The tour was great, with access to one of the colleges at Oxford along with the Divinity School. Sam was informative and funny and we were able to see many interesting aspects of how the school functions as well as historic landmarks.

It was an excellent tour. We were lucky to get Tom who was both knowledgeable and personal. We were also very lucky the group size was just four.
