Interesting and informative tour - Great experience, we visited Oxford for the day and booked the Harry Potter tour, our guide Jamie really made the day special taking us around the city and into new college, even giving us suggestions on where to go after and for dinner. Highly recommend the natural history museum too if you have time! Would recommend, we learnt a lot about the city and had a lovely walk in the sun.

Harry potter tour with Aruj - I had the tour with Aruj and it was amazing, she explained all the places patiently and I'd definitely recommend it, also there was a small exhibition going on that she took us there which was not originally in the plan and it was nice.

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.

Disappointing and lacking magic - Im very sorry to say that I would not recommend this tour…First of all it was very rushed. We had about 2-3 minutes at each stop and it didn’t give me time to take in the experience. We were always rushing to the next sight. And halfway through the tour I actually double checked my booking to see if I was on the right tour cause it didn’t feel like a Harry Potter tour. This tour claims to be a filming location tour and although we did see a few of those, a lot of the other stops felt irrelevant. Like where the cast used to grab a pint or the bookstore where Rowling once had a signing.. Rhere are so many filming locations in Oxford that I would much rather see! I would have preferred to spend my money on the entrance to New College and then see all the locations on my own.
