Hello, I'm Guy

"Not all those who wander are lost"

J. R. R. Tolkein

I would be delighted to show you around Oxford and introduce you to the fascinating cast of characters that have shaped its development.

My walks cover 1,000 years of history from the founding of the mediaeval colleges through the Civil War and the growth of the modern city and university.

From King Charles I to George Frideric Handel, Oscar Wilde, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Albert Einstein and Boris Johnson, monarchs, writers, composers, artists, scientists and politicians have left their mark on this extraordinary city where they lived, studied, worked or visited.

Apart from general tours, I offer specialist visits on art, architecture, literature, music or politics and will adapt to your requirements.

Tours are available in English & French.
