Excellent package but check walking tour times and if you are happy to climb the tower's steep and narrow spiral stairs - Excellent way to discover Oxford and thoroughly recommended. You are issued with earphones with your ticket to listen to the audio tour on the bus which worked really well. The content was interesting and wide-ranging and you get a leaflet with a clear map so you can decide where to get on/off. The walking tour of the central area was excellent with a knowledgeable guide (Pete) who tailored elements to suit people's interests, but make sure you check the times - we almost missed it as the last one departed at 2.30pm (it would be helpful if they advised you of the times on booking). The views from the top of Carfax Tower are fantastic but the staircase to the top is very narrow and spiral - one of our group decided not to attempt it. If you're not sure, I'd advise a quick look at the staircase before buying the tout ticket that includes the tower tour.

A great way to see Oxford! - Went to visit Oxford today, and decided to take the open top bus tour. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, especially our lady driver, who even came up to find us when she knew where we wanted to get off! The walking tour was excellent as well, we had Policeman Pete taking us round, very knowledgeable and friendly. We got on and off very easily, and never had to wait very long for the next one. Would highly recommend this way of seeing the town, as we had no previous knowledge of what to see or where to go. A great day out! Phil.

The best way to see 👀 Oxford! - Open Top City Tour is the best way to see all of Oxford’s high points. And the Carfax Tower gives the best views of the area. A must-do every time I visit.

Nice tour in a beautiful city, full of historic (university) buildings. - Tour is offered in multilingual languages and a total round (without intermediate disembarking) takes about 1 hour. The electronic Guide is easily understood by d3 supplied 'earpieces'. Sound and language is easy to control. Buses are fully electric (central Oxford is emission free zone) and (therefore) quite modern.

January 20th 2024 - On Saturday, January 20th, we had the pleasure of exploring Oxford through the +Explore package, which included a walking tour around the city. While we experienced a slight delay, having to wait 30 minutes for our guide, the rest of the day was exceptional. Our guide, Chris, offered a heartfelt apology for the wait and proceeded to give us a personal tour. His expertise and friendly demeanor greatly enhanced our visit, making it a truly wonderful experience. A big thank you to Chris for making our day memorable!
