Oxfordshire Trip Overview
COVID19 NOTICE:
Currently all university colleges are still closed to the public but you will see & hear lots about the colleges on the tour route.
The best way to see Oxford is on a bicycle on this private bicycle tour along the River Thames Path. In fact, bikes are the locals’ favourite way to get around the city as the compact Oxford is not very car-friendly.
Default start time is 12.00 but you may request any start time from 12.00 until 14.30 start time. The tour lasts for 3-4 hours, including a guided tour plus bike set up time and a refreshments stop. The route covers both the city’s sights and stories with a college entrance fee and a relaxing cycle along the River Thames to Iffley or Binsey Village.
