It was very interesting to be able to go into the private colleges and learn the stories behind some of the ex student’s stories and antics.

We did a 2 hour tour with Patrick this morning in Oxford, it was so lovely and he was very humour and knowledgeable! It made a lot of sense listening to him and watching the buildings, I would highly recommend him to my friends if they are coming later! Thanks very much Patrick for an enjoyable day!

The explanation was full of anecdotes from his time as a student but lacked relevant cultural and historical information. I missed out on some interesting points, such as Christ Church, which can be seen from the gardens, and Lewis Carroll, etc. Those of us who don't speak English found it difficult to understand because he spoke very quickly. I thought it was expensive.

Ryan’s stories about Oxford were interesting. He is enthusiastic and was able to answer any question asked to him with ease. I wish the tour would have lasted longer and covered more areas of the university though.

The tour was extremely informative yet not too overwhelming when it comes to dates or facts. Alex did a fantastic job explaining the story behind each building and guiding us through history :)
