Maggie was an excellent...

Published on Apr, 2025

Maggie was an excellent and engaging guide. She was very knowledgeable about the attractions. If there was a detailed question she didn’t know the answer to she would research give us the information. Maggie tailored the tour to meet our needs and some physical limitations. A charming person that we loved spending the day with.

Oxford Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

This was one of the best tours we did on our trip. Maggie gave us an incredible mix of knowledge, history and funny anecdotes. The train ride from London was long but she made it pleasant and entertaining. Her friendly attitude made the tour enjoyable, and we gained a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend visiting Oxford with Maggie

Great day lead by an excellent guide!

Published on Jun, 2024

Our guide Mike was excellent. Informative day and very relaxing. Our 16 year old son enjoyed it too - felt like he was immersed in Hogwarts. Highly recommend!

A Day Well Spent in Oxford

Published on Sep, 2023

Our Oxford tour was fantastic! The guide's passion for the city was infectious, and the History of Sciences Museum left us in awe. We even savored a traditional English lunch. I can't recommend this tour enough; it's the perfect way to experience Oxford's history, culture, and charm.

Very Accommodating

Published on Sep, 2023

Mike was incredibly accommodating of our needs. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the sites and history of Oxford
