  • "Die geführte Tour in Oxford mit Sophie als Tourguide war sehr abwechslungsreich und animierend. Sie hat uns zu einigen der bekanntesten Orte der Oxforder Innenstadt wie der Radcliffe Camera, den vielen kleinen Boutiquen und Restaurants im Covered Market, dem College von „Herr der Ringe“-Autor J.R.R. Tolkien und einigen der zahlreichen Schauplätze, wo auch Harry Potter-Filme gedreht wurden geführt. Die Tour war besonders interessant für unsere jugendlichen Austauschschüler aus Deutschland und Sophie schaffte es durch ihre unterhaltsame Art, unsere Schüler:innen für die Kultur und Geschichte der Stadt zu begeistern. Sophies Begeisterung und ihr Wissen machten die Tour zu einem tollen Erlebnis. Absolut empfehlenswert!"

  • "The guided tour in Oxford with Sophie as our tour guide was very varied and stimulating. She took us to some of the most famous places in Oxford city center such as the Radcliffe Camera, the many small boutiques and restaurants in the Covered Market, the college of "Lord of the Rings" author J.R.R. Tolkien and some of the numerous locations where Harry Potter films were shot. The tour was particularly interesting for our young exchange students from Germany and Sophie managed to get our students excited about the culture and history of the city with her entertaining manner. Sophie's enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour a great experience. Highly recommended!"

  • "Fundiert und kurzweilig Sophie hat uns durch Oxford geführt und es war für alle ein Genuss! Es war informativ, kurzweilig und auch für Schülerinnen und Schüler, die noch nie in der Stadt waren, die beste Möglichkeit, ein Gefühl für diese tolle Stadt zu bekommen. Sie konnte aber auch denen noch etwas Neues erzählen, die schon glaubten, alles über Oxford zu wissen. Ein besonderes Highlight war der Besuch eines sonst verschlossenen Colleges. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert!"

  • " Well-founded and entertaining Sophie guided us through Oxford and it was a pleasure for everyone! It was informative, entertaining and the best way for students who had never been to the city to get a feel for this great city. But she was also able to tell something new to those who thought they already knew everything about Oxford. A particular highlight was the visit to an otherwise closed college. Overall, highly recommended!"

  • You may remember you did a half day guiding in Oxford for our Hong Kong group back in June. My boss has just returned from visiting our clients in Asia and I wanted to let you know that they were extremely happy with their time with you and had a really positive experience, so thank you very much for this!
