Enjoyed the 11:00 tour today immensely. Thanks to Simon. Oxford would have been a mystery to us without his stories and insights. Genella More

44 members of Market Harborough U3A spent a most enjoyable day in Oxford. The guided walks with both Stuart and Simon were excellent, very interesting and informative.It has certainly whetted the appetites of many of us to return sometime and explore further. I could certainly recommend Oxford Walking Tours to other U3A groups. The walking is easy, not too far... More

We visited Oxford for the first time and took one of the Oxford Walking Tours. Many thanks to William who was our extremely knowledgeable guide that day. Without the tour there would have been so much that we missed, it really made our visit more enjoyable. The tour lasted 90 minutes and covered more than you may think in that... More

We arrived into the beautiful city of Oxford with only an afternoon to explore the delights which lay in store. To our great advantage, we were tempted to join a walking tour of Oxford with Stuart of Oxford Walking Tours ~ a brilliant, knowledgeable guide who shared with us his first hand knowledge of the magical world of Oxford ~...

This tour is total crap. Geoff knows some stories, but he's got no sense of presentation. He tells the stories with the crowd doing a lot of question and answer, but he also talks about how skeptical he is. It's drawn-out, repetitive, boring, and pointless. I wasn't expecting to come away believing in ghosts, but hey, at least entertain me... More

I have been on this tour twice in the last 8 months, with a different friend along each time. Although we visited most of the same places, extra information was given by Stuart, the guide, in response to questions asked by group members. At times, the nationality of a group member led to the sharing of other relevant information. As... More

We had William as our guide on the tour, and it was very informative and worth a look if you have not been to teh city before and want to find out a bit about the place. Lasted just over and hour and a half. Only thing i would say is that obviously there is a bit of walking (about... More

I originally wanted to do the ghost tour run by this company at 4pm, which according to the relevant section on the website runs until the end of March. However, on going to the booking form on the website, the day before my trip, I discovered that this pages states there is no 4pm tour at this time of year!... More

Having read through a lot of the other reviews on this attraction, I see that we (myself and my husband) are not alone in our views of our tour guide, Stuart. Earlier in the week I checked on the website and saw that the ghost tours ran at 16:00. It says (and I quote): "29th October to 30th March -... More
