A great Oxford experience
LJS55, Jan 2024
Our trip to Oxford was wonderful thanks to the fantastic job William did as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and showed us sites we wanted to see and ones we would have never known about without his experience. We highly recommend him and look forward to our next trip to London.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Our ‘Oxford Inspires’ Day Excursion is always proved popular, and William (just like his colleagues) love to ‘get under the skin’ of this very special city, for our guests. We send our sincere gratitude for such fantastic feedback!
One of the best!

This was one of the best tours we did while in London. Our guide, Stevie, was an incredible source of facts, dates as well as fascinating stories. We enjoyed his company and learned so much. Would highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
It’s always nice to read that one of our tours was one of the best tours any guests have on their London vacation - so thank you! Stevie had a great day excursion with you guys!
Mick Is Everything
Yolanda_M, Oct 2022
From the time he walked up to me at my hotel to the time he dropped me off, he was so knowledgeable and kind! He asked me why Oxford and he made sure I had the best time. He knew about Morse! Omg! We went to the Eagle and the Child as well as the countryside. I recommend this private tour and ask for Mick. I also need to note that he was attentive to my needs as I had to rest during walking. He cates! I love him and Oxford!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
We knew that Mick Greenwood would work for you, and especially in Oxford which is one of his passions, but thanks so much for this OMG testimonial!
Beautiful city, great guide
