Guided bike tour hosted by a local
What you'll do
Start beneath the dreaming spires and roll out through the oldest university city in the English-speaking world. Ellie takes you past the landmarks everyone photographs, then off the tourist track — down cobbled lanes, along the river, and out to the wide commons where Oxford runs into open countryside. Expect the stories the walking tours skip, a gentle pace, and plenty of stops.

-

Meet your guide
