Free walking tours in Oxford

David is a true Oxion with complete knowledge of the place and great local in sights .

David is an awesome guide and a lovely person. However, in the tour he references many British people and uses some technical words that I (as a non native english speaker) found difficult to catch. I would recommend this tour to people from UK but not really to people from other countries unless they have some background in British history.

David was a wonderful guide. Due to bad weather, others in the group cancelled the last minute but David still met me and gave me a private tour. I can tell he was very passionate about Oxford, his home town and wanted to tell everyone about it!

David ha sabido perfectamente transmitir su amor por su ciudad natal, además de dar información interesante y estar pendiente de nosotros.

This is my second Guru Walk with David. When I Met him on September it was so good that I told him I would come back with my parents. This is what I did. And in this second time again he was incredibly generous with his knowledge but also his kindness to answer to all the questions and patience because we had to translate to my parents in Spanish. I would definitely recommend a walk with him because you will feel closer to what the actual life in Oxford is like. And it would be like walking with the a very good friend.

Excellent tour! I have done other free tours in Oxford and this was my favourite. David is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Oxford. I highly recommend this tour

A pesar del frío, David se esmero para que el tour fuera interesante, dinámico y entretenido. Recomendaría hacer el tour con David

It was an absolute pleasure and educational tour that we had the opportunity to accompany with David. His knowledge and passion for his work is remarkable. He is a very kind person and even gave us souvenirs at the conclusion of our trip. It was ome of the best tours I’ve ever had!

David was super friendly and engaging! Made the tour interactive and loved the quizzes he would sometimes bake in!! Thanks Dave!!

Being an Ocfordian, our guide Dave Dales is exceptionally knowledgeable about the town Oxford and its colleges. He is passionate about the rich history and vibrant culture of Oxford. Just for 2 hrs, we’ve learned a lot from him, and gotten the highlights of the past and present of Oxford.

David was very friendly, knowledgeable, informative,entertaining and accomodated everyone in the group. Highly recommend. Thanks

An excellent and entertaining introduction to Oxford, led by a very knowledgeable guide. Thank you, David!

Thank you so much David for such a fantastic tour of Oxford! The tour was equally informing as it was engaging and will stand out as the highlight of our day! David is an incredibly knowledgeable guide and the content was comprehensive without being overwhelming, a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!

My mother and I had such a wonderful experience on the free walking tour in Oxford! David was incredibly friendly, warm, and knowledgeable - you could tell he genuinely loved sharing the city’s history and hidden gems. He also gave us fantastic recommendations for food, places to visit, and even options for staying over, which made our trip even better. We truly appreciated his thoughtfulness, and we would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Oxford! Until we meet again!

Couldn’t ask for a better guided experience. Thank you David, for your knowledge and enthusiasm, you are fantastic!

The tour with David was an AMAZING experience. The rain was really against us and even then he tailored it for us to be comfortable. The information and history facts he gave are fascinating and definitely show a true love and passion for Oxford. David is a very kind, professional, well-read and even warm guide. I truly hope to have another occasion to have a tour with him to explore the in-depths of Oxford.

Andy is a really passionate Guide and it’s fun to listen to his way of (hi-)storytelling always providing little interesting anecdotes, quotes and fun facts about Oxford city and university. Would totally recommend!

Despite the pouring rain David’s enthusiasm did not waiver. David was very professional, kind, and tailored the tour to our interests and questions. He was patient and helpful with local suggestions. We have done multiple walking tours around Europe. I would highly recommend David as your tour guide around Oxford.

Had an awesome tour of with Andy around Oxford. The weather was very British in November but umbrella helped. Interesting details of Oxford and places you would've not have known to visit.

David nagyszerű idegenvezető volt! Lelkesen és részletesen mesélt a városról, a történelemről, a szokásokról. Nagyon lendületes, felkelti és fenntartja az érdeklődést! Köszönjük szépen az élményt! Reméljük még találkozunk!

I was lucky enough to have a private tour - everyone else didn't show up. Andy is a history PHD student was knowledgeable and a great guide. He ended up personalising the tour a bit to suit my interests which was a fun twist! Nothing like having a local show you things that are up your alley. Even went so far as to show me individual feature pieces inside some of the museums! For someone who's never been to Oxford before I would highly recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful time on our Oxford walking tour with David. He was such a lovely and knowledgeable guide, sharing fascinating stories about the city’s history, university life, and famous landmarks. From the Weston Library to the Radcliffe Camera and the charming Covered Market, every stop was brought to life by David’s engaging explanations and friendly personality. He made the tour both informative and enjoyable, and we learned so much without ever feeling rushed. David’s passion for Oxford really shines through, and his attention to detail made the experience special. This tour is perfect for anyone wanting to discover Oxford’s beauty, history, and hidden corners. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oxford, it’s the best way to experience the city! Thank you David 😊 With regards, Theo

Really enjoyed this walk! Andy shared his historical expertise with some fun facts and quotes which was really great. He also provided time for washroom breaks and even to check out one of the stores - I found this nice because usually on walking tours there are places I intend to go back to but miss the chance. I also liked that he took us into some of the museums and explained the pieces rather than keep us outside. Overall, one of the best walking tours I’ve taken because it was very interactive.

Interesting and informative 2 hour 30 minute tour of the key sites in Oxford. Our tour guide Andy was kind, entertaining and knowledgeable. Highly Recommended!
