Train to Oxford to follow Harry's footsteps - The guide was lovely and informative, an Oxford gradiate in biochemistry, she took us to a massive room in the Blackwell library which we definitely would have missed, she was excellent.

Wonderfully informative tour - We were the only 2 people on the tour. Our tour guide was Gladson and he was superb. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Oxford University buildings and filming sites for Harry Potter. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable tour

Overall a great experience - Great fun, our helpful and friendly guide Rohan had good knowledge of Harry Potter films, the author/ filming and sites, as well as general knowledge on Oxford sites. The tour was billed as being 1 1/2 hours, but was only 1 hour. We had a small group, so maybe that was the reason. Overall a great experience.
