What To Expect

A private tour is a great way to get an intimate and tailored insight into Oxford and the beautiful university! With a private tour, you will be able to completely tailor the experience: from meeting and starting points to any particular themes you wish to be covered. If you would like to visit a few of the colleges used in the filming of Harry Potter, this can be discussed and arranged for you. Depending on what you would like to see there may be additional entrances fees but your guides can discuss all available options for you at the start. Your guides have a great insight into Oxford, and are committed to providing interesting and enjoyable tours of this beautiful city, rather than tours which put people to sleep. A large portion of the guides have also been involved with Oxford University and have a great insight into how the University works and its incredible history.

Our tour guide was Eloise. She was very familiar with Oxford University life, and the various colleges and culture in the area. Because she was working on her masters degree in archaeology. She had detailed knowledge about the buildings, the history, and unique feature features in Oxford. We found her to be pleasant, and articulate, and she did a fantastic job.

Thorston was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable, witty and most of all passionate about history especially of the people of Oxford. He had a natural story telling ability which made the tour very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour with this guide.

My tour was Footprints Tour which gathered near the Oxford Tour Information on Broad St. Our tour guide was Sam who recently finished his PhD at Oxford. He was brilliant. He was incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, energetic and hospitable. We learned so much about Oxford. He was the best tour guide we had since we arrived in England. If you want to learn about Oxford, please join this tour with Sam. The tour was for free and you tip at the end. He was a way better tour guide than all our other paid tour guides. Can’t recommend this tour with Sam more. Thank you from California :)
