The tour was highly informative and pleasant. There was plenty of opportunity to ask questions and take photographs. We left the tour with a good appreciation of both the fascinating history of Oxford University as well as how it has maintained its current status as one of the very best universities of the world.

It was great and I learned a lot about the university. Tom’s a very knowledgeable guide. He made sure that we didn’t get bored throughout the tour making us laugh from time to time. What me and my friend liked about him was his willingness to answer all the questions our group had. Definitely recommend this tour.
