Once we got to someone to help us, the tour was great.
Shelley_M

The Guide for our 1:00 tour did not show up and there was no phone number provided to find out what happened. Finally after texting and calling Viator we were contacted by the manager of the tour guides and he did not know what happened. He offered 20% off the price of the tickets and that we could do the tour at 3:00 with Josie. Josie was fabulous!

He was very social and told everything very enthusiastically you could really notice that he really likes to do this. It was really nice to be shown around by a student. We even got an extra look at some college's I highly recommended to do this tour with Seb(Sebastian)as tour guide.

Informative and insightful, without being overly theatrical
Angela_A
, Jan 2022
This was a very enjoyable tour. TBH, I was a bit concerned when I turned up and it was just myself and my partner (we usually prefer to slip into the background and listen in rather than participate). However Archie was a pleasure to converse with and made us feel very at ease. Archie asked us what our main points of interests were and was able to tailor the tour for our preferences. The tour was informative and insightful, without being overly theatrical (thank god!).

A truely great experience and education of the Oxford Universities and its history .
Shenaz_S
, Jan 2022
We had the most fantastic experience of our tour with the tour guide Archie. He was very friendly and very experienced in his knowledge of the Oxford univerities, its architecture , history and was very able to respond to our questions and queries. He was honest about the reality of the university culture of retaining tradition and the good and bad about it. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone and the 2 hours just flew by as his talk was so engaging, interactive and inspirational. A total thumbs up for Archie!
