Maem(?) was our tour guide, and she said it was her last day. She was an amazing tour guide! We learned a lot about Oxford University!

Seb was an amazing guide with a wealth of knowledge. I appreciated his approach and personality. He was engaging and his history of being a student provided insight…not just to follow a script, but to share his own experience as well. Well done!
