Perfect Tour for Oxford / Harry Potter Fans

The tour was amazing! The guide was very knowledgeable about the buildings and the Harry Potter aspects throughout the campus. It was amazing to see the inspirations throughout. I think the value was worth it as you got access to a few different areas on the tour that would have cost extra if doing alone.

Adriana, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us about Harry Potter and facts/history of the college. It was about 1.5 hours long and we walked about 1-1.5 miles total
