Punting was a great experience. Our guide Jude was very friendly and we had fun chatting with him. A must do if you are in Oxford.
Tabitha was very nice but we felt her tour was lacking energy and it was difficult to understand her. She seemed to be on her phone texting a lot whenever we had down time. I have taken many tours and thought this was very expensive for what we got.
Dear customer, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm pleased to hear that you found Tabina friendly, but I'm sorry that the tour didn't meet your expectations overall. I'd just like to clarify one point regarding your comment about her being on her phone. During the tour, we did have a guest who was running late, and Tabina was communicating with our management team to coordinate and try to accommodate them. I completely understand, however, that from a guest's perspective this may have appeared distracting, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your comments regarding the energy, clarity of delivery, and overall experience are also very valuable to us. We regularly review feedback with our guides, and we'll certainly discuss these points with Tabina as part of her ongoing training. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We genuinely appreciate it as it helps us continue improving our tours. Can you please email us at info@alumni.tours so that we could make things right for you? Kind regards, Monich Alumni Tours
Beautiful exoerience knowledgable and friendly guide
Morgan was a great guide. He knew a lot of facts. He was happy to answer any and all questions that we had and we would 100% go again.
It was fun, particularly watching those that hadn't hired a guide to punt for them. Nick our guide made it a very relaxing experience with some entertainment thrown in by way of some interesting facts that he used to quiz us.
The punting was good, very relaxing and enjoyable scenery. One thing that could be improved is the ‘guided’ part. The workers were all very young, which is great, I appreciate young people wanting to work and earn money. However there was very little local knowledge and we would have really appreciated hearing a bit more information about Oxford on our trip. Especially as it was sold to us as a guided private tour. There were a few instances where we asked questions or for recommendations and the answer was ‘there’s really not a lot to do around here’. Maybe the workers could be given a little bit of information and facts to read up on so they are prepared to answer questions or give information rather than just a relatively silent 30 minute punt.
Nice boat and setting, but we were expecting some history from the guide, and we got very little of that.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We aim to provide a strong balance of historical knowledge and engaging storytelling, and all of our guides are local students or alumni who are trained to deliver accurate and insightful content. It’s disappointing to hear that this wasn’t your experience on this occasion. We truly value feedback like yours, as it helps us improve. If you’d be willing, please do email us at info@alumni.tours with a few more details about your tour, so we can look into this further and take appropriate steps to ensure a better experience in the future. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
A delightful experience with a very knowledgeable tender with good historyin the business. Friendly staff all around.
Alfie was our captain. He was kind and warm to interact with. He gave us a brief history of the tour and the place. He also drove past some ducks which made my daughter very happy.
The man who was presented as an “expert guide” had very little studied knowledge of Orkney and Kirkwell. He did not speak of anything historic or seem to have many facts of interest. This was a private tour yet he arrived to say we had to come back to the pier in a few hours to pick up a second couple. However, his vehicle was very small so he proceeded to drive us back to HIS HOME to trade out his car for a van!! Why didn’t he have this vehicle in the beginning? Why was he given or why did he elect to take the second couple at the disadvantage of us as customers? We watched other private and group guides during the day and were greatly disappointed that our guide was woefully incompetent in this regard. He was a very sweet, kind and courteous “guy” but he should not be sent out as an expert “guide”! We had to buy guides, and sneak closer to other guides and groups to get a better understanding of each stop. We used Wikipedia and Google Scan because our guide simply did not seem to know the types of historical facts we had hoped to learn. This was an expensive tour and a shameful waste of money! This poor man was probably thinking he could get by with his limited knowledge except we were painfully aware from the first moment we sat in his vehicle!
I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into writing this review, and I also want to express our sympathy for your situation. It is always unfortunate when a trip is spoiled by someone else’s mistakes. That said, I believe this review may have been intended for a different tour, as our guides are punters in Oxford and specialise in Oxford’s history, not Orkney. May I kindly ask you to remove this review here and place it with the correct tour?
