    It was such a fun tour. Small group so it allowed for more interactions and more personable. Tony had a great knowledge about the city as well. This a tour for those who don’t like the big crowds and who favor a general overview of the city.

    We are all local to Oxford but decided that we could do with knowing more about its history and buildings, so spent a great hour and a half with Tony on a Friday evening. Going round a relatively small area in the centre of Oxford, we learnt so much that you'd never otherwise find out. Great insights and historical stories! We realised that we walk around with our eyes closed much of the time, missing lots. Tony brought it all to life and we'll enjoy our city with a new outlook and plans for new things to do. Thanks very much for a fun evening.

    Highly recommend this tour, even if you live in Oxford! We had a friend visiting and decided to book a tour to show them around. Tony was a fantastic tour guide, and very knowledgeable. He tailored the tour to our group, providing local suggestions for must-do's in Oxford from restaurants to festivals, as well as historical and architectural knowledge. Having the tour in the evening meant the buildings were lit up, showing detail that wouldn't be as striking during the day. Excellent tour. A must do!

    We had the most memorable experience in Oxford with Tony as our private tour guide. A few of us were running behind but he graciously waited and didn’t mind the late start. He took his time showing us around the various colleges and he’s such a wonderful storyteller. We learned so much in 4 hours and everyone was entertained by the rich history and the surrounding beauty and architecture. At the end of the tour, Tony recommended a lovely restaurant called The Red Lion where the food and drinks were fantastic. Thanks again Tony for a wonderful and memorable time!
