Oxford University and Colleges Walking Tour

I arrived in Oxford on a whim and only had three hours to explore. I scuffled about a bit, and as a transport anorak immediately realised that this town must have tackled traffic problems at some point. I'm not usually one to use any form of organised tourism, but I got chatting to the guide (Simon) and decided that as I was utterly clueless given my time schedule I had nothing to lose. This turned out to be a wise decision and worth every penny (£7.50). It was late afternoon and our party was small, but I got the impression that even with a larger group of visitors Simon would have no problem holding their attention. His knowledge of the city is superb. I really do recommend Oxford Walking Tours.

I thought that I knew Oxford fairly well, but Simon, our great tour guide, made me realize there were many things that I did not know. He really made Oxford come alive for me and my family, and I am so glad we happened upon this walking tour. Not to be missed if you want a full appreciation of this wonderful city.

We went on an Oxford Walking Tour as we wanted to see as much of the city's universities as possible and know what we were looking at!! Our tour guide Simon was superb --- he took us around the colleges and into New College. He was a mine of information and clearly knows and loves the city. If you are going to Oxford you couldn't do much better than an Oxford Walking Tour!!

Went on the walking tour today with my Dad to celebrate his 80th birthday and really enjoyed it. I lived in Oxford for a short while about 10 years ago but never got round to seeing the colleges at the time. The guide (Stuart) got the pace just right - a good range of colleges but time to take photos, and interesting commentary without being bombarded with facts. Great way to see Oxford.
