Traveler reviews
Recommend HOHO Bus & Walking Tour, Oxford
We purchased the Bus & Wslking Tour + New College. Highly recommend. The Bus drivers and staff in the office were very friendly & helpful. Our walking tour guide, Richard, was very knowledgeable and engaging, always happy to answer questions.
Make sure to join the walking tour
We had never been to Oxford before and decided to make use of the hop-on hop-off bus service to get an overview of the city and its attractions. The bus trip was very nice (as expected), but what really stood out as a gem was the walking tour, hosted by our excellent guide Lesley, which was included with the bus ticket. Lesley managed to bring the ancient and not-so-ancient history to life and her friendly way of communicating with the group as a whole and with each group member made us feel like valued guests. Thank you , Lesley!
Hop on hop off Oxford bus tour.
Lesley the live, guide on the Oxford tour was absolutely exceptional. She was a mine of not only information, but delivered it with humour, and attention to detail. What a lady, and a real asset to Oxford's tourism. One lovely lady. 👍🏽😊
Excellent overviews of Oxford
We took the hop on hop off bus in Oxford in the morning. In just over an hour we took in the key sights with an excellent commentary with a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable on-board guide, Kate. In the afternoon we took the inclusive walking tour with Lesley, another enthusiastic knowledgeable guide. Thanks to her advice we booked tickets for Christchurch the next day. Both tours were very enjoyable and gave us a good foundation for further exploring. Thank you.
A fun way to see Oxford.
A great way to see Oxford on the hop- on hop- off bus tour. Gregg was our live commentator who had such a wealth of knowledge regarding the colleges & history surrounding them . We then went on the walking tour which was also another great way to gain an insight into Oxford Uni.
