City Sightseeing Oxford is highlighting a range of ways families and visitors can enjoy Oxford for less this summer.

One of them is its family ticket, available for a limited time only at £49 for up to two adults and three children. The ticket usually costs £57 and the offer makes exploring Oxford’s iconic landmarks and rich history via the Hop-on Hop-off open-top bus tour with the family even easier.

During the summer months only, visitors can also combine their City Sightseeing open-top bus tour with a 40-minute Salter’s Steamers boat trip, embarking from Folly Bridge and travelling to Iffley Lock. Combined adult tickets cost £34.50 for a 24-hour ticket, with child tickets £23 and student/senior tickets £32.50.

Kamini Patel, Retail and Tourism Manager at City Sightseeing Oxford, said: “We can’t wait for another busy summer season and the entire team is looking forward to seeing Oxford full of visitors and tourists.

“We want to help visitors to Oxford discover all there is to our beautiful city and access excellent value experiences.

“There are a range of new savings to take advantage of in the coming weeks and months, not just through our own deals, but exclusive offers with leading destinations across Oxfordshire.

“Our friendly and knowledgeable team at City Sightseeing Oxford will be available to provide advice and expertise when it comes to visitor destinations throughout the county.”

City Sightseeing Oxford has also extended its opening hours for the summer season, allowing tourists and visitors more time to take advantage of new savings.

Until Tuesday 1st September, the Visitor Information Point on High Street will be open between 9:30am and 6pm, while the historic Carfax Tower in the city centre is currently open from 10am to 6pm. Last entry is at 5:40pm.

Discounted tickets for a series of major Oxford attractions can be purchased from the Visitor Information Point. These include the historic New College famous as a Harry Potter filming location, river punting at the Magdalen Bridge Boathouse, the BMW Mini Plant tour, and Blenheim Palace, the home of Sir Winston Churchill and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

New exclusive offers include partner discounts at Modern Art Oxford, Sunnyhill Vineyard, and Oxford Dogs in the Covered Market, by simply showing a bus tour ticket.
