Overview
Hello, I’m Iryna, a historian and tour guide with over 10 years of experience leading cultural and historical tours. Originally from Ukraine, I discovered Oxford’s extraordinary stories after moving here and I am passionate about sharing the city’s fascinating past with visitors from around the world.
This is not just a tour of famous buildings — it is a journey through the lives of the people who shaped Oxford. Together, we will explore the stories of medieval scholars, visionary writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, great scientists, philosophers, and generations of students who made this city a centre of knowledge and inspiration.
I believe history comes alive through human stories, surprising details, and moments of connection. My private tours are designed to be engaging, personal, and memorable, allowing you to experience Oxford beyond the guidebook.
Join me to discover the history, traditions, and hidden stories that make Oxford truly unique.
