Hi there! Nice to meet you

Ben

Hello! I'm a born-and-bred Oxonian whose love for this magical city runs as deep as its centuries-old roots. As an official Green Badge guide, I can take you to places most visitors never see. But what sets my tours apart?

My background in film and television gives you a unique behind-the-scenes perspective – I could show you countless film locations from the silver screen hiding in plain sight, including Harry Potter and Wonka.

I could reveal the stories of the Anglo-Saxons & Vikings through ancient alleyways, or those of Literary Greats like Tolkien, Lewis and Wilde. I could even explore, with you, what life is like at the best university in the world - it's your choice.

Let's explore the Oxford that tourists see in guidebooks and the one that only locals know.

Our guide (Ben) gave a great introduction or the City balancing the history with fun facts. We did this on D day one of a three day visit and it set us up with other good places to see and things to do.Great way to start a short Break

An excellent tour by Ben who tailored it to the interests of the group and shared the history, architecture and the areas in various films. He had taken the Oxford guide exam so we knew that he would be good. Have already recommended it to family.Very Knowledgable Guide
