We left on time, very informative and knowledgable guide. Good value for money and felt we weren’t rushed. Twenty people on the tour which is about the right number. Guide was animated and obviously proud of Oxford.

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

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.

The tour length was fine. However I think the guide could have explained things better. I think he thought we knew many things already which we didn’t.

Enjoyed it but wasn’t wowed. Even though we were the only one’s waiting at the designated spot, the host didn’t introduce themselves and we had to make the approach to them. The host was very quietly spoken but as we were only a small group it wasn’t such an issue. With a larger group it could have been a problem. That said the host was fairly knowledgeable and the tour was not expensive.

Simon gave a very enjoyable walking tour. As well as giving as an extensive history of the many different colleges with many anecdotes involving many famous alumni he also described what kind of person the university admits and the challenges they face and how they progress. Always involving us making it a 2-way conversation not a lecture. Would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn about Oxford
