Walking Tour: Eccentric Oxford

The “Eccentric Oxford” walking tour with Richard is quite a good experience. The first great thing about this tour is that most of the time the group will be on the small side. This seems to be because this tour gets mostly local folks or those who have looked for tours on Daily Info.
Richard himself has quirky mannerisms and humour, which makes the whole thing fun and more memorable. He does these tours in his spare time and he is very knowledgeable and more than willing to shape the tour around your particular interests (if the group is small enough). On the particular day I went we had 3 people and he shaped the tour around our work and personal interests in Oxford. With me being new to Oxford (and the UK) he added some extra basic info as needed. His tour consisted of the brief history of the places we saw, with some very interesting tidbits that most may never bring up (do you know the 3 tell-tale signs that enable you to spot a prostitute?!). The tour does not go a great distance around Oxford, so there is no need to fear that you can’t handle the walk, the pace, or the amount of time for the tour. In fact our tour, though it was supposed to be 100 minutes, was closer to 120 minutes and none of us realized it as Richard had kept us that fascinated. It is recommended you email him before hand if you prefer a smaller group...or you can do as I did and just show up. Richard's tours are far more memorable than the other larger ones on offer in the city - and only £5! Tom Merritt, 27/06/08 |
