Map & Directions

Road Directions

Our meeting point is easy to find. Located 10 minutes and 15 minutes walk from Oxford coach station and train stations. Just ask for directions to the visitor info centre on Broad street. Our guides wear a red <i love oxford> lanyard & will meet you outside entry area, next to our signs & bike trailer. If driving here, there is 3 hour parking on Mansfield road or Saville road at cost of about £6 but we strongly recommend to avoid parking in city centre. Quicker & usually cheaper to instead park at the advertised park&ride scheme on major roads into Oxford.

Public Transport Directions

Exiting coach or train station, Broad street is 10-15 minutes walk away. Just ask directions for Broad street in city centre and for the visitor info centre. We meet you OUTSIDE, next to our signage on bike trailer.
