Really enjoyed my walking tour with...

Patricia S

, Jan 2018

Really enjoyed my walking tour with Martin who was informative, entertaining and obviously very enthusiastic about Oxford. He adapted the tour to my walking pace and included information from hundreds of years ago right through to Morse, Lewis, Endeavour and Harry Potter! thank goodness for grandchildren. Seeing the buildings, quadrangles, colleges and chapels was wonderful, not to mention the stained glass windows.
