Sunny day with great local intel! - I arrived 10am to find that I was the only customer, so got a 1:1 tour with Howard, one of the owners of the tour company. How lucky was I! And the sky was clear blue for the entire trip after a month of flooding and rain. My bike was adjusted to suit my height, and I fitted the helmet myself. We slowly moved through historic Jericho, then into town, then to Port Meadow, stopping at intervals to hear about a church or the university system in Oxford etc. Nice pace. Safe. Stopped for a coffee in the sunshine at the Museum of Natural History for a leisurely coffee. Returned shortly after 1pm to the shop in Jericho. Highly recommended.

Through town and Country: a beautiful trip - We had a nice bike tour. The first part went through Oxford. We saw the most important Things to do there. And our Guide could tell the (background) stories well with anecdotes and a lot of humor. The second part passed through the lands outside Oxford along the Thames and canals. All in all a nice way to see a lot of the city in a relatively short time. Definitely recommended!

Don’t miss this tour— ask for Robert! ❤️ - Magical tour through time and space in and around Oxford. Robert is the best guide, kind, knowledgeable, and neutral in his story telling even as he is passionate. I was amazed and humbled by this sacred spaces of human history, these blackberry brambles, venerable trees, these horses with manes blowing slightly on a gentle breeze…Magic. Well done.
