Visite guidée du palais de Blenheim au départ d'Oxford - visites privées

This private tour was much more than advertised. Peter, our incredibly knowledgeable guide, gave us an informative discussion of the Marlboroughs/Churchills over coffee and tea before the actual tour of Blenheim Palace began, providing historical context for our exploration. The tour itself was wonderful, unhurried, and thoroughly enjoyable. After returning to Oxford, Peter even gave us some extra time and pointed out some important sites around the University, including an amazing, ancient, back-alley pub where we finished our day. Peter obviously loves what he does, which is a great thing for his clients. Highly, highly recommend. --Daryl and Myra from Tennessee

The trip to Blenheim Place was thoroughly enjoyable, primarily because of our guide Peter. His knowledge of the site, its history, and the surrounding area was outstanding. He answered all our questions and took us through the palace and around the property at a relaxing pace. He was an excellent host. I highly recommend this tour.

We had an outstanding tour with Peter and Rinata (guide -in -training) to Blenheim Palace and beyond. Peter was very knowledgeable about Blenheim and Oxford and was extremely thorough in his commentary. Blenheim history and architecture were just the start of his guidance. It was a very crowded May 26, but Peter navigation was excellent with bus transport, ticket arrangements, and managing to convey information, despite the numerous visitors. We appreciated his thoughtfulness in bringing us a delightful sweet treat. We had time for a cup of tea at Blenheim to go with it! We were given a beautiful book about Blenheim which we both will enjoy reading. Upon returning to Oxford, Peter was so generous with this time. He pointed out more interesting facts about Oxford, took us to the largest (and very fascinating) bookstore and encouraged us to attend Christ Church Evensong, which we did. It was a wonderful suggestion along with a delicious dinner in his recommended Italian restaurant. Our day with Peter was engaging, stimulating, and fun! We would highly recommend his private tour.

Hats off to Alasdair and our tour guide, Mike! My friend and I had a fantastic time touring the idyllic pasturelands and historical sites of the Cotswolds thanks to our guide's cheery attitude and professionalism. Mike insights proved that it takes a local to truly know a place, and while we were distracted and wowed by the scenery, he ensured that we reached our destinations in a timely fashion and all together. Many thanks for making such a wonderful day possible! I highly recommend Visit Oxford Tours for your vacation excusion to the Cotswolds as well.

We had a most enjoyable time with our very knowledgeable and friendly guide Peter, who gave us a very good account of the history of the Palace.

The palace is impressive and my guide, Tom, was most engaging and full of knowledge about its history.

Thoughtful and knowledgeable guide. Thank you Peter! Blenheim and Oxford history came alive. Thank you also for all the pictures!

Excellent tour, superb tour guide-- knowledgeable, informative, and personable. Peter made an extra effort to provide a memorable tour of Blenheim Palace and grounds and the many sights of interest in Oxford. He was insightful while being entertaining. We were thankful that he supplied us with local treats throughout the day. He truly gave us a "locals tour". Highly recommend Oxford Walking Tour combined with Blenheim Palace and Grounds.

We had a great day on our e-bike tour of the Cotswolds with Cotswolds Bike Tours. Alasdair's colleague, Laura, toured us around to Roman ruins, manor ruins, picturesque villages, churches and a nice lunch spot. Laura had a lot of background information to share at our various stops, which was very educational. The bikes were in excellent condition -- very new. We highly recommend this tour!

I was sceptical initially about visiting another palace or castle in Britain. However, after the visit to Blenheim Palace I have second thoughts now. My wife and I both have Peter our guide to thank. He was not only most knowledgeable of the tour but he went way beyond the norm by making our trip most meaningful and memorable one although this is already the 4th palace/castle we have visited in UK since our arrival in September. Peter was well prepared for the tour and made it simple and most interesting. He even carried an umbrella in the event it rain which it did at the end of the tour. On top of that at the end of the visit, Peter also kindly arranged tea for us and some English goodies to sample in the form of chocolate caramel shortcake and also oatmeal and raisin biscuits at the garden terrace of Bleiheim Palace. It allowed us to truly appreciate the magnificient view of this ?estate. At the end of the paid tour Peter in his own time gave us a quick introduction and run around Oxford so that it will be easier for us when we do our cycle and walking tour of Oxford the next day. Tqvm, Peter you had made a real difference!! Cheers
