Lovely tour with a wonderful , enthusiastic, fun guide

We had a brilliant tour with (Eloise - the archeologist) , she knew all the interesting facts , but was so enthusiastic and positive it made the tour great fun and the time flew by). This is an external tour only (ie a good intro to all the major sites) and you will really need to go back to actually tour available colleges later (ie we returned to New College (excellent) and you will need to pre-book for certain colleges (e.g. Christchurch) . Recommended.

Worth it!

Alex E. did a great job. Very informative and knowledgeable. SO much new information (new to us), and very patient with our group (at moments it was like herding cats). He navigated through the traffic and construction seamlessly. Very friendly and accommodating. Thank you, Alex E.!

A really entertaining tour of Oxford Colleges

We did the footprints free walking tour with Patrick a student at the University. The tour was excellent with the right balance of knowledge and humour which kept us engaged for the entire time. I would thoroughly recommend it.
