Guide #65563

I studied and worked at Oxford University, and still live in the city, I have a deep understanding of both 'town and gown' and I feel privileged to live in this beautiful and fascinating place. As an Oxford undergraduate, I took a degree in politics, philosophy, and economics before spending my career working in a range of UK and international organisations. My final full-time role was back at Oxford University in a senior management role. I now split my time between: non-executive and trustee roles in the health and charity sector; providing tailored tours of Oxford; cycling with my wife; and climbing and mountaineering. I love to use my deep understanding and knowledge of Oxford and its history to help visitors get the most out of their visit to the city. Before your visit, I like to build an understanding of your interests so that I can personalise the tour. A Qualified first aider A Qualified mountain leader. Full UK Driver's License. I have a full DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check clearance. None

    This was a great tour. We learned so much . The guide attended oxford so his insight was very welcome. He stoped for a cup of tea whenever we wanted and he never rushed us . I can only say it was first class and worth the money .

We were able to enter places where admission is limited to alumni, and hear so many stories from his days there. There is so much more to Oxford than we ever imagined, and he framed it all beautifully. My only regret is now that I know how they teach...

    Julian was a very knowledgeable guide that took us inside several Oxford colleges that were not open to the public and shared his inside knowledge of Oxford and the 30 colleges that are included in the university! Julian was a pleasure to be with that had a passion and love for the city that was obvious throughout our tour. We highly recommend him for anyone interested in...

    ulian gave us an outstanding, memorable visit to Oxford for my twelve-year-old grandson, who was keen to see the esteemed institution. On our day trip from London, we received a comprehensive learning session, not just a tour. Julian started with a thorough overview of the region, the city, and the evolution of Oxford's education system—from religious beginnings to the...
