Great tour with Magnus - Magnus was AMAZING!! His insights on the University and its history were invaluable and the tour was a lot of fun. Magnus is used to giving tours to groups of people, but it was only me on this tour. Despite this, he adjusted to this difficult task very easily and catered his tour to what I wanted to see and what I was not planning on seeing on my own. He was very charming and made me feel comfortable and kept my spirits up on a rather gloomy and busy day. 9/10 tour, just a small hold up at the beginning with finding the guide. I will be recommending this tour to friends and colleagues of mine visiting the city. Thank you very much!!

Wrong time - The guide was very good. However we wanted to see the colleges and could only see one because they don’t open until the afternoon. We wanted to do the tour whenever we could see them and would have been happy to wait.
