Footprints Tours was created to show you the best of Britain in the most entertaining way possible; not to bore you to death with one of those dry and stuffy experiences that are so easy to find. Yes, we want to tell you all about King Henry VIII and The English Reformation, but what about The University of Oxford's annual Tortoise Race? Footprints Tours is a student start-up company, created to share the fascinating history of Oxford and various other cities. We’re not a big faceless organisation, but a group of students and locals determined to show visitors the best that England has to offer. Simple as that. It will be our pleasure to show you around.

Rita gave us a wonderful tour of the city of Cambridge. Being a graduate she knew the city very well. She brought the city alive with anecdote and history. After the walk we were able to find our way around the city with ease. She recommended we looked in on the Chapel at Pembroke College built by Sir Christopher Wren. We went on our own and found out there was a free concert of Mozart's Requiem that evening. We went at 6 pm and it was absolutely amazing!!! About fifty men and women in the choir, brought tears to our eyes and will be something we shall remember forever. Thank you Rita, you were brilliant!!!
