This activity will end right where it started.
Choose between a morning or afternoon tour, and then make your way to the meeting point in central Oxford to join up with your guide and group. After listening to a short safety briefing, strap on your helmet and set off to explore the honey-hued city at a leisurely pace.

Pedal along Oxford’s bike-friendly streets toward some of the 38 beautiful colleges that make up the prestigious University of Oxford, considered the oldest university in the English-speaking world. As you cycle, admire the timeworn buildings that throng the narrow roads and gain insight into the city’s past and present from your guide.

In addition to the university buildings, you’ll also visit sites like Port Meadow, said to be the inspiration behind the Alice in Wonderland stories, and the Eagle and Child pub, where the Inklings writers' group, whose members included J. R. R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, often held meetings.

After your 2-hour tour concludes, you can make use of the included full-day bike rental to continue exploring at your own pace, should you wish.

    The tour was absolutely fantastic! Not only was it a lovely way to see Oxford, but we learnt so much about the university history, how things are today and life as a student. Our guide was charming and I think adapted his tales to suit the audience he had which made our experience just right for us. Oxford is flat, so riding is easy.
