As older travelers, we struggle with too much walking so the top of a double decker bus is such a great way to tour a city. The commentary explains what the wonderful buildings are and gives information on architecture and history. It was such a pity that the prepayment system proved to be so problematic. That spoiled what would have been a five star experience.

Unlock the heart of Oxford with a 24 or 48-hour unlimited hop-on hop-off bus pass, granting you absolute freedom to curate your visit.

Seamlessly explore our single, captivating route, dotted with 20 stops, where buses appear reliably every 15 minutes.

Additionally, the Oxford Walking Tour offers a 45-minute guided exploration of the city, available daily at various times.

Ascend aboard our stylish open-top double-deckers for unparalleled views. Settle in and absorb every detail, as audio guides in 14 languages bring the city's rich narrative to life.

Truly immerse yourself in iconic locations like the magnificent Sheldonian Theatre, the hallowed grounds of famous university colleges, and the bustling energy of the Westgate Shopping Centre along your route!

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
