    Joanna was great. Wonderful welcome and an informative and entertaining guide. We spent over 2 hours with her and learnt a lot about the city. And this was in spite of the fact that there was a security lockdown for a visiting head of state.

    We enjoyed fascinating stories and anecdotes from Rebecca. She showed us so much of Oxford in a relaxed and informative way. We were so fortunate to have a group of just 4 of us so our all our questions were answered. Rebecca is lovely company and has a great knowledge and enthusiasm for Oxford. Thank you.

    Christ Church

    Christ Church

    This is a small group tour and half the size of many other tours in Oxford. Start the tour here and admire the architecture of probably the most famous college in Oxford. Many tours do not see Christ Church (from the outside) and we believe this is an excellent place to start the tour and hear an orientation of how it all began. This also gives you an overview to visit Christ Church independently in the afternoon should you wish.
