Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Ben was awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Would highly recommend."
"Michael was very nice, a local boy who made us feel at home. Tour of the Oxford colleges was fun and informative all in all a great experience."
"Ben was a great tour guide around Oxford. He was very prepared, full of facts and quick witted. It was a splendid way to get a very thorough overview of the town and University. I highly recommend the experience. "
"We really enjoyed seeing the beautiful gardens and chapels of the different parts of the University. Adam was knowledgeable and very pleasant."
"My family of 4 adults spent an informative, interesting and amusing couple of hours with Ben getting to know Oxford. Ben is a veteran of the theatre and I imagine this is a great background for any guide. As a born and bred Oxfordian (I'm not sure this is a word) he was extremely well educated about Oxford and its history. He explained the history of Oxford well and kept us entertained through the tour. I would wouldn't hesitate to do a tour with Ben again in the future. "

"We feel very lucky to have had Adam as our guide. Highly recommend. "
