A Great Guide

5.00Guide was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer all our questions. We couldn’t fault him at all. The meet up place was a little vague as it turns out we should have met at the Jericho Cheese Company, but this wasn’t what the tickets said. The tickets also stated we would see the Bodleian library but actually it is the Divinity hall you see and we were told that the wrong ticket time had been booked by the organisers of the tour so we only had 15 minutes to get to the hall. Overall though this did not diminish our enjoyment of the tour and we thoroughly enjoyed our time and would recommend to others.

A fascinating trip through Oxford's history

5.00My husband and I found the Bodleian Historic Oxford Walking Tour a wonderfully enjoyable experience. Our guide, David Crosby, was full of information and knew how to deliver it in a way that was easy to listen to and even memorable-- quite a feat when you consider the breadth of history we covered! The guide one has makes a big difference in the experience; so I highly recommend you ask for David.

4.00A good way to see some of the interesting parts of Oxford that you could miss. The guide was knowledgeable and gave an entertaining talk and he didn't try to rush us around.
Really disappointed
