Walking tours were originally available only until the end of August, however, we have listened to our customers and have extended this offer into the autumn. Buy your ticket and enjoy a beautiful and informative walk around Oxford soon!

If you choose not to take the walk, the bus will continue on our normal route and a recorded commentary will be available in the Guide’s absence.
