*Some of these gifts were supplied to us for free, however, we have only featured products that we genuinely love.
![[AD] We had a fantastic family day out yesterday, exploring Oxford. We took in the sights aboard the City Sightseeing Tour buses, were punished to the stocks for pinching onions, visited the filming locations of Harry Potter, came face-to-face with towering dinosaurs, and followed in the footsteps of Alice in Wonderland. Genuinely, we did.
.
All of that was made possible and easy using the City Sightseeing Oxford Tour buses.
.
There is so much to see and do in Oxford for all the family; fascinating museums, theatres, historical buildings, beautiful architecture, restaurants, shops and open spaces. The Open Top buses provide a brilliant way to get around and discover all the major attractions and some beautiful hidden gems too.
.
Using the City Sightseeing buses are easy. The city tour tickets are valid for 24 or 48hrs and you can hop on and off when and where you like along the route. The route includes 22 perfectly placed bus stops, making all of Oxford's great attractions easily accessible to its users. The buses offer an audio guide (in alternative languages) and a kid's commentary suitable for all ages too. City tour tickets also include a FREE 30 minute walking tour and offers discounts for local attractions and restaurants.
.
If you are looking for a fab day out this Summer, visit Oxford and discover everything it has to offer. Visit @oxfordbusco for City Sightseeing Tour and ticket information. .
