2.00This could have been an excellent tour with the correct guide. “Fred” seemed to go off script and spend 20 min or so at the beginning giving a detailed history of Oxford back to the time of the Dane’s. It did not follow the “what to expect” details in the tour’s description. We gave up and left 3/4 way through the tour
Great walk through...

5.00Great walk through Oxford with a visit to some important sights. Historical information, mixed with small anecdotes, was conveyed very well (both in terms of content and language), the tour was a lot of fun.
Knowledgeable and highly engaging

5.00It is 2 hours full of information and stories. My guide was amazing and clearly knew his stuff as he spoke with certainty and without hesitation. As an FYI, the way it works is that when you arrive you go into the tour office on Broad street, show your ticket and then they give you a coloured wrist band. You then go our the front snd find the guide with the matching wind breaker. Tour size was only 11 people so not crowded. I thought it would be rushed but there is heaps of time to take pics etc while the guide is doing their thing. There are then some stops where you get a few minutes to look around.
