City Sightseeing Oxford

About:

City Sightseeing Oxford is an open-top bus tour operated in partnership with Oxford Bus Company that provides a flexible, hop-on hop-off way to explore England’s historic “City of Dreaming Spires.” The tour runs daily year-round, typically between about 9:30 am and 4 pm, with buses departing frequently and the full circuit taking around one hour (traffic and events may extend this).

The tour’s main feature is a hop-on hop-off open-top bus that stops at around 18 designated points close to Oxford’s major sights. Commentary is provided via free headphones in 14 languages, plus a fun kids’ commentary option, so you can learn about the city’s history, architecture and university life as you ride. Tickets are usually valid for 24 or 48 hours, allowing you to explore at your own pace and re-board at any stop.

The route links Oxford’s key landmarks, including:

• Christ Church – one of Oxford’s most famous colleges with grand architecture.

• Radcliffe Camera – the iconic round reading room of the Bodleian Library.

• The Queen’s College and Trinity College – historic university colleges.

• Parks Road / Pitt Rivers Museum area – museums and university science buildings.

• Oxford Castle and Westgate Oxford – historic fortification and modern shopping/restaurant hub.
  And many more stops that put you close to museums, gardens, and market areas around the city.

Standard bus tickets typically start from £19.50 for 24 hours and £23.50 for 48 hours for adults, with reduced fares for children and seniors. There are also combined ticket options that bundle walking tours or extra experiences for a higher price. Family deals are often available too.

Some tickets include optional walking tours like “Stepping Through Oxford” or “Town & Gown,” which explore historic spots on foot. You can also upgrade to include entry to Carfax Tower for panoramic views.
