Was in London for a week in Oct 2011 and deided to spend a day in Oxford. The train trip from London Paddington was just under 1hr and quite cheap (5 pounds) and comfortable. Trains run every hr there and back during the week so very convenient. Upon arrival it took about 15 mins to walk to the Oxford Tourist... More

We had a great time, the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour is well worth going on and wound its way around some interesting and spooky sites. Recommended. More

This 90 min excursion is a great way to get to know the history of the university! You actually visit a couple of the main colleges and their hidden gems. The guide was very professional and cheerful, encouraging to ask as many questions as possible and even putting to the test the knowledge of some Harry Potter fans :) Do... More

As a historian from the States on my first visit to Oxford, I wanted a first-rate overview of the city's reknowned colleges. Stuart provided a great "layman's" introduction to Oxford culture and several key sights.
