Our tour guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly. It was just the right length of time for us to get our bearings. We will definitely be back to take advantage of "hopping off" a bit more.

    Oxford is a gorgeous City. Fun sitting on the sightseeing bus. Unfortunately you have to pay more if you book your ticket online. even with my 10% discount. It's cheaper buying it directly from the driver
