A delightful morning in Oxford

Published on Sep, 2024

This was such a perfect way to get oriented to & immersed in the history and culture of Oxford University during our one day there as part of an extended England visit. Our tour guide Savannah was super pleasant, knowledgeable, cheerful, and patient with our many questions. A real delight. I was a little nervous about the last minute unavailability of Christ Church College for our originally expected time for the self-guided portion of the tour; however, the tour company (Oxford Alumni Tours) was good about arranging for a later time which worked fine with our schedule (if it hadn’t they offered a partial refund). We (2 couples) were very happy with the experience.
