Simon was a fantastic tour guide and he knows do much about the colleges and the history of Oxford. Having given us a superb 90 minute tour he then made some suggestions for the afternoon. This was especially brilliant as my mum is in a wheelchair and he had thought through things that we could do to really enjoy our time in Oxford. I would highly rate this trip and in particular Simon.

Rude Tour Guide
Lauren_T
, Jun 2021
Although informative in places, the tour was an overall disappointing experience. Our tour guide was very rude to ourselves and other members of the party and we found him to be very condescending, even commenting to one individual that they “would never have gotten into Oxford” due to asking a valid question, in a way that couldn’t be misconstrued as humour. Details of departure need to be updated on the website as we were led to the wrong place to start the tour and we’re subsequently late. Should we visit Oxford again, which we hope to do, I will choose another tour as this was not an enjoyable experience and certainly not worth the fee.
