This was well worth it and our student guide was excellent. Definitely do the combo walking and bike tour. The bikes were not the greatest but were adequate. This tour does not take you inside any of the colleges so be sure to do a separate tour for that. We had limited time. Nice introduction or just time for the highlights. We plan to come back and spend at least 3 days.

Fred was an excellent guide through Oxford. We loved the walking and biking combo. I was a bit nervous about biking though Oxford, but it was easier than I thought it would be. Thoroughly enjoyed and would do again!
