Coate Water Country Park

Leave Oxford city & the crowds behind on this small-group tour and enjoy a 3 hour bike ride with scenic views. Cycle past traditional narrow boats, ducks, swans, and of course Oxford's famous teams of rowers out on the Thames river. There are two routes available, both of which include an optional garden pub stop. Fun for all ages but a good family activity too. Learn about the rowing races and the historical importance of trade along the river, and the various writers, including Lewis Carroll, whose story-telling is the result of days messing about with boats on the river.

You will see more scenic beauty & experience nature better on a bike tour than by car. This tour is delivered only by myself, Alasdair and my local colleagues. I am the business owner of Visit Oxford Tours. However, for insurance purposes, these tours are actually booked to be conducted privately via myself as a self employed sole trader offering you a personal service. They are not delivered as a product delivered by Visit Oxford Tours Ltd. This legal distinction will be reconfirmed in writing whenever any booking is received. Default itinerary is 10am to 5.30pm. The Cotswolds is a scenic part of England located only 10 minutes by train from Oxford or less than 30 minutes tax ride from Oxford. Oxford is only 60 minutes from London Paddington station. It's my pleasure to share these sights & heritage with you on an active cycling tour. Participants must be fit and aged 14+ as the Cotswolds roads are lots of up and down cycling but the scenery plus the villages here are beautiful.

This activity concept is aimed at solo travellers who want a short introduction tour lasting typically about 90 minutes. The tour focus is variable eg about the university or Harry Potter in Oxford. The pricing reflects the fact that this tour can only be booked by 1 person max and if you 2 persons or more, please just book one of our alternative tours listed. Which college we may visit inside will depend on what's open and please note that if you are a Harry Potter fan, then instead option exists to see inside the Divinity school film site at the Bodleian library. Entry fee up to £3 is included in the tour. If you may wish to see inside any other colleges, that can be discussed on the day but with any additional higher entry costs to then be paid by yourself. The meeting point and start time is fixed and you are booking the guide for up to 90-120 minutes tour duration. See exclusions below for dates of eg university graduation dates or Xmas dates, when few or no colleges open.
