I would definitely recommend this tour. It is a great way to see Oxford, we covered a lot of ground in 2 hours. Our guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the town and university. He had some great stories and kept us all very entertained while also giving us a good appreciation for what it would be like to study at Oxford. A great tour for adult and children - do it!

We had Richard and he was great! He was funny and very knowledgable about the history/ facts. There weren't enough people booked for the bike tour so they switched us to the walking tour and refunded us $20.
