Traveler reviews
Highly Recommend Following in the Footprints of Footprints Tour of Oxford.
We are so glad we chose this particular experience and the transportation that came with it. It was very easy to meet the van in London and avoid worrying about the train schedule and possibly missing the tour. Dougl was a wonderful driver who gave us fun tidbits of information during the trip to and from Oxford. Also, we have nothing but glowing reviews for Hannah, our tour guide at Oxford. Her tour was not only very informative, but she displayed a wonderful sense of humor that kept the tour fun and lively. She was also sensitive to the needs of one of the people in our group who moved a little slower. The tour itself was informative and detailed and covered quite a bit in 3 hours. We highly recommend Footprints and this tour.
Highly Recommend Oxford Tour
I had a fantastic experience on the three-hour tour with Trystan as our guide. We covered the main sites, the information was interesting and relevant, and the tour proceeded on schedule despite unpleasant weather. Footprints as an operator was extremely professional, contacting me well in advance when there was a change in admissions at Christ Church for the day I was originally booked and allowing me to select another day (although disappointingly, even though Christ Church itself was open the day of my tour, the hall everyone had come to see was still closed to visitors, but that's not the tour's fault). I highly recommend this company and have already booked their Cambridge tour for later this year.
Wonderful tour!
We had a wonderful tour with George - he gave us a lot of insights on what it was like to be a student, as well as history and inside info. He was also very kind to wait for us as we were late - parking is tough to find!
Leanne got me there, Hannah made the day interesting and enjoyable.
My day trip to Oxford was made easier by being picked up in London. Leanne was on-time and a good driver. She told us a bit about the drive, then I was able to sit back and enjoy the views. Her much choice was terrific and at the right volume level. She provide demographic information as we came into Oxford and delivered us to the tour starting point. My tour guide was Hannah, a recent graduate of Trinity College. Her tour was informative and entertaining. We kept to our timeline, and although it was pouring rain, she found us drier spots to stop and tell us about the university, the history of education in England, the important people who constructed and attended the various colleges. She also explained how the student are taught at Oxford, that I really enjoyed. My only knowledge came from watching Oxford based TV shows, so I learned quite a bit from Hannah. Great job!
Don't hesitate! Book your tour today ~ you will love it!
I highly recommend this tour! My tour guide, Saga, was absolutely wonderful! She was so knowledgeable and shared the history of Oxford University in a fun, story-telling manner. There was plenty of time to enjoy each stop on the tour, and all questions were answered brilliantly. I also loved that each group was small (my tour group had only 7 people), and the tours were led by Oxford students/alumni, which was lovely.
