Honestly, I would not recommend this tour. Unless everyone in the group (we had about 20) chooses to pay to see the different colleges you can’t enter. Our tour guide was not as knowledgeable as we would have expected…she was just ok. It would have been nice to see pics of the buildings we couldn’t get into. We spent about 15 mins in a bookstore we could have easily down on our own and not taken up our tour time. My husband, who is in a wheelchair, had to navigate the cobblestone and stairs pretty much on his own until she noticed we were struggling. Our tour started about 15 mins late and then caused our Christchurch tour to start late. We spent a lot of money and time to visit Oxford University and I would greatly appreciate a good portion of our tour money returned. Thank you.

No alumni guide. Limited knowledge. Punting portion of the deal wasn't available, they were closed the day of our booking.

Our Alumni guide was Elleanna and we really enjoyed her tour, which was informative and funny, and she did a good job of matching her walking pace, delivery, and subject matter to our group. This was the highlight of our trip to Oxford. (Apart from a couple of very amusing punting accidents we witnessed on the river in the second portion of the trip...it really is a difficult thing to do without lots of practice, so we were so glad we had a "chauffeur"!) I was also impressed with the whole company...Adam was very responsive and helped us book this tour at the last minute. Unfortunately, I clicked on the wrong tour in my haste but Adam quickly fixed that for me. I highly recommend the tour company and the experience!
