Why choose this Oxford tour ?
This activity concept is aimed at solo travellers who want a short introduction tour lasting typically about 90 minutes. The tour focus is variable eg about the university or Harry Potter in Oxford.
The pricing reflects the fact that this tour can only be booked by 1 person max and if you 2 persons or more, please just book one of our alternative tours listed.
Which college we may visit inside will depend on what’s open and please note that if you are a Harry Potter fan, then instead option exists to see inside the Divinity school film site at the Bodleian library.
Entry fee up to £3 is included in the tour. If you may wish to see inside any other colleges, that can be discussed on the day but with any additional higher entry costs to then be paid by yourself.
The meeting point and start time is fixed and you are booking the guide for up to 90-120 minutes tour duration.
See exclusions below for dates of eg university graduation dates or Xmas dates, when few or no colleges open.

So all such bike requests, we will need at least 24 hours to try to hire in such bikes with notice.
• Regarding poor weather on the day of your tour, UK weather is highly unpredictable, so you need to dress for all weather and carry waterproofs. Nearly all of our bikes have a basket to put a small day backpack or hand bag into. Unfortunately you CANNOT cancel bike tours just because it’s wet but if the weather was very wet, we may offer (upon customer request) to go ahead with the walking tour element of the tour but to replace the cycle tour with a substitute activity on foot.
• If we believed that the cycle tour was not safe to conduct due to storm weather conditions or ice or snow, then either we may either offer to reschedule your booking or to refund the tour or upon your request and our offer, we could either offer you a substitute activity on the day to miss out the cycle part of the tour, as described above or we could offer to reschedule your tour.
