I recently had the pleasure of going on a tour of Oxford with our guide, Tom, and I can't recommend him highly enough! He did a fantastic job, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. Tom was always happy to take questions, which made the tour feel more interactive and engaging.
I highly recommend this two hour tour!

It was an outstanding tour with Freddie. We visited many colleges, including Trinity, All Souls, the Divinity School, theaters, and libraries. Fredy shared a wealth of information and entertaining anecdotes throughout the tour. He presented everything fluently and engagingly. They were perfectly punctual, and we neither felt tired nor bored during the tour.

Tom was a great guide. He’s smart, knowledgeable, and witty. He answered all the questions we had. Learned so much about the university and its colleges. At the end, he also recommended some good place to eat. We highly recommend this tour.

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.

My son(20) and I attended a wonderful tour of Oxford with Freddie. It is amazing all the history that goes into all the colleges that make up Oxford University. The buildings and architecture are all beautiful. Freddie’s stories and background were very interesting and made the exploration more engaging.
