We had a fantastic time, thoroughly enjoying our tour of the Oxford Campus. Our guide was Merton College PhD candidate & absolutely made the tour the success that it was, due to her personal insights around the University, her bubbly personality and ability to tell stories. Throughout our 2-1/2hr tour, she kept a good pace, was conscientious in allowing for interactive questions, while also making sure that we covered the considerable amount of walking that was necessary to see everything. We also took the optional Christ Church entry which is a must for a more detailed view of the largest college in Oxford. Top marks to our student tour guide and to the program that hired her.

Awesome tour! Reece was the best!! We loved seeing the impressive architecture, and Reece’s commentary throughout the tour added rich context to each building.

Purchased a private walking tour of Oxford and was sent an e-ticket which made no mention of where to meet. No confirmation email, no receipt. Had to find the phone number on Google, which led to a recorded message regarding the meeting place. Arrived at the appointed address with my party, to find noone there to meet us. Ruined our day, and now will have to waste time pursuing these guys to get my money back. Do not use this company...

This was our first time in Oxford and Alec was absolutely brilliant! He was knowledgeable about everything, had tidbits of information for all our questions, and was super friendly. He made us laugh, and because we were a small group, he even went above and beyond and took us on some great little back streets as well. We were totally thrilled with this tour and may even do it again when we come back to the UK.

Alec was a font of knowledge about Oxford and the colleges. He was amiable, especially knowing we were from the American Northwest. Thanks, Alec!

The Alumni - student Prashita in this case was knowledgable, fun and upbeat. She made the tour enjoyable with little tidbits of stories.

Fell in love with Oxford thanks to the journey that Alice took us through.
The mix of knowledge, storytelling, and personal alumni experience is what made this an unforgettable experience especially for my mom who had never been to Oxford before.
Definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is planning a visit to Oxford.

Josie was fantastic! Our daughter dreams of attending Oxford University, and the information Josie gave about the university, the town, and the her own student experience made our daughter even more motivated to aim for her goal. Bonus points to Josie for waiting for us a few minutes longer after we were running a bit late. Great tour!
