We enjoyed it! - We were on the Harry Potter tour today with our tour guide Camille and it was amazing! We got to see all the Harry Potter sites that were accessible to the public during the time slot of the tour and we got to know all the exciting background information about the connection of Oxford and Harry Potter. The tour is much more than just a Harry Potter tour. It combines Harry Potter knowledge with interesting facts about the university and its history. We can highly recommend the tour.

A great mix of Harry... - A great mix of Harry Potter lore and locations as well as general Oxford University facts. Our guide Gladson was great at tailoring our tour to the groups interests but then going more in depth with myself and my sister who wanted to see a bit more of the uni, as well as giving us some tips of other things to do in Oxford after the tour.

Cool facts about Harry Potter and Oxford! - We originally booked the shared combined walking and punting tour, but were told it was canceled. Nonetheless, the customer service rebooked me in the Harry Potter walking tour, which was very interesting since my son is a fan of Harry Potter. Noah, our guide, was very good and gave us a good insight into what it’s like to be studying at Oxford, while telling us cool stories related to Harry Potter. Overall, a 5 stars tour!!

Loved this tour - Exceeded expectations! A wonderful mix of University history intertwined with Harry Potter highlights. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was difficult to locate him in town at first so some better signage would be my only feedback.

Pleasant tour - The visit was fun and our guide was really nice. The Harry Potter was cool, and the anecdotes about Colleges were interesting. The visit of New College was great, probably my favourite part. Do not expect to enter the other colleges though nor the Divinity Room.
