Wonderful Oxford tour guide Ross

We had a lovely time exploring and learning lots about Oxford. Our tour guide was Ross who is a very friendly, funny and knowledgeable man. Throughout the tour he answered any questions we had with great detail. Compared to previous tours i have visited, this was a tour where i didn’t want to walk off and explore myself, i was invested during the whole tour which made the time fly by. We would recommend to get a guide when exploring Oxford because there is so much information that i would’ve never learnt if it wasn’t for knowledgeable guides like Ross. It was clear that Ross knew what he was explaining and genuinely enjoys his job. We left Oxford looking forward to coming back someday soon! Thank you so much Ross! :)

Wonderful tour of Oxford

Ross was so knowledgeable and led a great trip. He answered all our questions and had some fun anecdotes. It really felt like a "behind the scenes" experience. I couldn't understand why we had earpieces at first, but they really helped in noisy Oxford. I wish we had him with us when we toured Christ Church the canned audio tour did not compare to having a live human,
