We were so lucky to have Terrance from Ireland as our guide. Not only was he interesting to listen to but he was obviously interested in the history of the Oxford colleges, he must have done these tours a lot but we thought he presented the information in a fresh energetic way. Plus we were the only ones for this tour so had his undivided attention and given it was part of a day in Oxford birthday gift for my husband made it all the more special. The tour was 90 minutes long, but we didn't feel in the least bit rushed at all and every minute was interesting. Thank you Terrance for making this day special for us both.
