Oxford open top bus and walking tour

Hopped and on off throughout the day, done the 1 hour walking tour with Jasmine, which was absolutely brilliant, she brought a joyful personality to the tour, and is a true asset to company. We had the same driver twice, didn’t catch his name, which I’m annoyed at myself for because he was so pleasant and the information he gave us on where to get a coffee was spot on.

Great to get bearings over 2 days

Really good. Does a circuit of town with stop off at various places. Essential on a wet day or to orientate

Oxford City Sightseeing Walking Tour

We had our walking tour on Monday 19th October 2026 at 3pm with Graham as our tour guide. It was an hour of education from a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. We had visited Oxford the day before and done the “city bus tour” which I would recommend as both tours work great alongside each other.
