Zeer informatief

Rondleiding was zeker de moeite waard, in anderhalf uur veel te weten gekomen over de geschiedenis van Oxford, de gebouwen en de bewonders. Eén opmerking: in New College was the Hall gesloten. De gids zegde toe dat -wie the Hall de dag erna evengoed wilde bezichtigen- de toegang niet nog eens betaald hoefde te worden. Dat bleek niet waar. De cassierès wisten ook te vertellen dat de gids dit vaker aan groepen toezegde terwijl hij heel goed van het beleid op de hoogte is. Niet netjes van de gids...

It was enjoyable to have an alumna guide who knew about life at Oxford Uni but the group, at 15 was too large. My teens would have liked a bit more info on where Harry Potter was filmed. It would have been good to go inside the colleges but this was not possible due to Covid however we did go into the Divinity room which was beautiful.. The guide was happy to answer any questions and was very amenable.

Rainy day, but nice, as it was quiet. Edward, our guide was excellent. He paced the tour well, described what we saw and gave some ideas where to go after the tour. We went to The Turf Tavern for a beer, and had cup of coffee in the Congregation room. Edward answered all our questions, told us interesting anecdotes, and also included just enough personal information to make Oxford more interesting.
