Oxford Private Pub And City Evening Walking Tour

It was such an enjoyable evening! This tour is an excellent way to get to know Oxford, learn about the city and the university, and experience some of its iconic pubs, all while listening to the fascinating stories the guide, Matias, shares along the way. We explored literary Oxford, visited pubs connected to student life, discovered hidden gems and medieval taverns, and finished at a historic pub once associated with trade and money. An experience I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who enjoys real ales, great storytelling, and cities with medieval roots.

A wonderful evening tour experience with a very interesting guide in Oxford! What a way to spend a lovely evening exploring the city and having a drink too :) Would recommend!

Please arrive 5 minutes early for your tour at our meeting point. If you arrive more than 5 minutes later than the scheduled tour, then you could possibly forfeit and lose your booking as it interrupts the guide and other customers, if we are trying to find you after a guide has started and left the meeting point. INFO FOR DRIVERS AND PARKING: If you are driving, then please allow extra 30-60 minutes over whatever time you think it will take you to get here.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT: We actually recommend instead using the much faster and reliable train services but again please aim to arrive about an hour or earlier before your tour starts as trains can be delayed and the train and coach station are about 15 minutes walk from our meeting point.

Sorry dat ik stoor, maar waar we de review echt nodig hebben, is op de tourpagina waar jullie de boeking hebben gedaan, aangezien we al ongeveer 1.000 reviews voor het bedrijf hebben. Het echte probleem dat ik eerder noemde, is dat we sommige tours hebben, zoals de tourproductpagina waar ik jullie naartoe heb verwezen om te boeken, die simpelweg over het hoofd wordt gezien bij Viator-zoekopdrachten door toeristen... totdat het eerst 15 reviews bereikt. Dus als we je nog een paar minuten kunnen storen, kun je dan alsjeblieft teruggaan naar je bevestigingsmail van de boeking op Viator en waar het zegt , het daar opnieuw openen en dan een review plaatsen – zelfs als het gewoon 5 sterren zonder commentaar is – naast die specifieke Viator-tourpagina. Hier is de Viator-pagina voor de tourpagina waar je uiteindelijk bij ons hebt geboekt.

IK HEB HEM IETS AANGEPAST OM BETER TE PASSEN BIJ HET FEIT DAT HET EEN CAFETOCHT MOET ZIJN: Oxford tour with TomTripadvisor review: Visit Oxford ToursWe had the most wonderful tour of Oxford with Tom and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Tom was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Oxford and the shows. He knew so many interesting facts, not only about Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis, but about Oxford itself, which made the tour so much more enjoyable. He even threw in some Harry Potter facts because he remembered that I love Harry Potter, which was such a lovely personal touch! Unfortunately, the weather took a turn and it started absolutely chucking it down with rain. Tom kindly gave me his umbrella and ended up getting soaked himself without complaining once. He also took some really lovely photos of me and my dad, making sure we had some special memories to take home with us. Eventually, the rain became so heavy that we had to cut the tour short, but Tom was so lovely and understanding throughout. His kindness, knowledge and enthusiasm really made the experience special despite the weather. I would 100% recommend Tom to anyone looking to do an Oxford tour. He was fantastic, and when I come back to Oxford, I’ll definitely be booking another tour with him! Thank you so much, Tom! ❤️

Alasdair's countenance shakes speares. We wended our way around Oxford, dodging the ghosts of August Past. When we got to the Turf, we ruminated. We had a choice between the Plough, the Crown and the middle of Orion's belt. We chose the Bear.

Peter our tour guide was very informative and friendly. We learned so many interesting facts about Oxford and visited some very cool pubs.

Our guided tour was very fun! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! He made sure to link the tour to our interests.

Peter was an excellent guide for this tour, full of informative stories and a wealth of historical information. The tour had the potential to be awkward as I was the only one on it, but Peter was an excellent companion and I thoroughly enjoyed the pub visits and will take advantage of some of his food and sightseeing recommendations.

We had a great pub tour with Alisdair! It was a perfect mix of city history and sites and stops at some of the historic pubs around town. Alisdair is very knowledgable and has great stories to tell. It was a great introduction to Oxford!

Peter was an excellent guide for my husband, friend and myself as we explored Oxford our first night in town. We had a couple of pints throughout the tour and got a mix of history including the university, literary figures, and even a touch of Harry Potter. Peter was very knowledgeable and gave a great overview of the city, including many tips and tricks for the remainder of our stay. Would happily join one of this company's tours again!

Tour organised for a group of European colleagues visiting Oxford for the first time. Alasdair our guide was excellent in his knowledge & delivery & set exactly the right level between the sights & the pubs. The feedback from every member of our group was excellent with everyone enjoying the whole evening.

I had arranged this tour for my family from the US. Having no expectations, we came away from this fun and informative tour with the sense of having been treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide happened to be the owner of the company and had to track us down at our hotel because we had not arrived at the decided location on time. He very kindly picked us up and off we went to walk in the footsteps of history...via the local pubs! Don't miss this tour if you plan to spend a night in Oxford. We met new and interesting people by sharing a table in one of the pubs and the conversation and education were entertaining and memorable. The tour (because of the season) was a private one and we felt extremely lucky to have experienced it all.

<p>The tour guide, Peter, was excellent. He is a native of Oxford and very knowledgeable.</p>

<p>This was a super tour for us. This tour costs more than the other pub tours on offer but it was worth it. The tour is configured for no more than six people unlike other pub tours and we were lucky as for us it turned out to be a private tour. Also, we were pleasantly surprised, although the description does not indicate this, our guide picked up the drinks tab so I got to taste test three different ciders as my wife tried three different ales.</p> <p>Because it was graduation night, the pubs often attended by students were very busy -- so the guide chose a couple of 'town-locals'. When we encountered too much of a crowd at the third pub, our guide revised things and we went to the Oxford Union club -- since our guide is a masters student at Oxford. That got us into an entirely different environment and we quietly sipped our drinks the cider at the club is NOT as nice as the ciders at pubs though -- it isn't their forte, and chatted for quite a while about Oxford, our travels, his travels and things in general. </p> <p>A very genial evening indeed.</p> <p>At the end, our guide walked us back to our AirBNB apartment which was rather a nice touch.</p>

It was a very pleasant and interesting tour. Matías, our guide, took us to the oldest pubs, each with its own story. In the end, he took us to a very good pub for dinner to try the typical meat pie while we watched a World Cup match.
