Sandra Bingham gave us a wonderful tour of Oxford which well exceeded any expectations that we might have had. She summed up the requirements of our small group immediately and gave us a bespoke tour of a fascinating city.

We were very impressed with our tour of Oxford. Sandra was incredibly knowledgable and we learned so much about the history of Oxford, the university system and the architecture of the city. The tour was very well paced and held our interest the whole time. In fact, we all said that the time passed incredibly quickly and that we would have loved at least another hour! It was one of the highlights of our time in Oxford and also made our stay more meaningful and interesting because we had a better understanding and foundation when we later explored on our own and enjoyed the city. I highly recommend Sandra - she was thoughtful, interesting and very pleasant.

What a fantastic tour - Sandra pitched it perfectly, outlining the key historical elements and sharing amusing anecdotes and explanations of why things are as they are. We were all educated and entertained throughout and all had a wonderful time - we cannot thank you enough and thoroughly recommend Sandra to anyone interested in a visit to Oxford.

We had an awesome tour of Oxford with Sandra. As a local and Oxford University alumni, she was able to offer great insights on the town of Oxford and daily life at the various Oxford colleges.

We were delighted to work with Oxford Tour Guides for 6 guided tours for groups in July. Sandra was really easy to work with and very knowledgable about the way to structure our tour. We were advised which College to book into and everything ran incredibly smoothly. The knowledge the guides share is wonderful. We were so very impressed. The guides were also able to tailor their tours to suit the age of students on each tour. We will certainly be returning and can highly recommend.
