Felicity escorted our family of four on a wonderful tour starting at Christ Church and encompassing quite a lot of university information as well as some fun Harry Potter, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis spots. It was two hours well spent and ended at the covered shopping area at a great little cake shop. We booked this ahead of time... More

A group of us, two American families with three teenage daughters, took the train up from London to spend the day touring Oxford and the Cotswolds. I had arranged by email to have Felicity meet us at the train station to begin our two hour private tour of Oxford. After spending two jam packed hours with her in which she... More

We had a really interesting and informative tour with Felicity. Her knowledge was incredible, including the history of The Carnation. During exam time undergrads wear carnations - white for first year, pink for second year and red for third years. This is a tradition started by an undergrad who wore a white carnation at the beginning of his exams. He... More

Felicity gave our group a most interesting two hour tour. She will try to tailor make your tour to suit the common interests of your group. Starting at the oldest part of Oxford, she gave us an enthralling talk and walk around some of the old colleges and knowing our common interest in food, ended the tour in the old... More

Have lived near Oxford for 12 years, and know my way around it very well - but this tour by Felicity Tholstrup has taught us so much! In 2 hours, Felicity braved the cold with us on a frosty December afternoon, and helped us spend my husband's birthday in a splendid way. If you have never been to Oxford, Hidden... More

For the last ten years, I've been taking small groups (usually close friends) from California to Europe, so selecting hotels, transport and tour guides is of critical importance to me. Our group of 14 visited Oxford in September, 2010 and Felicity of Hidden Oxford Tours was probably one of the best guides we've ever experienced. Our group could not say... More

My wife and I had a guided tour with Felicity on Friday 1 Oct of this year, we found the experience simply great, Felicity has a real warmth for her subject and city, nothing was too much trouble and she gets you into places you would not otherwise know about or find and then she tells you about things to...

Having read the last, very negative and almost insulting reveiw on Felicity Tholstrup/Hidden Oxford, I find it necessary to add in with some comments: I've been visiting Oxford a number of times and feel I'm beginning to get quite a good overview and knowing at least parts of the city and its history pretty well. On two occations I've had... More
