Oxford University Walking Tour mit Fortgeschrittener

Wonderful experience, Trystan was an excellent guide very informative really enjoyed the experience

This tour of Oxford was incredible! My guide, Sam Day, was so knowledgeable about historic and modern Oxford culture, and his love for the city and university was clear. He had several amusing anecdotes and covered thousands of years of history in a comprehensive and entertaining way. His experience as an Oxford student gave us a valuable glimpse into what life looks like at this incredible school. Highly recommend!!!

I took a group of American university students on a walking tour of Oxford with Jacob and Sam, two recent grads. We split into two groups to provide a more intimate experience. Jacob J. and Sam D. were both great. They wanted to get to know our interests and background and provided an in depth and balanced description of Oxford student life and the subtle and nuanced history of town/gown relationships. We left the tour more knowledgeable about Oxford's academic and social history and with an understanding of the role Oxford plays in the modern British academic and economic world. In addition, we were touring on a very hot day and our guides did great job of being sensitive to the needs of the group for shade and water. I would definitively use Footprints Tours again as the student guides provide an unique perspective that my students very much appreciated.

Elena was the best! Her knowledge about medieval oxford and the university system, and her enthusiastic delivery made this tour well worth it. 2 hours flew by!

If you go to Oxford, look for Hanna Bailey! As a Canadian tourist, I felt so lucky to have her. Hanna is incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining, especially when sharing stories about the famous rivalries between Trinity and Balliol colleges. She is also a total pro—when a wedding in one of the libraries hijacked our tour time, she navigated the change flawlessly. I have nothing but amazing things to say. Hands down the best tour guide in Oxford!

The guide we had talked extensively while stopped. It took us 34 minutes to begin walking towards anything significant at the beginning of our tour. While informative, I believe we would have hit more ground if our tour guide could also walk and talk at the same time, to make the historical aspects shorter and more condensed throughout.

Ross was our guide and he was FANTASTIC! He had a ton of cool knowledge about the school and campus as he got his PhD there and is not a professor. Highly reccomend him and this tour.

I did the free walking tour with Sam. It lasted a bit over two hours, and he shared the history of the most important colleges within Oxford. Sam was an excellent guide—very engaging and funny in his storytelling. I learned a lot about the history, gathered some great facts about the university, and got a real insight into what it’s like to study there based on his own experience as a student.

We enjoyed this tour and would do it again. Sam, our tour guide and Oxford alumni, taught us a lot of history – from the Vikings to the present. He also gave us a real sense of what life is like for an Oxford student. Sam shared lots of stories and anecdotes about university life through the years. This tour was packed with history, too much to remember but enough to really appreciate and admire this part of the world.

Thorsten showed us around the university precinct and gave us an insight into student life at the colleges.
