The staff are helpful and friendly. Go through to the back room for free information. Sadly detailed maps of the city have to be paid for but you can usually find a basic city map inside a free booklet. The walking tour which starts from here was fantastic. The group was small (15 people) and the tour guide was knowledgeable,... More

Our first visit to Oxford was many years ago when we took a tour bus to Oxford, Stow on The Wold and Strafford upon Avon from London.
