I didn’t even have the tour and the service was very unprofessional. They offered me other options and ended up giving nothing. Didn’t like at all.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
We're sorry that you didn't have a good experience. There are always 2 sides to a story. As you cancelled only 30 minutes before the first tour departure, we tried to first, follow your suggestion of an alternative tour 3 days later, then you changed your mind and wanted a tour the next day at a time when there wasn't a tour, but we would have created one for you had you given us enough notice. As you said, we gave you options, we tried to help.
Amazing and well worth it.

I loved being able to see some of both the city and the countryside of Oxford, to hear about the history of Oxford and its growth as a university town.
Fun and relaxing ride around Oxford

Lovely ride around Oxford and the surrounding area. Well paced with frequent stops for talking about the sites, our guide Steven did a terrific job. We had to avoid cows twice on the ride which I loved.
Don’t fall in the canal!

Great afternoon out and about.

We had a great afternoon out and about on the bikes in and around Oxford. James was an excellent guide and dealt really well with the diversions in Oxford the afternoon we went on the tour. We managed to see everything we wanted to see and James was knowledgeable on the area.
Loved cycling along the canal and the Thames - even a stop off for a quick drink on the way (it was a very hot day).
Lots of stops along the way.
Thank you James 😊
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Great to learn you had a good tour and was able to gain some knowledge about Oxford and its surroundings. Riding by the canal and river Thames is really serene - it's hard to imagine you are in the middle of a city! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, James will be pleased with your lovely comments! Many thanks!
No better way to see Oxford!

We loved it all! Cycling through the center and the university, then along the canal and across Port Meadow, there is no better introduction to Oxford. Stephen was a super friendly and well-informed guide!
Fantastic Cycle Tour of Oxford

Friendly bike shop staff prepared our bikes and our guide was Angus who was very personable and knowledgeable. The tour took in all the main sights in the city centre along with a ride along the canal to Wolvercote, returning to the city along the side of the River Thames. The bikes were good quality and we felt safe as there were plenty of bike lanes. This is a fantastic way to see the city as so much more ground can be covered. Would highly recommend.
Fabulous introduction to Oxford

Angus was informative, friendly and professional. There was an excellent balance of buildings and countryside, talking and cycling.

Had a great tour of Oxford with Howard who was an excellent tour guide with great insights into the history of the area. It was brilliant to get out of the city too to see the countryside that’s so close to the centre. When you come to Oxford this tour is a must - the cycling is easy and on the flat.
Very informative

We love to start any city break with a cycling tour and Angus did not disappoint. Very informative and was lovely to also venture outside the city into the countryside, thank you Angus 😀
Enjoyable but cut short

Very enjoyable and informative although we missed beginning as our time slot on booking was an hour later than the one at cycle shop

Angus was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and the tour covered a great range of areas from city centre to countryside outside Oxford. The welcome at the shop before Angus arrived was odd and not encouraging plus safety was not considered at all (no helmets). Other than that a very good tour.
Great start to a weekend in Oxford

Absolutely fantastic!
The tour guide was excellent. If you’re going to stay a couple of days in Oxford you must do this. We saw lots of places we wouldn’t have seen without this cycle tour!!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
