“I love Oxford in the Spring. The days are slowly becoming longer and brighter, and locals are soaking in the first warm rays of sun. Everything is coming to life. There is no better picture than seeing the magnolias blooming outside the quiet limestone and the alleys around New College against the blue sky.”

“Oxford is probably my favourite place in the world and that for multiple reasons. It is a platform for knowledge and cultural exchange, attracting some of the best researchers in their fields, professionals and curious visitors alike. Being here and walking the roads that some of the most brilliant minds have, inspires me.”

“My love of Oxford goes back many years and every time I visit I see something new and exciting. It really is a magical city steeped in so much fascinating history, as well as being a leading hub of worldwide technological and scientific innovation. Being a professional engineer who also has a deep love of history, art and architecture, Oxford has always been a fascinating attraction for me and it is a pleasure to share this enthusiasm with our visitors.”

“I’ve always felt that Oxford is a magical place, ever since I first moved here. It has so much to offer! It is a place where history left its mark on the world. Oxford can offer an abundance of information and attractions, in a variety of fields, whether it’s art, history or technology. In my books, Oxford is definitely a must-visit city. I do hope you will find Oxford as beautiful and amazing as I do, and I would enjoy having you on a tour of discovery of the amazing City of Oxford!”

“Oxford embraces everyone with its warm and accepting arms, which is why I have loved my years living, studying and working in this city. It presents its culture, values and opportunities as soon as one steps foot into the city. Friendships made here are for life, as the rich academic environment from both universities has attracted many people alike with similar goals. Opportunities bloom from inspiration and conversations, leading to world-class scientific discoveries and humanitarian contributions.”

‘I have always loved showing people around Oxford it has a fascinating history, beautiful architecture and incredible connections with people and events. I still get excited about showing visitors the unusual aspects of the city that most would not see- such as the remains of the medieval defensive ditch. I have lived in Oxford for over forty years and think I know the city intimately, but am still learning and being surprised. I think the best time to see it is in Autumn. It is not so busy but the light on cool clear days is wonderful when the atmospheric nature is shrouded in the Thames Valley mist.’
