Ľuboš – Slovakia

It was nice experience, Guider´s knowledge was brilliant, his English excelent, much better than mine :) I would preffer to get inside more buildings, not just one chappel and a Uni yard... but Mr. Anjar, excuse me if I´m wrong with his name was lovely, good spirit, clever... thank you for him

Emma – Australia

Had a lovely guide who was a student, very knowledgeable about the colleges and uni overall. It was great to get her insider’s insight on the colleges culture as well the historical side of it. Perfectly paced and good sized group.

Go inside some of the city’s most historic colleges, such as New College, founded in 1379 and more recently seen in the Harry Potter films and television productions of Inspector Morse and Lewis.

Visit Exeter College, founded in 1314, and another favorite on most tours. Stop by Hertford College, with its romantic façade and Bridge of Sighs, instantly recognizable from Brideshead Revisited. See the University Library and learn about the collegiate system unique to Oxford and Cambridge.

The tour was good. Only advice I would give would be for the tour guide to project his voice a little louder.
