Description

If Oxford is a city that feels like something out of a movie, it’s because it’s featured in many. As you discover the city, you’ll soon understand why. It’s a truly beautiful place. Our hop-on hop-off tour takes you to all the city’s many amazing sights, including the university’s famous colleges and their stunningly elegant courtyards.

Oxford University is one of the oldest in the world, and some of the buildings are as old as 600! One of the most impressive is the Bodleian Library, which was built in the 17th century and is home to over 13 million printed works! It even features in three of the Harry Potter films. It’s one of the many university treasures to hop off and see.

Another of the city’s architectural delights is Carfax Tower, which was originally part of a church, but the church was demolished at the end of the 19th century. Today, the tower offers some of the very best views in the city, which is why we've included admission in this ticket. Climb to the top to get a whole new perspective on the city.

The included Oxford Uncovered Walking Tour is the perfect way to complete your Oxford experience. During the 45-minute tour, you’ll learn so much about the city and its rich history. Together, the bus, the tower and the tour are the perfect Oxford experience!
