An unexpectedly remarkable walking tour. - The commentary and route was excellent and the walking tour an unexpected delight. Chris hit the right note throughout. Incredibly well informed, he delivered an extensive commentary with humour. The time flew by so it was amazing, on reflection, to realise just how much we had seen and learnt. Much food for thought. An exceptional guide indeed.

Great tour - Excellent bus tour of Oxford. Have been many times to Oxford however on this occasion were bringing less mobile relatives so thought they'd enjoy a bus tour. Tickets were easy to book, driver very helpful, lovely informative route around the city. We learnt so many new bits of information that we hadn't discovered from previous visits to Oxford.

Hop on Hop Off in Oxford - Linda was an amazing driver! Such tight streets and pedestrians and bicyclists on the same road. I was awed at her expertise. Great trip and beautiful, historic city.

Good introduction to Oxford - The hop on hop off bus was a good way to get to know Oxford as it was our first time and then we walked to all the places that we had seen on the bus because everything was so nearby. Chris Cochran was a really good guide for our walking tour around the city. Very nice gentleman.

Amazing Oxford open bus tour - We had an amazing open bust tour in Oxford which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. The walking tour conducted by Chris Cochran was very informative and interesting. The colleges shown and history behind each one was done very well. Would certainly be repeating the tour next time.

Useful introduction to Oxford - The tour is a good way for a visitor to get to know the city. It stops near most important spots and the recorded commentary is quite good. However we had a "live" guide who was rather boring and merely listed famous personalities who studied at the various colleges we passed. The recording was more interesting. One of the drivers was also extremely rude. On reflection, it was the worst tour of this kind I have ever had, compared to excellent ones in London, Dublin, Paris, Cologne and other cities.
