Blackwells is the dream of every Ravenclaw, holding approximately holding 250,000 volumes, which translates to 3 miles of books!

Great tour - We had a great time with our guide (I M sorry I cannot spell it correctly!) Neave hanging around the spots where the HP were filmed but also had the chance to know more about the city and it s history. This tour is definitely a must do!

- “Will” was our tour guide and did a wonderful job. Great balance between “Potter” and Oxford history. The touch of humour put the icing on the cake.

- Not only were the sights spectacular but hearing how the history and architecture helped shape the world of Harry Potter was quite intriguing. Will, our tour guide, was not only knowledgeable about the history of the city and the world of Harry Potter but he kept us engaged the whole time. I could not recommend this tour enough.

Great guide on Harry Potter walking tour - We met and checked in at the Oxford tourist office and were a total of 16 divided into two groups of 8. Our guide Will was excellent! Probably one of the best of any tour we have been on. Very funny, friendly and most of all informative. He is a college graduate at Oxford, Queen’s college. Gave us Oxford information as well as Harry Potter information. Got to spend time at the famous Blackwell’s bookstore. Had a good amount of time at each location. Would recommend this tour and if you have the opportunity, ask for Will.

A great way to discover the Harry Potter filming locations in Oxford - A really interesting tour. Olivia was lively and provided lots of information as well as asking Harry Potter questions to keep everyone on their toes! We visited New College and saw where Mad Eye Moody (or the impersonator Bart Crouch Jr) bounced Draco the ferret and many other filming locations.
