Fabulous tour with Escape to Oxford, it felt like meandering around with a local friend. Our guide was warm, informative and extremely knowledgeable about Oxford, which he conveyed in an accessible way. His passion really shone, and I walked away with a greater appreciation of the literary giants and otherwise that came from these hallowed halls. Leena, New York, NY Sept. 2021
Great tour, highly recommend! We had a great time. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. My sister and I went to Oxford for the day from London, and this was the perfect tour to introduce us to the city and university. Lots of fun facts and stories! Sheridan O. United Kingdom. Jan. 2022
