The local guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. We go to see the Divinity Rooms and could not believe its remarkable beauty. I never thought that we could get into New College but we did which was a definite highlight.
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to visit Oxford. We got the train from London Marylebone Train Station and saw some beautiful countryside too. We arrived in plenty of time to meet the guide at Oxford center where we started our tour. We also got to take some amazing photos.
