Alasdair Riktam de Voil

Owner-Founder: I Love Oxford

I've lived around the world but when I visited Oxford, I fell in love with the city, so I moved here. Besides guiding tours in Oxford, I also offer literary/ cultural tours to other destinations with ukliterarytours.com Plus I work as a language tutor, nanny & birthday party entertainer. When there are elections, I run as Oxford's official Monster Raving Loony (tea) party candidate! My hobbies include practicing speaking several languages & hosting activities for Oxford's singles group called OxfordNightsOut.com. I hope that ILoveOxford.com can help bring people new in town, one step closer to finding out more about its history and attractions plus what it has to offer.

I have been practicing architectural photography & showcasing the built environment & it's ambiance since 2004. Some of my recent projects include photographing at the new London Coca-Cola HQ, Heinz Innovation Centre in the Netherlands and Blenheim Palace. Few years ago, Google launched "360° Virtual tours for Business Interiors using Street View" aka "Street View | Trusted" previously known as "Google Business View" venture for Oxfordshire. This was a natural progression for me & a great way of showcasing "the ambiance". I am a fully certified photographer. I also offer training in the use of "Google My Business" product to optimise business listing on Google.
