Only too true what he said about bikes. They don’t care. Where I live, we’ve got teenage boys and young men riding around on pavements at breakneck speed without number plates and without a driving licence. They need to be careful they don’t bump into any babies in prams. They might hurt themselves.

Christine, many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Cotswolds edition & particular thanks for the feedback, greatly appreciated. I couldn’t agree more with your statement to be honest, however, we had only a very small window of time to put that piece together whilst visiting the UK from our permanent location in the United States. As you can see Mother Nature was not on our side at that time of year. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.

I was born n raised in that area. From Elmira but i grew up learning about Marie Antoinette. French and Indian way. American revolution.... I've been here 2xs n i recommend it.
An American here, related to 43 of 56 Signers of the Declaration, 9 of 10 of our first Presidents, 4 Mayflower families, several Colonial & 1st American colonies Governors. I've "crossed the pond", am at Oxford furthering my genealogical research while my wife & youngest daughter, both Dartmouth College Graduate students, are attending summer classes, at Exeter College, in the centuries old student exchange program between Dartmouth College and University of Oxford. I'm a direct descendent of the Earls Of Pembroke, namesake of 400 years old Pembroke College, University of Oxford(closed year'round to public access) where I have been most warmly welcomed through their hallowed main gates. Powerful stuff to me, and it resonates to my core. I am so very thankful to be here; through gritted teeth, thankful those Nazi bastards failed to bomb out this world heritage site. I also wish to express my gratitude for your video(s) which have opened the doors, literally, to my past. I've beheld the book written by my cousin of 11 generations ago Sir Francis Bacon, which resides in a special display next to the works of Shakespeare in the Bodleian Library. I've quaffed pints in the same pubs frequented by the many Oxford graduates within my families. I am in awe! Please, if you would, join me the first weekend of September in Brussels, for the annual BBW(Belgian Beer Weekend) and the sacred event of the "Blessing of the Beer Barrel", where we'll raise a glass(read several) in honor of my 39th GreatGrandFather Bishop Saint Arnould de Metz(582-640), PATRON SAINT OF BREWING. BCNU Soon!?
Gunwrites , many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Oxford edition & also thanks for your feedback, greatly appreciated. Sadly I must decline your kind offer to join you celebrating Belgian Beer Week in Brussels, I have prior commitments 1st week in September , maybe another time. My best wishes to you and also to the Patron Saint of beer . Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.
Thank you. Very informative video, and very knowledgeable guide. Especially appreciated the rundown of the peoples of the historic British Isles - Britons, Celts - who knew they originated from the area of Yugoslavia, and were pushed to the margins of Europe by the Romans ?!, Romans, Angles, etc. as well as the architecture of the Circus with its Masonic elements.

You are an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and articulate. A few years ago, my wife and I spent two hours in Chester while on a bus tour of England. Of course, we saw very little of Chester, which has so much history and architecture. Thank you for this video. Very informative.
Darrell , many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Chester edition & sincere thanks for your incredibly kind feedback, greatly appreciated. Curious to know which tour company of the many you traveled with, that was my bread & butter for many years guiding tours of Britain, Ireland & vast part of Europe. Happy days indeed but really felt we were just showing a tiny taste of what our countries had to offer. E.g 2 hours in Chester no where near enough but we have to be in Wales for dinner ! But as I always said there we’re always places that you experienced that you said been there but never need to go back, however there we’re always 1 or 2 places where you felt compelled to return to. Funnily enough just recently experienced that myself this past summer on a return trip to the UK with the family for a 4 week visit & adventure. Best wishes for the festive season & hoping you have a safe and healthy New Year . Rich Jones, Tour Guides Travel Guides.
Neena Norto, many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Oxford edition and also thanks for the comments, greatly appreciated. Great question & a fairly simple answer to be honest. Most of the colleges & University buildings have limited access & even stricter filming regulations. We did ask permission to film stating that it was a historical & travel documentary but sadly we were denied. Hopefully that answers your question. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.
Wonderful tour. Thank you. I used to busk in Chester with an upright piano many moons ago and frequent the Boot Inn. My favourite city in England. I live in the Republic of Ireland now but very much look forward to visiting again. Take care.
Jack , many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Chester edition & sincere thanks for your feedback, greatly appreciated. Not sure if I’ve had a pint in the Boot to be honest maybe I have years ago on a pub crawl. I will certainly make the effort next time I am in Chester. All the best mate . Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.
Oh Corey so so angry, thinking someone got out of bed on the wrong side this morning ! So here’s the thing, this was a small piece of many that talks about Oxford & specifically Christchurch. The simple fact of the matter is that because of the World wide success of the Harry Potter phenomenon, the filming that was actually done there & the fact that the vast majority of visitors to the College go there because of J K Rowling’s stories I would be doing a huge amount of viewers a huge disservice by not mentioning it. If you would like another spin on Oxford colleges you may want to check out our full Oxford tour, although there maybe too much historical information for your liking ! 🤐🤫.

