Jaye Johnson was an incredible tour guide for our day trip to Oxford. She's knowledgeable on everything from the history of world events to current headlines and pop culture. Jaye infused our time with interesting anecdotes full of humor and relevance. Her genuine care of the area was evident in how proudly she spoke in detail of Oxford, its people and its future. Her kindness and her consideration for us on the tour were truly appreciated, and we left completely enriched in our introduction to Oxford.
