We just arrived in Oxford and were approached by Tom to do the free tour. It was a very good tour of more than 2 hours. Tom is a very passionate narrator and knows a lot about Oxford history. We were very fortunate to make the tour with him. To Tom: We were the not so cheap people from Holland... More

We just happened by this tour as Tom was spruiking for takers. It's a free guided tour, but obviously you should drop the guide a tenner at the end.

Having never been there, and also only having about 4-5 hours for the trip, we wanted to maximize. We contacted footprints on a Sunday, to arrange the Monday trip, and... More

When visiting a new town or city we will often take a walking tour as its a great way to get oriented and identify some interesting locations to visit later. As this tour was free it immediately attracted our attention - everyone loves a freebie! Of course it isn't free, we all have to make a living, you're invited to... More
