Iryna

Hello! My name is Iryna, and I'm a professional historian and passionate tour guide. Originally from Ukraine, I have over 10 years of experience leading cultural and historical tours. After moving to Oxford, I fell in love with this remarkable city and its incredible stories. Today, I enjoy sharing its history, traditions, and hidden corners with visitors from around the world. My tours are based on storytelling rather than simply memorising dates. I love connecting famous places with the people who lived, studied, and changed the world here—from medieval scholars to writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, scientists, philosophers, and modern Oxford students. I believe history becomes unforgettable when it is told through real lives, humour, and fascinating details. Whether you're visiting Oxford for the first time or returning to discover more, I hope you'll leave feeling inspired by this extraordinary city. I look forward to welcoming you to Oxford! 🎓 Professional historian (Master's degree in History) 🏛️ 10+ years of guiding experience 🌍 Tours in English and Ukrainian 📖 Passionate about Oxford's history, traditions, literature, and student life ⭐ Friendly, small-group experience
