Great Intro to Oxford Sites and Stories with Ross!
Great walking tour with Ross! Very informative and easy walk. Saw all the main sites and got history, stories and inside scoop on student life and experiences. Gorgeous sites, friendly guide and staff along the way. Awesome intro to Oxford! One tip: Use the restroom first. To use the restroom at the Oxford Tourist Info Centre where you start, you have to buy something at the cafe next door (albeit with a footprints tours 10% discount). Before going to start of tour, use public toilets a few blocks away or those in a pub or other locale. Enjoy!
Excellent tour
Patrick was an excellent tour guide. Super welcoming and friendly and very knowledgeable on Oxford! Would definitely recommend to a friend :)
The best way to get to know Oxford
Run, don’t walk to the 3-hour walking tour experience with Sam! A truly established Oxford alumnus (3 degrees, so far) he is a veritable encyclopedia of colleges’ history and lore, university culture, and so much more. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll actually remember the fascinating tales of the people and the stories that make Oxford a special place. He will answer all your questions and even hang out a bit afterwards to share his top picks for pubs and cafes. We highly recommend this tour with Sam. He made our brief visit to Oxford so enjoyable and meaningful.
