This is a really good way to start a site seeing visit to Oxford. Our tour was conducted by Tom ( imagine a young Michael Mcintyre ). He did an excellent job of giving an informative and entertaining introduction to many places of interest around the city. The history was fascinating and awe - inspiring, and included stories of local... More

We joined this tour (which runs at 11 and 2 daily) due to the positive reviews on Trip Advisor and we were certainly not let down. Two hours just flew by and we got a good oversight of Oxford. Shame we couldn't go into any of the colleges but we then used the info to go back and visit the... More

I was in Oxford last week for an interview, and I happened to come across this tour while walking around. I loved it! I always go for the free tours, they're always much more lively and interesting, but this one exceeded my expectations! Our tour guide, Fred, was funny and charming, he told us stories and gave us insider's tips... More

And I'm not saying that just because his mother reads this side, or so he says. His pay-what-you-wish 2-hour tour is a super performance, entertaining and informative, always amusing. More

I could not believe that this tour was for free and funded on a tip basis only. Either way it is definitely worth going on this tour with friendly guides with lots of knowledge about the city. I definitely recommend it to anyone going to Oxford! More

I'm in Oxford for two days with only one that I can really spend walking around Oxford. Got here at 12:45pm, got to my hostel and immediately see that this is starting in about an hour, being a student and on limited funds I figured I would do it, perhaps not expecting the best tour in the world. I have... More

Although I lived in Oxford for some time I joined the tour with a visiting friend and was suprised how little I kenw about the city. Our guide Tom was very nice and knew a lot of interesting stuff. You will see all the main attractions in Oxford (from the outside) and hear about the history. In the evening we... More

This was a really fun two-hour tour of the main Oxford attractions. Our guide Tom really knew his stuff. His enthusiasm and passion for Oxford's history were infectious, and left us wanting to learn more. He was funny too. More

I loved this 2 hour tour, it was the perfect introduction to Oxford. Little would you realise if you were roaming around by yourself that each building and alley you walked through had been a part of such exciting times and stories. It felt like a bygone era came to life. Our guide (Chris) was fun and well informed, and... More
