Traveler reviews
A Grand Day Out
This city sightseeing bus is the best way to see the City The route is great and with the earphones provided you can listen to a very informative audio commentary. Being able to hop on and hop off at any stop gives you freedom to explore. Good value for money and most suitable for any age especially the over 70’s !
A great way to see Oxford
I decided to do the tour on a lovely day with friends from Scotland and my husband. Greg was our tour guide and he was excellent, very knowledgeable, funny and helpful. The tour is an excellent value for money plus you can hop on at the station which is very handy. It is useful to do the whole tour then decide where you would like to revisit. Oxford was busy due to graduations. A great way to see the city.
Lovely to see all the colleges of Oxford
We spent Saturday morning on the open top bus. We got on at the high street. Which was super easy. And enjoyed tune whole hours tour. Making notes of places that we wanted to visit during our stay . The guide - Lesley - was BRILLIANT. Loads of local knowledge. Lots of advice as to where to visit, included museums l, booke houses, pubs and stately homes. She also added a nice personal touch by giving an opinion on what was with visiting. Bus was clean and we were all given head phones . Would Highly recommend
Fabulous walking tour with Chris
We did the bus tour and hopped off to do the walking tour with Chris. So glad we did because Chris’s knowledge, pace, wit and perfectly placed anecdotes made the whole experience vey worthwhile. Thank you Chris!
