Excellent tour guide - Fergus was an exceptional guide - accurate historian but also a very witty and personal take on life as an Oxford student threaded throughout.

An immersion in Oxford student life thanks to Martin :-) - It was wonderful to discover Oxford (history, university life, traditions and contradictions), through the stories of an excellent student like Martin. Martin fascinated us all thanks to his storytelling and English Humor. Thank you all

If you want being the scenes intel rather than anything you can read out of a book, do THIS tour - Thank goodness we booked this tour and not some of the others that we could overhear which lacked authenticity and seemed to be hosted tour guides reading out of a book, selected for their loud voices only, some groups had leaders with a tannoy they were so big, I could visibly see them 'losing their group' . . Not so on this tour with Tom. We couldn't have asked for more with our English graduate from Christchurch college . The group of 12 was a good size. He was engaging, funny, authentic and knew the history dates an all the tales . He knew where the toilet stops and water stops were and graciously built those in , what the best times to do the different colleges were as it was a Sunday morning. The pace was easy. We got local knowledge, and lots of inside track on life as a student there , the interview processes and the nuances between the different colleges He was also happy to offer his time after for any questions, which a lot of us did, we just stayed and chatted. 5 star guide

Disappointed - The tour was not what I expected. Our guide brought us around the area and informative information (good). The guide was long winded on history (not good). Not necessarily relevant for me. We changed our tour time without any issue at the tour office. Later we received an email scolding us for not showing up at the original tour time. It was not our fault the staff did not record the change.

Not as expected - Our alumni was not alumni and did not attend or had ever attended oxford (went to Edinburgh college). It was a history tour - no questions about oxford as a potential university to attend could be answered.
