Interessanter Kommentar. Auch die Version für Kinder (leider nur auf Englisch) kam gut an. Wenn uns der Fahrer gleich zu Beginn der Tour unsere Ohrstöpfel gegeben hätte, wären auch die ersten Minuten informativ gewesen. Trotzdem ist so eine Fahrt als erste Einführung sehr empfehlenswert.

Whenever I have visitors new to Oxford - I book seats on the open top tour bus. its a good tour but would be excellent if it had a courier doing a live commenttary as used to be the case. The radio commentary is good and available in many languages but the ear phones are not compatible with hearing aids. My friends this time were fellow college students from 65 years ago! Mobility did not allow us to access the top deck but the views from inside did not disappoint. We ended our visit by alighting at the Randolph to enjoy Lunch at the Ashmolean and a wonderful exhibition

This is a very good way of getting an introduction to Oxford. So many interesting stories and famous people that we would not have known otherwise. Especially good when it's raining!! Only thing is the timing of the bus is not always in sync with the speaker. The bus itself seem well maintained and clean.
