Thoroughly enjoyable, highly recommended! - I highly recommend the walking tour provided by Oxford Alumni Tours as it was a very informative and enjoyable experience for me and my family. Sim was very engaging, friendly and knowledgable. He answered all of our questions and provided background about the university, student life and really interesting facts about the buildings and how things have evolved. Also, the information was balanced and well rounded, covering all relevant aspects. The unique aspect of the tour was getting insight into the application process from a student. It was thoroughly enjoyable.

Fun & Energetic - We were a group of five (4 over 40's and one 18 yo) and we had such a fun time on this tour. Josie shared so much history in such an engaging and energetic manner, and all of us were amazed at her ability to walk & talk for 90 minutes without even a sip of water. I would totally do this tour again the next time we are in Oxford. We weren't able to enter Christ's Church as it was a Sunday and the available slots were sold out by the time we arrived, but that was okay - we headed over to our punting (managed by a totally different group) and our next guide for our chauffured punt punt was really lovely and we had a very peaceful 30 minute journey...plus lots of laughs trying to get on/off the punt w/o falling in. All in all an enjoyable way to spend our afternoon before having a ginormous Sunday roast!

Girls Trip to Oxford - Our tour guide was Archie and he was very knowledgeable on the history of the city. We had a fun few hours with him! He made sure to ask us what we wanted to get out of the tour which was a nice touch and also stopped to take pictures for us. He made the tour feel like we were out exploring with one of our friends. Thanks for a fun day out in the sun! ☀️ Hope graduation goes well!

10’s Across the Board - Our tour guide Archie was a dream. His historical knowledge of the city was fantastic, but made even better with his personality. Would highly recommend!

Good tour - Overall we enjoyed both the punting and the walking tour. There was a hiccup because our guide called out sick at the last minute, so instead of a 10 am walking tour then punting, we did the punting first then walking at 3. Our punting chauffeur was a local student (just finished his exams / about to go to university) and he was fun and skilled. It was relaxing having a chauffeur- and many who elected not to get a chauffeur seemed to regret it. The punting operation was smooth and well organized. Our walking tour guide Zeus had just graduated and did a really good job in challenging situation. Our group was rather large (2x as large because of the morning tour being cancelled). It was interesting to hear about Oxford from the student perspective. He worked hard to try to get everyone engaged. We prefer morning tours so we can figure out what else we’d like to do for the day. Since it was a highlight tour, we heard about lots of things we would have liked to have known earlier in the day. By the time we had the tour it was really too late to do them. The tour company reluctantly gave us a small discount (after I asked - and then I had to ask again to actually receive it).
