Great craic - would recommend. - Morganna was fantastic! Super entertaining and informative. Grew up in Oxford and didn't know half the facts! Well paced and not too far a distance, but with a great overview of the city.

Morgan, 10/10 - Morgan was absolutely amazing! She was so kind and caring. We learned so much and she was hilarious. She fed off of our energy and even told us different facts! She was a blast!

Fun and interesting tour - Highly recommend this tour, loved the drama and it had just the right level of detail and history. Tilly was an excellent guide. Covered some interesting locations and stories. We had our 16 year old son with us and it kept him interested enough that he didn’t look at his phone once during the whole tour - quite the accomplishment!! We also got a good recommendation of an area to go to for dinner afterwards which was much appreciated.

A ghostly All Saints Day tour of Oxford - Megan was the perfect host, storyteller and guide for our ghost walk in Oxford. Megan had a fantastic ability to tell the ghost stories, sharing historical knowledge, engaging the group, and adding a unique, humourous, and personal approach. We recommend this tour.

Captivating Halloween Ghost Tour in Oxford - We took the Footprints ghost tour on Halloween night and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide was a history major student who brought Oxford's spooky past to life by staying in character as someone who once lived in the city. Her storytelling approach made the tour feel incredibly immersive and engaging rather than just a recitation of facts. The combination of historical knowledge and theatrical presentation created the perfect atmosphere for a Halloween evening in Oxford. We were thoroughly entertained from start to finish and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oxford, especially if you're looking for a unique way to experience the city's rich history. A memorable experience we won't forget!

Very informative - I really enjoyed it! There was a lot of history mixed into the ghost stories and our tour guide, I think his name was Jasper, was very knkwladgable and was absolutely lovely.

Odd - It was a strange tour, the accuracy of information was questionable to each location stop and it was assumed we knew the difference between each college. There was no room for questions and the stories were vague and a bit drab. We made the most of it but it didn't feel like we got any value for money.

Poor information and limited audience engagement. Poor experience - I had expected great things but unfortunately our guide had very little interaction with the group. He walked to his spot, told his story, then moved on. No questions, no context for where we were or why the story mattered. sometimes he’d name drop colleges as if we knew that’s where we were or why it was important. Some stories didn’t relate to the location they were being told. Tour finished at almost the 1 hour mark - so shorter than expected. The costume was impressive but made questions impossible and you have to ask what a plague doctor get up has to do with ghosts