It's funny that you should mention the Roman goddess Minerva because here in Kingston upon Hull we have a pub called the Minerva located at the pier overlooking the river humber.
@@TourGuidesTravelGuides It is. If you do tour of Hull you should visit it and the deep which is the world's only aquatic centre with a life where you can travel through a tank of sharks 🦈🦈🦈!

@@davidcunningham3813 Thanks for the share David, appreciated. The music isn’t really my thing but the filming & drone footage, I presume, is really very good. Is this your work ? Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.
Krishna , thanks for taking the time out to watch our Stratford edition. I am not sure exactly what you are asking me here , but as far as I know there a no original plays in Shakespeare’s hand that actually exist. There is the First Folio that was put together in 1623 , seven years after his death by former friends & colleagues of his, that I believe contains 36 pieces of his work and as I understand it is in the library of UBC University of British Columbia. I hope this helps. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.

Thanks for the feedback Peter, greatly appreciated. Maybe if you have the time could you put me straight on the errors. Cheers. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.
@@TourGuidesTravelGuides to be fair its Conwy Bay and Snowdon is only highest point Wales and England. SCOTLAND Has the higher peaks. But as i said entertaining so well done.
@@peterdonnellan2065 Nice one mate thanks. I know the Scottish peaks are higher, in fact I was up there this Summer. Probably me just tripping over my tongue & getting ahead of myself as usual. Cheers Rich.

Do you want to employ me, cos I know Oxford like the back of my hand ? AND I’m distantly related to Joseph Knibb - the clockmaker - Wadham College eat your heart out !!! My dad has a tessera he brought back from Palmyra in the Ashmoleum museum ! And I could tell you about an affair my dad nearly had with a woman whose father had a car mechanics garage which is now part of Brown’s restaurant! Shakespeare’s bastard Sir William Davenant the first poet laureate , and The Painted Room ! Christine Knibb ( Scarff )
Great video and production. I’m coming tomorrow and haven’t really planned anything. oops, do you have any recomendations on good things to do with not much budget, walking and eating are our main hobbies… thanks.
Kelly May, many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Oxford edition & sincere thanks for the feedback greatly appreciated. On a limited budget I would suggest move away from the main drag on the corn market & shopping center & wander the back streets exploring the colleges, Christchurch meadows. The museum’s are mainly free, if you want to go into Christchurch itself there is a fee & I would definitely pre book as that seems to be the norm everywhere these days. Food wise I would suggest Oxford market or go & see my friend Hamid at Cafe Crème on Broad street for the best coffee & panini in town. Hope this helps. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.
Bog Island was/ is called that because it had underground toilets get your facts right ....Batholian here age 54 ...now Bath is nothing more than student hell and traffic hell the council are clueless
nige99 many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Bath edition and also many thanks for the feedback greatly appreciated. We are aware of the origins of the history of bog island & have been corrected several times ensuring to “ get our facts right “ .

All this terrible tour guide goes on about is coats of arms. He’s obsessed and spouts a load of boring crap. Misses out what we want to know about tours!!!
This is a crap video. All this guy does is show you coat of arms/ crests everywhere that he obviously has a thing for. Gives out false information. Doesn’t even know that the Bridge of Sighs in Oxford is modelled on the original in Venice!!! Misses tons of the most important info on Oxford.
Blondefringe 16 , thanks for taking the time out to watch our Chester edition & sincere thanks for the feedback, greatly appreciated. We will also be in & around Chester in late July. The family & I are coming over from the USA for a month, mainly a well deserved holiday but also to film some new material. Best wishes. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.
