think i could have chosen better than this. informative, humorous, and well presented with a little bit of magic thrown in. Group wasn't too big, Shane was a very good guide, making sure everyone was entertained from the start, he went round everyone chatting to each of us (nice touch i thought). Happy to answer questions, even after the tour, well for me anyways. 100% recommend, and value for money. there should be a Shane in every city tour
