"Oxford is dominated by its colleges, sprawling throughout the city. My wife and I found your two walks fascinating - a great way to learn more about Oxford's history and the part the university played. We had a wonderful few hours, and ending where it does, a sheer delight!"
"Yesterday my sister and I had a brilliant day in Oxford following the Town and Gown walk in your Curious About... Oxford book. We had a fantastic time, and it gave us an opportunity to look at new things we'd never noticed before in a very familiar city to us. Thank you."
