Amazing Oxford Tour Experience
This tour was a great value. It included a 90 minute outside walking tour of the college with Andy the Hat. Very knowledgeable and interesting! On the bus we enjoyed the stories, comedy and poetry of our guide Dave Dalton

Disappointment
We arrived in Oxford on a coach tour, having travelled 3 hours from the Isle of Wight. On arrival in Oxford, we found several roads closed because there was a marathon event, of which we were not informed prior to booking the tickets. We had hoped to decide on our walking route based on a bus tour to see the places of interest. But I had no intention of paying for the tour when it was reduced considerably. We were advised that the roads would be open again at 4pm - this was useless to us, as we had to leave at 4.15pm. So I cannot give a good review, in this case. It is now 3 days since the visit and although TripAdvisor have said our ticket costs would be refunded, I have not seen it yet.

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.

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 !

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

An Outstanding Oxford Sightseeing Experience
I had a wonderful experience with the City Sightseeing Bus in Oxford! Our guide GREG was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly attentive, making the tour both interesting and enjoyable. The explanations brought Oxford’s history and landmarks to life, and the personal attention made me feel very welcome. I highly recommend this tour 😀

We did a walking tour with Chris.
He was very knowledgeable, sharing stories and had a great sense of humour.
Useful tips on were to go for snacks or pub meals too.

A great way to explore Oxford, especially if you’re visiting for the first time. The day pass makes it easy to see the city’s beautiful architecture, historic colleges, libraries and many major attractions, including Oxford Prison, Christ Church, Carfax Tower, the Natural History Museum, Pitt Rivers Museum, the Science Museum and Blackwell Bookshop.

There are also plenty of food options and good shopping opportunities in the city centre. Oxford has so many colleges that you may get tired just counting them! 😂

The staff were friendly, helpful and happy to provide guidance. I also learned that keeping your day-pass receipt may give you 10% off in another City Sightseeing city, which is a useful bonus.

Overall, a convenient and enjoyable way to explore Oxford without walking everywhere. Definitely worth considering for a full day of sightseeing, especially for the architecture.

Excellent tour provided by City Sightseeing Oxford! The experience took us through the most important places in Oxford, offering an insightful perspective on the city’s history, culture, and beauty. We are thankful for all the services given by the staff, the manager and the bus driver, they were polite and helpful.

Used this on a trip to Oxford. The buses were clean and comfortable. Guides was very knowledgeable and humorous. They ran as advertised and were always on time. Drivers were friendly too. For the price I was impressed and would use in the future.

22 мая купили билеты и начали пользоваться этим туром. Но к сожалению проехали только в одну сторону. Пришли на остановку #9, чтобы уехать обратно. Пришли в 17.48. По расписанию в 17.55 подъезжает автобус. Но он только немного притормозил и не открыв двери поехал дальше!!!!! Я стоял у края дороги. Махал ему. Но он не остановился :(((. Не надеясь на следующий автобус пришлось выкинуть билеты и идти пешком.  Это было тяжело, так как мы уже устали. Деньги потратили зря. Такой плохой сервис. Если руководитель этой компании читает - просьба наказать водителя. А туристом советую не тратить деньги. Город маленький можно и пешком ходить.
