In the Glorious city of Oxford, the bicycle is a tradition almost as famous as the dreaming spires themselves; so come rain or shine, winter or summer, Cycle Tours Oxford Limited, (Oxford’s Original Bicycle tour company) provide picturesque, eco-friendly, premium guided vintage cycle tours of Oxford’s rich and fascinating history. Our tours run twice daily, (10am and 2pm) meeting outside of Baillol college on Broad street, opposite the tourist information centre. You will explore Oxford in true Classical and British style, atop 1920s inspired handmade Pashley Britannia bicycles. With planned out routes, on cycle paths and rarely seen backstreets, Cycle Tours Oxford takes you safely to places that are best explored and conveniently reached by bicycle. There are carefully designated stops to allow one to take in the Oxford atmosphere, ask questions and capture those special moments. All tour guides have experience of Oxford and are university level educated, which guarantees that you are embarking on an exceptional and worthwhile adventure delivered by the right sorts of people. Bespoke, group and corporate excursions and rates are also available. Included in the tour are refreshments, and where possible, entry to an Oxford College. We are also privileged that Oxford is the gateway to the cotswolds, a place of outstanding natural beauty and we therefore have tours that go beyond the city limits, escaping the hustle and bustle into the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside!

At Enactus Oxford we believe in making a sustainable, positive impact on our community through innovative social entrepreneurship. StreetView Oxford is an excellent reflection of our ideas and our passion. Oxford has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the UK, even though it is also one of its richest cities. At the same time it is one of the most popular tourist destinations, attracting over 9 million visitors a year. Yet there are no tour services which show visitors what it is like to live in the magnificent city. StreetView Oxford benefits many stakeholders in the community while presenting a unique tour experience of Oxford. We train homeless residents to become tour guides and tell their own tales of the city, adding a personal touch to your time in Oxford. At the same time they gain confidence and skills by conducting tours and start on the path back to self-sufficiency by earning a basic wage. We hope you see the meaning of our social enterprise and the value of seeing Oxford from the StreetView. Please email us to get in touch and book a tour!
