Service Updates

Changes to Tour Route on 29th June for Race for Life

Due to the Race for Life event taking place in Oxford City Centre on Sunday, 29th June 2025, our City Sightseeing Oxford Bus Tours will operate a revised route, serving stops 1-11 only from 09:30 until approximately 12:00.
Unfortunately, this means we will be unable to serve stops 12-20 during this time due to road closures associated with the event.
To ensure you still get the most out of your tour, we’ll have extra guides on board our buses ready to answer your questions and help you make the most of your visit.
Our Walking Tours will continue to operate as normal, subject to availability.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact our team.
