Harry Potter fans - choose this!

Alicia was excellent as a guide, authentic and knowledgeable. Myself and my daughter loved the history and Harry Potter references. It was about 2 hours and felt the right amount of time. Highly recommend.

Adeline is the best guide

It’s was a really wonderful experience even though I’m not a big fan of Harry Potter. It’s a nice way to get to know a little of Oxford’s history, and our guide, Adeline, was the best, she’s super nice and funny

Our tour guide, Adeline was absolutely amazing! She was so energetic, funny, and engaging throughout the tour, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. She shared interesting stories and information in such a lively way that it never felt boring or like a typical guided tour. Her great energy and sense of humour really made the tour memorable. Highly recommended!

Balanced walking tour

A very balanced Oxford University tour with bits of Harry Potter shooting locations. We enjoyed it very much and learnt a lot about the campus. Stefanie was a nice and funny guide.

Highly Recommend

Anna was a delightful guide for our Harry Potter walking tour. She was well-informed about not only the Harry Potter series, but she also shared additional historical facts. A great way to pend the morning.
