Oxford Official Ghost Tour

I was concerned we'd made a mistake when we arrived at the meeting point. The guide was there but he seemed to lack people skills but on the walk he was very informative about the sights that we visited. As a tour about Oxford it was very good but the ghost part was a bit disappointing, it went along the lines of "there's a ghost here", no real story. I didn't catch the guide's name but he certainly knew his stuff about Oxford I'd recommend it but just to learn about the sights.

Dear Ben, Thank you for the wonderful tour you gave us yesterday. I learned a lot about the history and culture of the city. You were very knowledgeable and engaging. However, I have some suggestions on how you could improve your tour for future guests. First, I think it would be nice if you could show more photos of the places and people you mentioned, such as the clothing they wore in the 1700s, the grave in the church, or the bishops. It would help us visualize the stories better and connect with them more. Second, I think you could make your tour more interesting by telling the stories in a more narrative way, rather than just stating facts. You could use more details, emotions, and suspense to make us feel like we are part of the history. Other than that, I really enjoyed your tour, especially the dark and narrow streets and alleys. They gave me a sense of the atmosphere and mystery of the city. Thank you again for your time and effort. I hope you find my feedback helpful and constructive.

Fantastic walking tour, full of interesting descriptions and stories from an energetic, friendly and passionate tour guide. Would recommend for anyone interested in history and seeing some of the deep history of Oxford.

My recent tour left me bewildered and deeply disappointed, all due to the tour guide's inexplicable rudeness. Right from the start, it was evident that our guide had a tendency to make snide comments and displayed an unusual obsession with her preferred procedures. Upon my arrival a few minutes after 7pm (7:08 PM), I joined the group gathered behind a small construction fence barrier, clearly indicating my interest in the ghost tour. The guide promptly informed me that this was indeed the tour and instructed me to come around the makeshift construction barrier because we would be walking to the right. I agreed and began walking the shortest distance around the construction barrier. The trouble began when she insisted I turn around the opposite direction I was going and take the longer route around, despite it being just a few meters. I told her I’m walking the shortest route and came spring the way I started and she became visibly exasperated with me. I couldn't fathom why this mattered so much to her, but her reaction made it seem like I had committed a grave offense for not adhering to her specific instructions, creating an unnecessary scene in front of the group. To compound matters, the guide seemed to expect me to be practically attached to her side once I approached the group, all for the sake of asking my name. I was taken aback when, instead of simply asking my name from where I stood in the group (just a foot away from her), she chastised me for not getting closer. It felt like she was making a mountain out of a molehill. Her condescending tone and attitude left me questioning whether she was having a bad day or if this was simply her regular demeanor. I left early feeling uncomfortable. Looking back, the tour had the potential to be an enjoyable experience if not for the guide's rude behavior towards me and her irrational expectations. If you're considering this tour, I would advise you to be prepared for a guide who may not be the most pleasant company. I hope the company addresses these issues to ensure a more respectful and enjoyable experience for future customers.

We were a nice-sized group, and our guide, Rob was extremely knowledgeable about Oxford history. His stories were interesting, however fairly tame given similar tours in other cities. A very enjoyable tour.
