Well worth it!!

Amazing tour!!! Getting to know the film locations with a knowledgeable guide was very nice. The guide also shown us other important historical buildings and why they are important, which is so much better than just look at them. Recommend!!!

Fun and informative tour from Josie

Visited Oxford once before and did a fair bit of exploring, but we got so much out of this walking tour and visited places I didn't see on my own. Josie told us stories behind the different features of the city which were fun and informative.

Great tour!

We had a great tour with Alice! She had great stories to share, was knowledgeable about the history of the various colleges, and explained the university system.

Goes behind the scenes of the stories!

This tour is a must for any Harry Potter fan, but also covers so much more. John not only connected scenes from the books/films to locations around Oxford, but he also explained how the culture at the University influenced the stories. This kind of depth is something that self-guided tours do not offer. Definite A+!

Unforgettable journey through Oxford

Fell in love with Oxford thanks to the journey that Alice took us through. The mix of knowledge, storytelling, and personal alumni experience is what made this an unforgettable experience especially for my mom who had never been to Oxford before. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is planning a visit to Oxford.
