If you are a traveler and not a tourist, this is the experience for you! Chris Peters is a brilliant historian whose personal insights and insider access to Trinity and Balliol was a once in a lifetime experience. It’s obvious the other tour guides admire his vast knowledge of town and gown. One student guide passed us and quipped “He knows his onions.” Highly recommend.

Engaging and personalized experience from a truly knowledgeable guide
Chris was fantastic - we absolutely recommend his services for people interested in exploring Oxford, especially the University scene. My wife and I booked a two hour tour with him today. He was knowledgable, engaging, he adjusted his delivery to our interests, and he was generous with his time. In addition to the overview of the city, its architecture and its history, he gave us a wonderful deep dive into one of the colleges; he arranged this when it was otherwise not open to visitors, so it was a very special experience. He has a long-standing and active relationship with the University, so his insights were based on real experiences.
Consistent with his tag line, he treated us as discerning travelers, and we appreciated it. Also, I recommend you book him directly to cut out the middleman.

From one Discerning Traveller to another, thank you so much for such an appreciative and splendid a review!
It goes without saying that you were ideal companions to spend time with too: warm, inquisitive and with a genuine interest in Oxford: its complex history, splendid architecture, its colleges, quirks and customs, but also its ongoing contemporary importance – just the very people I set up Tours of Oxford to cater for!
Much appreciation as well that you mentioned booking with us direct via our website rather than via a third party.
Travel well and do let me know if you are planning to visit again.
My very best wishes to you both.
Chris

Great tour
The private tour allowed us to tailor our visit to the things that meant the most to our Oxford enthusiast. It was an excellent experience. Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

Well worth it
Chris was knowledgeable, personable, and open to requests. He knows Oxford well and was able to explain the college system to us. He took us to some lovely places and gave us the history and told us about the architecture. We spent a couple of interesting and enjoyable hours in his company.

This was a. rebooking from a prior cancellation for the same date which was not adequately picked up on the booking system. I spoke with the client as soon as I became aware of the situation, offered profuse apologies and that I would meet them in Oxford to take the tour asap; this was declined, as was the offer of a discounted tour at a later date. I then authorised a complete refund.
It goes without saying how very much the client's justifiable distress and annoyance was felt. Pretty devastated here too, as we have built up and pride ourselves on our 5* reputation for quality tours and customer care. So our truly heartfelt apologies once more. In the ten years we have been operating this is a one-off. All I can offer is an assurance that the system has been rectified so this situation will not reoccur.

FANTASTIC Tour!!!
Tom far exceeded our expectations with this tour! He was so knowledgeable about all of the things that interested us - the history of the area and the University, the Inklings members, and the architecture. He was a personable and experienced guide and we had such a fun time with him. This tour was certainly one of the highlights of our visit to England!

We hit the JACKPOT!!!
Tom was personal and high-calibre from our first interaction. From the advance planning to the actual day we arrived on the train from London, he went above and beyond in multiple ways to make our three-person Inklings & Wesley Tour a remarkable experience.
I shopped around a fair bit before I found Tom as one of the tour guide team members. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made every stop fun and enjoyable. We spent several hours with him but it felt like barely a few minutes. We felt so fortunate - like we had hit the Oxford Tour guide jackpot!
事業者からの返答
Thank you so much for your splendid review and recommendation. Needless to say Tom, an acknowledge expert on all things Inkling and more, enjoyed his time with you all very much, and sends his warmest greetings!!
Beside our introductory Oxford tour, we offer themed tours covering CS Lewis and the Inklings, Oxford Architecture, and Oxford Literature, all hosted, by experts in their fields such as Tom. Just email me on chrisoxtours@gmail.com for further details.
From Tom and I - thank you once again!
