Great hop on hop off bus tour Great little experience. Bus driver very helpful and funny. The commentary was very informative . Good being able to stay on if you missed anything the first time around. A short walking tour was included which we picked up at the Walking tour centre (just ask the bus driver if you’re not sure where it is) Our guide Lesley was very knowledgeable and funny, answered any questions we had. We were only a small group of 3 🙂 Great afternoon and luckily lovely weather too. Would definitely recommend this activity

Bus tour and guided walk. Enjoyed the hop on hop off bus tour for an afternoon in Oxford with a good audio guide with interesting history. Also enjoyed the free walking tour included which we did the next morning.

Walking tour with Leslie After riding the hop on and off bus, we had a walking tour with Lesley which was superb. Just the right amount of information and interesting facts. Leslie also gave helpful advice on where to go and what to see in Oxford.

Great experience overall! Great experience overall! The audioguide was interesting in most parts, the bus was always on time and we could change seats accordingly depending on the weather As the main streets are all within a 5 blocks radium, I recommend doing the whole tour and getting down on the stops near them, to get lost in those streets. Shan assisted us greatly when deciding what plan to choose. He helped us get the best based on what we needed at the moment, was super kind and patient. It didn't go unnoticed that he didn't just want to sell you something but to give the best advice and ideas for your situation. And Anoy guided us during the tour, with fun anecdotes and facts. It was really life saving when the audioguide was a bit delayed (due to traffic or sth), and he continued the guide smoothly, so we could really enjoy our time in spite of it.

History with humour We were a large group but the guy selling the tickets took time to work out the best discount for us, student, seniors etc, much appreciated. Thoroughly enjoyed the bus tour with live running commentary and we finished with the walking tour. Lesley, our walking tour guide, was both informative and forthcoming with humourous facts, it was a joy from start to finish. More like a walk with a friend than a history lesson.

A good overview of Oxford Bus trip was an hour in length with narrated guide. Headphones were provided. It gave a good overview of the city. The walking tour which is also included in the price was very good. Chris was knowledgeable and took us to see the parts missed by the bus route in the middle of Oxford.

City Sightseeing Oxford 24-08-2026 My Mother and I used the Oxford Sightseeing Bus Tour late morning of Monday 24th August 2026. We both want to shout to ‘Andy the Hat’ our Tour Bus Guide for his fabulous witty poems and wide knowledge of Oxfords historical facts. Also huge shout to our Bus Driver, we didn’t get his name. Down to earth, cheerful bloke who signposted us to the Turf Tavern. Fantastic recommendation and I tipped my pint to him in thanks for the recommendation and directions. We look forward to welcoming you back to Chester anytime. Cheers, Nic and Diane Xx

Oxford sightseeing tour! If you’re visiting Oxford for the first time, I will thoroughly recommend you do a sightseeing tour using hop on hop off buses. Great value for money and you get to see where all the buildings shop bars et cetera. And you get some great advice fromthe the tour guides. Special mention to Lesley. Thank you for not only the bus tour but also the one hour walking tour. Made our morning!

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.

Staff helpful and friendly. We boarded the bus and was informed we can still upgrade from 24hrs to 48hrs if we wished for x amount, and we did! Great service and tour! Would recommend.

Oxford is one of the best sightseeing experiences in England. The hop on/hop off bus tour is possibly the easiest and most informative in the country. One can tour all 39 colleges on the tour and obtain a very informative educational experience. Highly recommend stopping and visiting Christ College (not only inspired Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter, but arguably one of the more beautiful colleges).  Christ college was built by Henry VIII and where 13 Prime Ministers studied.  Oxford can boast 30 PMs studied at one of the Oxford colleges. One may also have a pint at the same pub where JR Tolkien and CS Lewis frequented. Oxford offers a fantastic pedestrian only street in the center of town. Parking is challenged, but I recommend parking by the train station which also serves as a bus starting point for the city tour which lasts approximately 45 minutes with a bus passing every 20 minutes.
