We had a wonderful time during our tour! Our guide was Chloé, she was dynamnic, interesting and funny. Even for non-English native speakers she grabbed our intention through her story-telling — we definitely recommend.

Our student guide Chris gave an absolutely amazing tour!! He added so many fun details and stories to the tour and also gave us great recommendations on the best places to grab a pint, enjoy a scone, and take a scenic walk (we tried out all three and thoroughly enjoyed each!). The tour was so much fun and not only covered the highlights of Oxford but also some of the other less known facts and histories. I feel like I got a great sense of the place and would definitely do the tour again!

I wasn’t sure what to expect since the tour is free, and I was impressed by the experience! Our guide Christopher is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour, which is a great combination. At the end of the tour, you have the possibility to tip the guide/contribute to the tour, but you don’t have to. Would definitely recommend!

Tour guide was really knowledgeable but more of a history talk rather than a university tour. Disappointed to only visit a few college sites, didn't walk very far. As an Oxford local I was hoping to get more of an insider tour but this was not the case.

The whole 2 hours walking around the Oxford city was pehnominal, and Chloe our guide so knowledgable about the history of Oxford explained us everything so well.. Definitely will recommend this. It is an absolutely free tour but Ofcourse you can tip them as much as you can.
