City Sightseeing Oxford - Oxford

Royal Highnes

This experience is only getting this rating because I love the concept of the Hop on Hop Off bus for sightseeing in Oxford. The architecture and picturesque town of Oxford will be shown while taking this bus. This will help you experience that plus give you an opportunity to learn more about different facts around the city.

Here comes the unfortunate, saddening, and tragic reality of taking the Hop on Hop off bus in Oxford. My family and I were riding the bus and the driver was off putting to begin with. We didn’t allow that to dim our mood and still enjoyed the experience. About 20 minutes into our ride, another family came on the bus. The mother and grandparents settled into the open seats and the man with them peeped his head upstairs for a second and went back down. Moments later, the bus driver came upstairs and said that one of us needed to move our seats, demanded we do, and then proceeded to say the man downstairs that was with the family who sat next to us, didn’t want to sit with us and we needed to move so he could sit down. I have NEVER heard or seen that happen on a bus. This is a bus where you seat yourself and it’s open seating. So for this driver to demand 3 out of the 4 black women in our group to move, that saddened me. For her to continually say we need to move and make us feel unwanted and not valued is not what I expected from this.

This trip to Oxford was for one day during our trip to London. I was soooo beyond excited to see the city and experience it through Hop on Hop off. So, for this to happen I didn’t appreciate the experience as much as I could have. If you plan on taking this bus in Oxford BEWARE of the possible discrimination and disrespect from staff. You want to experience the city with no problems so beware!!!!!

We enjoyed the informative bus tour but especially loved our walking tour in a small group with a great guide called „Policeman Pete.“ He was really knowledgeable, at the same time as being highly entertaining and humorous. Unfortunately the weather was a bit drizzly but we still really had a wonderful day in Oxford.

Experienced, helpful, and adaptable - these are the words I would use to describe my guide, Jack Brown Robertson, on my City Sightseeing Oxford tour. From the moment I arrived at the meeting point, I could tell that this was going to be a unique experience. Robertson's friendly demeanor and knowledge of the city instantly put me at ease, and I knew I was in good hands. As we traversed the streets of Oxford, Robertson's commentary was bursting with information, from the early history of the university to the famous literary connections the city holds. I was constantly amazed by the adaptability of the tour, seamlessly transitioning from ancient architecture to modern innovations. Overall, this tour was an absolute delight, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fascinating and unforgettable exploration of Oxford. Thanks to Robertson, I left with a deeper understanding and appreciation of this incredible city.

We had such a fun time with Lesley on our walking tour of Oxford yesterday! We were lucky enough to have her all to ourselves which made it very personal. Our walk was equal parts informative and fascinating, exploring a city we’ve never visited with someone who calls it home, clearly loves it and has so much knowledge, history and trivia and insight to share. We walked, talked, listened and laughed our way around this fascinating and lovely city. Can’t wait to do a Hop on Hop Off bus trip today!

The experience in hop on hop off bus was delightful. The instructions were user friendly and audio commentary was very helpful to know about historical places. If you want to go for the walking tour, make sure you went early because the last walking tour is 1pm.

I used the busturistico in Oxford last week, thank God it was a wonderful day and with my family we were able to see the corners of this beautiful city, the bus driver was very kind, very polite and friendly, five stars for the company and the driver.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Oxford tour, unfortunately the weather was not kind to us so we stayed on board for a few stops instead of seeing the sights by foot. So glad we did.
We got off at Oxford Castle to enjoy some lunch and we were given excellent directions by our young driver.
We were lucky enough to get him after our lunch stop for our trip back to the station. He greated us warmly and asked if we enjoyed lunch, felt like a real personnal service.
Highly recommend taking the tour if visiting Oxford and wanting to get the most out of your day.

Worth every penny GBP 🙂 - we were approached by Jeremy in front of the Oxford train station & his genuine and sincere approach convinced us to buy tickets and hop on the bus. Let me tell you, it was just perfect for the Sunny - hot day to avoid walking around with an elderly mother & a grumpy teenager. It was the best decision we made because the Bus takes you around the entire city and they offer a service of stopping every 15 minutes from each bus stop & of course whatever station you want to stop you are able to do so. What we loved is the fact that it was convenient, friendly staff/drivers and the cool covered area in the front to be in the shade. Also, it gave us the opportunity to go around the city listening to the historical information while enjoying the ride & it served us as a means of public transportation.
I was hoping to extend a humble tip and express our gratitude to Jeremy upon returning in the late afternoon, but unfortunately he was gone for the day. So, Thanks a lot Sir - your kind and genuine approach made us buy the tickets & we wish you all the very best.
Thanks again!
