Hop on and off to explore Oxford!

It’s very easy to book on online and a great way to explore the main sightseeing areas of the city. A two day pass is a good option as you can go right round the city on the bus in an hour and on day two hop on and off at the places you wish to explore in more detail. So simple!

Great Tour for Those on a Short Visit

My kids and I were in Oxford for only a short weekend and this tour allowed us to see so much of the Oxford campus as well as the city. Our guide was a graduate student and shared so many insightful things about the university and campus life, which my high schooler really enjoyed.

Our tour took place...

Our tour took place during the heat wave, but our guide Valentine thoughtfully kept us in the shade whenever possible. She was truly a wealth of knowledge and was playful with our group who clearly all loved the Harry Potter series. The buildings and history of Oxford were even more wonderful than we as a family of four expected. We had a fantastic day even though it was in the 90s!

Cotswolds Villages Full-Day Small-Group Tour from Oxford

Excellent day tour from Oxford with several super photo opportunities

This was a small group tour of 7 people. Saw the beautiful Cotswold area with several great photo opportunities. Few other tourists in the smaller villages. Everything was smooth from reserving to pickup and drop off. Everyone was timely when given free time to explore. Some walking required. But they will accomodate you if you want less walking. This was a gem of a day trip from Oxford. I would highly recommend this. Ian was a wonderful guide and super knowledgeable. Good value for your money.
