My uni tour was led by Joe, it was a good experience getting to know the lesser known facts, fun stories and history of the various places we visited as part of the tour. I would suggest everyone to go for a guided tour around the city by a student who will have such detailed information of the places and give you a sneak peek of the student life.

Very interesting and engaging 90 minutes. Johnny covered a lot of history and offered a great mix of stories, Q&A and overview - it appealed to both adults and the kids in our group and was delivered with humour and humility. Super afternoon!

Tony very entertainingly knowledgeable. An enjoyable 1 hour 40 mins. A challenge for future groups- try to get him to say the word - Oxford. Bet you can’t.

This is an absolute must do. Tony our guide is very knowledgeable but also very funny. We had a great time

Great tour from Francesco ,knowledgeable & entertaining.
