“Chris is an absolute gem of a guide. Having attended Oxford himself, along with his impressive background in religion, architecture and British history it was an unforgettable experience. Equal parts personal, humor and historical we were all mesmerized by Chris stories and highlights that I guarantee you won’t get on any other tour. We traveled with our 11 and 13 year old sons and they were equally engaged as Chris made the experience relevant to us as much as them. He was also kind enough to point out places to have lunch before we arrived and other sites to see in Oxford. A treasured experience we will never forget. Thank…”
