These guides, drawing from their personal experiences, offer a genuine insight into life behind the venerable college walls, sharing anecdotes and details that bring the stones to life.

The tours are designed to be engaging and fun, ensuring that the rich history of Oxford, from its Saxon beginnings to its current status as a global centre of learning, is presented in a lively and accessible manner, far removed from any dry, academic lectures.

Absolutely fantastic! We took the tour today and our guide was Tom. A very charming, charismatic and passionate young lad and extremely knowledgeable and clearly very proud to be representing and attending such a prestigious University. The tour was great from start to finish, Tom showed us some of the most beautiful parts of the centre and gave us some fabulous stories about student life and some of the traditions held. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to take a tour with Footprints. What could be better? A tour by current attendees who are loving life and flourishing in the very environment you're there to see and appreciate.
