OXFORD-TOP ACADEMIC INSTITUTION IN THE WORLD - I'm so glad to have this opportunity to visit this world renowned university, we took the train from Paddington station to there, it was quite convenient. This university located at a quite town, and impressed me with unique academic architectures, the visual impact is profound, every school got it's own church, canteen, dormitory, library and lecture room, they are highly self dependent, the strong academic atmosphere can be felt everywhere, it provides almost everything the students may need during his academic study at this academic palace, and the visitors can obtain the access during the office hours to have a close look at the those buildings. Of course, as all the academic town does, everything are sufficiently provided, restaurants, grocery stores, supermarket, shopping centers, no worries for your visit at all. If you got time in U.K., do schedule a visit to go.

Brilliant tour - Richard was very knowledgeable and interesting. There were funny anecdotes and amazing architecture throughout. We would have liked to discover more and maybe walk a bit further around the city.

Fab tour of Oxford University - Richard was our guide and was outstanding, he was very knowledgeable and really gave us a taste of life at Oxford throughout its long history. He also avoided knocking me down with his bike, so bonus points to him!

Not Worth It - I was very disappointed with this tour, especially something which is rated 5 stars and publicises as being among the "World's Top 10 Things to Do as per Tripadvisor". HOW!? Neither was the tour that spectaclular (some buildings were normal nice to look at), she was stuttering throughout and also did not have too many interesting facts. One of the colleges you are taken inside but can just see the building exteriors only, which doesn't serve the purpose. Did not seem professional - seemed like a fun gig and overpriced.
