This hop-on, hop-off bus tour will take you around Oxford and treat you to panoramic views of the city’s buildings, rooftops and parks from the open top deck of a bus. You will get to see Christ Church College, Trinity College, Brasenose College, the Plain roundabout and the Sheldonian Theater, among many others. The on-board audio guide will provide you with interesting information about the city and the sights.
You can hop-off at any of the stops to explore the area on your own or join a guided walking tour for a closer look at the local culture. A 48-hour bus pass is available, so you will have more time to sightsee.
