What Our Guests Say:
Great tour! Sophie hit all the points we agreed we wanted to see. The tour was well-paced, and the route was well-timed for our entry tickets. She encouraged us to come back for Evensong and helped us with parking ideas. We had a great afternoon exploring Christchurch and the Oxford area. Thanks.
Glenda Webster, USA
The tour was well thought out and Sophie was an engaging guide with a mine of interesting information, much of it new to me even as someone who's lived in Oxford for the past 30 years. Definitely recommended.
J Willams, Oxford
Sophie has encyclopedic knowledge of Oxford and its university and colleges. She planned a tour focused entirely on the requests we specified. She responded to any question we asked with a complete explanation of the subject, its place in history, and its relevance to today. She was generous with her time, careful to acknowledge our physical limitations, and patient with our pace. In some 50 years of travel, she is one of the very best tour guides we have ever met, anywhere in the world”.
R & A Coburn, USA
We really enjoyed our tour, Sophie was an engaging and informative guide leaving us with a thirst to delve deeper into the origins of the University. Her historical knowledge was fabulous and we highly recommend this tour to glimpse the hidden cloisters of college life.
