I will help you make the most of your time in Oxford!
I'm an award-winning Green Badge Oxford tour guide. I’ve lived here for over 25 years and love sharing my extensive knowledge of our city’s history and culture, taking visitors off the beaten track into its quirky corners and telling stories about its many fascinating inhabitants past and present. I have an academic background in History and English Literature and really enjoy tailoring tours to visitors' interests.
