I do not recommend this tour. Please read carefully the very conflicting definitions of 'free' tour on website. I've been on many other 'free' tours and understand how they work. After such a tour I leave a 'tip' typically around £10-20 depending on how I valued the tour. Unlike every other tour I've been on, the guide here demanded the 'tip' about 20 mins in to the tour otherwise we were not allowed to continue (this was, they said, because some people skipped paying the 'tip', no doubt true). We paid (the amount we were planning to) and continued. The guide was much less informed than other tour guides we have experienced. I chose the tour because of it's 'harry potter' element. But there was nothing additional about Harry potter than other tours I've experienced. The tour of a college (a claimed unique selling point of this tour) was Keble college. The tour guide separated us into smaller groups and advised us to walk around independently. The aim of this, so it seemed, was to prevent staff at Keble realising that this was a tour group. Keble college (and other colleges) can easily be visited by tourists. There are other 'free' tour guides, superbly informative, that I recommend. Sadly, not this one.
It's a very good tour, especially for those with a general interest in Oxford with very little background knowledge (which will be many international first-time visitors to the city). The tour does a very good job of exploring the very many bizarre quirks of the university and its medieval town. The tour guides are good. The first time I took the tour was with an especially intelligent and funny guide whose name I sadly don't remember. If it's your first time to Oxford with not much background knowledge and you're not sure what to do with your day, I can highly recommend this
Had a great afternoon tour with Simon. His knowledge and passion shone through at every opportunity He even spoke Italian for an Italian lady on the tour. Thank you Simon for a great tour this afternoon. Very enjoyable
We had an amazing experience on the tour with Alex yesterday – definitely a 5-star guide! He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and very easy to communicate with. He quickly picked up on what interested us most and tailored the tour to focus on those topics. It honestly felt like he knew everything – even beyond the scope of the tour itself! The tour was both informative and truly enjoyable. On top of that, we only reached out about 2 hours before the tour, and everything was organized quickly and smoothly. Alex went above and beyond – highly recommended!
We booked a very last minute request for a private walking tour with myself and two children. I didn’t y think there would be any availability but the request was picked up and handled professionally and efficiently. A guide was sourced and details of the tour arranged via email to cater to what we were interested in seeing. The nominated guide, Sergey, met us early at our punting location and started the tour from there. He was incredibly knowledgeable, polite, warm natured and friendly; engaging with both children with interesting facts and stories. What a fantastic experience.
