• 5Magical Tour

  This tour was very informative and gave lots of insight into the many things that influenced JK Rowling. The Oxford campus was beautiful. I only wish I would have known to get tickets to the actual Oxford Library in advance because after the tour they were already sold out. We also walked all the way to the Christ Church after the tour only to find out it was closed until Oct. 6th. Seems like this should have been information that the tour guide should have shared and been aware of. Overall our tour guide Ana was fantastic and definitely had lots of good trivia questions.

• 5An excellent tour!

  Both me and my wife had a great time on the tour. Matias was very knowledgeable, all the info was relevant and gave that insight into bits you just wouldn’t know about otherwise. The divinity room was closed for our tour but I got a message very early on before the tour stating this so managed to pop over and get in beforehand. The refund was handled without even asking! Perfect. Really good way to spend a couple of hours.

• 5A great time with Naima

  We had a great time! Naima was a lot of fun and very informative, not only about Harry Potter but about the University as well. She was also a great resource for tips on dining and other activities. Highly recommend!

  We had a really nice tour guide (Neve)! She was really nice and guided us through the film sets, but also explained a lot about the university and answered all of our questions! It was really interesting and fun to see, so overall a great experience!

About Oxford

Oxford is England's famous university city, with honey-coloured colleges, libraries, museums and river meadows beside the Thames and the Cherwell.

Oxford has been a university town since the 12th century, and its dreaming spires belong to colleges that stand shoulder to shoulder around quadrangles and gardens. The Radcliffe Camera, a round domed library, the Bodleian Library, the Sheldonian Theatre and Christ Church, whose dining hall inspired scenes in the Harry Potter films, are the best known. The Hertford Bridge, a covered footbridge nicknamed the Bridge of Sighs, links two parts of one college.
