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!
Isabel

Joe was incredible! He had a lot of knowledge about the history of the City and University of Oxford. I always enjoy hearing the locals’ point of view and opinions of the area. Would 100% recommend!

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.
