My daughter just moved to Oxford and this was a wonderful start.
There were two young children (8-10) and he taught to them as well.
The guide has degrees in math and French and loves the local history.
Not only was Peter's knowledge of Oxford excellent, but he was able to pitch the tour to keep everyone engaged throughout. Utterly charming. Time well spent!
