Great tour of Oxford

I've taken at least five student groups on walking tours of Oxford, but Jonathan Self's was by far the best. As an alum of the university he had good personal knowledge of what it's like to study there, but the real strength of the tour was his incredible personal energy--we had an unpleasant train journey up, but he kept the students engaged and happy the whole time. He recognized better than I did what they would be interested in (Harry Potter references were very welcome) and also gave them good tips on other places to visit when they had free time. Highly recommended.

We had 3 people doing the city and university walking tour with Joe Capel. He was a fantastic story teller, bringing the history of Oxford, academia and its architecture from its very beginnings to present day. He had an incredible knowledge and handled side tracking questions with ease. He judged our interests extremely well and we felt incredibly well looked after. I would thoroughly recommend this experience.

Simon gave us an interesting and lively tour of some of Oxford's famous university colleges. He gave us many details about rooms, portraits, and features of Balliol college. Overall, the tour makes the best of Oxford's small and dense city center, not a minute is wasted, and it's a very good introduction to the place.

Had a great tour with Simon for a University and City tour right after Christmas. Simon was incredibly knowledgeable, and if there were any questions I had was able to answer them. Great introduction to the history of the City and University. Very chilly though and he didn't have a scarf! So hope that he's taking one with him for his Jan tours!

Jonathan, our tour guide was amazing. He took us on a journey visualising ourselves in a grand school like Oxford, living and socialising and thinking as Oxford students. Taking us within and around the famous architecture, me and my friend had a thrilling time on our tour, ending up falling in love with the city. P.S. also ate at the turf tavern, famous for inspiring the pub Harry Potter’s Hogsmead!
