Waste of money

Not what it says on the tin, barely any Harry Potter. Also, the company know this and send an email afterwards telling customers not to write a bad review and to email them instead! You can easily do it all yourself, especially the 10 minute visit to Blackwells, the high street bookshop?! All the tours we did independently (multi media/ self guided/ guided) were all much cheaper and way better than this. Disappointing.

Great Tour and Experience

We had a great time with Sue! She was very friendly and knowledgeable. We would absolutely recommend this tour to Harry Potter fans. We were even lucky to have blue skies and sunny weather.

Great way to visit Oxford!

Visit Oxford with a funny perspective, learning about the city, the university, and of course having fun with stories that inspired Harry Potter books. Even if you are not a fan of Harry Potter, you will enjoy this tour!
