Highlights

Blackwells is the dream of every Ravenclaw, holding approximately holding 250,000 volumes, which translates to 3 miles of books! This is even more impressive knowing that their first store measured only 12 feet square, and held just 700 used books. Don’t…

Great tour with a Harry Potter fan and Oxford Universities insiderties - We had a lovely time with a small group. Olivia, our guide, was excellent, she made the tour lively and gave us plenty of interesting information about the filming spots of Harry Potter and the colleges in general. We would definitely recommend the tour!

Alohomora! Revealing Oxford’s Harry Potter Secrets - Truly a magical experience. Our non-muggle guide (Liv) had a lot of knowledge about the muggle history of Oxford and she was great with the younger witches and wizards in our coven. The tour itself was quite relaxed and we didn’t feel rushed throughout. You’ll recognize a lot of the areas from the boy who lived’s story. Overall, this was a great first time exploration of Oxford that was chockfull of Harry Potter trivia and references!

Outstanding (for a tour led by a Slytherin)! - Outstanding! Olivia was fun, funny, witty and knowledgeable! We loved the tour and had a FANTASTIC time (and won the day for Hufflepuff)! Thanks, team! Much appreciated! You can put the screen down now, boss! 😂

A walk around Hogwarts with an incredible guide :) - This was such a fun and magical tour for any Harry Potter fan. Be sure to book a separate tour for Christ Church (it's not included in this £30 walking tour). But you will see so many amazing, inspiring places around Oxford, including the Hogwarts Infirmary/hospital wing (the Divinity School) and the New College campus, where you might spot students enjoying their lunch in the dining hall...the chapel with inspiring elements...and the classic cloisters that will make any HP fan melt and feel like you're really at Hogwarts.

great tour for Potter heads - My kid really enjoyed the Harry Potter walking tour. It included the entrance to divinity school and new college so was really worth for the money.

Great guide and tour but missing out on a few places - Liv was our tour guide and she was brilliant, very knowledgeable and great with the younger ones. Overall I thought it was great but was slightly disappointed that we never got into the library or the divinity school. I understand there was a private event on in the divinity school (understandable). However, we were told that admission into the library wasn’t included in the tour (but it says it is on the website booking info that it is included). When we went into the dining hall, there were students eating breakfast which felt like we shouldn’t have been there as it felt a bit invasive. Would have been better to go in when they weren’t eating. So overall I did enjoy the tour, saw some brilliant spots and 10 out of 10 for our guide but would rather have gone at a time that worked better to gain access to these areas. Considering we were all paying just under £30 each to view the outside of buildings.

Harry and Oxford - Fun tour, Olivia was great, nice history and Harry Potter features, well worth a try. It’s a bust area you visit so make sure you don’t stand at the back
