Hi there, my name is Andy! I’m a PhD student with a passion for adventure and storytelling. I love bringing history to life, making it engaging, fun, and easy to connect with. My tours are about more than dates and names—I want you to feel the spirit of the place, its hidden gems, and the stories that make it truly unique. When I’m not studying or guiding, you’ll probably find me lost in the rhythm of music, dancing, or off exploring new corners of the world. I can’t wait to share my love for history and culture with you and make your walk an experience you’ll remember!

Tour description

Tales of Scholars, Rebels & Dreamers
Imagine stepping into a city where every cobblestone whispers tales of scholars, rebels, dreamers, and legends. Oxford isn’t just a place—it’s a living storybook. And I invite you to walk through its pages with me.


📖 Where our story begins

We’ll start with something whimsical—Alice’s Shop (yes, the Alice of Wonderland). From there, we’ll step into grandeur at Christ Church, home to both real-world history and scenes that inspired Hogwarts.


Into the heart of Oxford

We’ll explore the secrets of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, and stand in awe before the Radcliffe Camera. From there, Oxford’s scholarly heart beats stronger in the Bodleian Library: Old Schools Quadrangle, where generations of minds shaped the world.


Passing by the Bridge of Sighs, we’ll marvel at the Sheldonian Theatre, then appreciated the wonders in the History of Science Museum.


⚔️ Where myths and truths collide

The shadows of martyrs linger by the Martyrs’ Memorial, and the legacy of scholars continues as we end our tale at the gates of St John’s College.


🎭 Why this tour?

On this tour, you won’t just hear history, you’ll feel it. You’ll walk where Lewis Carroll found Wonderland, where scientists rewrote the universe, where secret societies whispered in candlelight.


Ready to turn the pages of Oxford’s living story?

Join me, and let’s unlock this city together. Book your spot now—because Oxford’s secrets are waiting for you.
