I had an amazing experience on this tour, and the guides were absolutely wonderful. Having lived in Oxford for five years, I only now truly appreciate the city’s rich history and its significance in the pages of history books. The walking tour is a must for anyone looking to explore the city up close, but if you prefer a more comfortable option, the bus tour is a fantastic alternative. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover Oxford’s incredible past!
