It’s even more remarkable considering their first store was only 12 feet square and housed just 700 used books. Be sure to check out the…

Bloody brilliant Harry Potter tour - I was doubly blessed to have amazing weather and be the only person on the tour. Valentine, my tour guide, was full of knowledge about Oxford as well as Harry Potter. She included fun trivia questions about the movies and fascinating historical information about the city. This tour has been the best by far. I highly recommend it to any Potter fans.

Oxford Harry Potter Tour with kids - We had a fantastic experience! the entire team was incredible. Despite us arriving late due to a train delay, they were so accommodating and made sure we didn't miss out, which we really appreciated! Our guide Valentine was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and especially great with the kids! She brought the tour to life in a fun and interactive way. Gabi at the reception was also fantastic- Welcoming, helpful, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend- 10/10!

I had a fantastic time on... - I had a fantastic time on the Harry Potter walking tour in Oxford. The tour was really engaging and full of interesting stories about the filming locations and the history behind them. It was exciting to see places that inspired scenes from the movies and to learn little details you would never notice on your own. A special mention to our guide, Vaish, who was absolutely amazing. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made the whole experience fun and interactive. Her storytelling really brought the tour to life and made it memorable. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you are a Harry Potter fan visiting Oxford.

Great Tour, Uneven Communication When E-Mailing - I reached out several times to request the name of our tour guide to thank her personally for the fantastic experience she provided. E-mails were never responded to. Good communication is part of the tour experience and it's frustrating my messages haven't been answered. Weirdly enough, when we needed to reschedule from 24 Feb to 25 Feb, the messages were answered promptly. We were the only two people on the tour and we were pleasantly surprised it wasn't cancelled as many other tours were during our 2 weeks in the UK. Although we unfortunately can't thank our tour guide by name, we were in Oxford on the 25th of February.
