The Turf

We nearly always stop for a drink at this famous well hidden away pub called the Turf Tavern. It was long ago located just outside the medieval city walls and thus it was the site for gambling! This pub is where 'Hagrid' actor from Harry Potter films, used to drink, when filming the Goblet of Fire next door.

Peter our tour guide was very informative and friendly. We learned so many interesting facts about Oxford and visited some very cool pubs.

Our guided tour was very fun! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! He made sure to link the tour to our interests.

Peter was an excellent guide for this tour, full of informative stories and a wealth of historical information. The tour had the potential to be awkward as I was the only one on it, but Peter was an excellent companion and I thoroughly enjoyed the pub visits and will take advantage of some of his food and sightseeing recommendations.

Christina V

We had a great pub tour with Alisdair! It was a perfect mix of city history and sites and stops at some of the historic pubs around town. Alisdair is very knowledgable and has great stories to tell. It was a great introduction to Oxford!

Sarah A

Peter was an excellent guide for my husband, friend and myself as we explored Oxford our first night in town. We had a couple of pints throughout the tour and got a mix of history including the university, literary figures, and even a touch of Harry Potter. Peter was very knowledgeable and gave a great overview of the city, including many tips and tricks for the remainder of our stay. Would happily join one of this company's tours again!

Andrew S

Tour organised for a group of European colleagues visiting Oxford for the first time. Alasdair our guide was excellent in his knowledge & delivery & set exactly the right level between the sights & the pubs. The feedback from every member of our group was excellent with everyone enjoying the whole evening.

I had arranged this tour for my family from the US. Having no expectations, we came away from this fun and informative tour with the sense of having been treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide happened to be the owner of the company and had to track us down at our hotel because we had not arrived at the decided location on time. He very kindly picked us up and off we went to walk in the footsteps of history...via the local pubs! Don't miss this tour if you plan to spend a night in Oxford. We met new and interesting people by sharing a table in one of the pubs and the conversation and education were entertaining and memorable. The tour (because of the season) was a private one and we felt extremely lucky to have experienced it all.

<p>The tour guide, Peter, was excellent. He is a native of Oxford and very knowledgeable.</p>

Barry S

<p>This was a super tour for us. This tour costs more than the other pub tours on offer but it was worth it. The tour is configured for no more than six people unlike other pub tours and we were lucky as for us it turned out to be a private tour. Also, we were pleasantly surprised, although the description does not indicate this, our guide picked up the drinks tab so I got to taste test three different ciders as my wife tried three different ales.</p> <p>Because it was graduation night, the pubs often attended by students were very busy -- so the guide chose a couple of 'town-locals'. When we encountered too much of a crowd at the third pub, our guide revised things and we went to the Oxford Union club -- since our guide is a masters student at Oxford. That got us into an entirely different environment and we quietly sipped our drinks the cider at the club is NOT as nice as the ciders at pubs though -- it isn't their forte, and chatted for quite a while about Oxford, our travels, his travels and things in general. </p> <p>A very genial evening indeed.</p> <p>At the end, our guide walked us back to our AirBNB apartment which was rather a nice touch.</p>

Wir haben die Pubtour mit Alasdair gemacht. Er kennt sich sehr gut aus und hat tolle Geschichten über Stadt, Studenten und Colleges erzählt. Die Pubs wurden individuell an unsere Tour angepasst, da wir schon einige besucht hatten. Diese Tour hat den Besuch in Oxford aufgewertet. Ein Muss um das Nachtleben und die Leute besser kennenzulernen. Viele Grüße Michael
