Excellent guide, learned lots! - Really interesting tour, Ollie was a great guide, very knowledgeable and spoke very clearly and loud enough for the big group to hear. Loved the tour, perfect introduction as someone who has just moved to the city! Also now have many other ideas of what else to see and do.

Highly recommended 👍 - Jacob is very informative and a fantastic storyteller. As an English literature PhD student, he provided us loads stories of British history. I loved the poems told by Jacob about the Oxford Martyrs. Great experience for us!

2 hour university tour - We brought our family for the 2 hr tour and it was perfect! We had a graduation the next day to attend so it was great for everyone to get familiar with Oxford. Our tour guide had great history knowledge and did a great job!

Unfortunate walking tour - The tour was ok. The day we went they were having graduation so we couldn't go into some of the buildings. The tour guide unfortunately wasn't great. He would walk to a spot and wouldn't wait for the whole group to get there before he started talking. Some people also got left behind and they were visible upset. With all the foot traffic he was hard to see. I felt this wasn't worth it honestly.

Disappointment - Dear manager, We are extremely disappointed on this tour as we thought we have chance to enter racdliff camera for 10mins which is stated cleared in Viator before we made any booking . This is second times we travel back to Oxford and we don't go back again for couple of years later. This tour is like looking around nothing special as first trip here even price is cheapest. We have received replied from footprints your that this place is not allowed to visit by visitor but why your website is mentioned is free admission ticket
