Pritisha was a brilliant guide. Relaxed, knowledgeable, and thorough with a real flair for story telling. There was only our party of four on the tour so she (plus Brandon who was shadowing her), was really flexible when we wanted to take minor detours before getting us back on track. Chatting to Pritisha along the walk about college life and her Oxford experience was lovely. A brilliant tourguide!

We did an Oxford University tour with Gabrielle and it was awesome! He was super friendly and made the tour interesting for our teens. We saw lots of marvellous sites and even managed to get into the Divinity School with Gabrielle. This was a highlight. Gabrielle explained about how the university system worked, how to get etc...plus differences between the colleges. He explained the university's history and showed us some famous sites. He shared some funny stories about the various colleges too. Very entertaining for everyone.

extremely pleasant and thoroughly interesting experience. Great way to get to know Oxford, its colleges and their traditions. It does not include visits inside the campuses but the tour ends exactly in front of Christ Church thus giving the possibility to buy the ticket and visit this College. Very good guide (Indian student at Oxford)
