    Peter was a fantastic guide with so much knowledge of Oxford, from the university and colleges to the history of the city, the literary figures and movies that have been made there. He told us so many interesting anecdotes and showed us much that we would never have read about in a book or discovered on our own. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our tour. If you are going to Oxford, try to book him!

    Lorac was an excellent guide and was able to give us a very personalised tour with interesting insights and explanations. He adapted the tour to enable us to see and experience relevant colleges and places. It was highly worthwhile doing a private tour and we would definitely look to do this again when visiting other cities.

    Peter was exceptional and such a hoot. We spontaneously booked only 24 hours prior to the tour with idea of seeing Oxford as a prospective student. We were greeted with cakes, chocolates and a fountain of knowledge. His passion for Harry Potter, Morse and the famous literary poets added a whole layer of interest for us both. Really enjoyable and he could not have been any more flexible to make it just right for us both. Thank you Peter.
