Nice tour of the universities and lots of background information! I wouldn't have missed it. But it's not a Harry Potter movie tour. You do see some filming locations, but little attention was paid to it by our Guide Alec. As a true Potter fan, you better look for the highlights yourself.

Alec was a great guide. Not only did he tell the group interesting Harry Potter facts, but he also gave us a good deal of information about Oxford University and its constituent colleges. As a PhD student at the university, he gave us an interesting perspective of student life. The tour also included entry to New College, which is an amazing place. I would be remiss also if I didn’t say that I booked for 19/12 instead of 18/12 by mistake, typical of me! But Alec had no qualms whatsoever about letting us join on 18th!

Incredible tour of Oxford University. Alic was an extraordinary guide, both with his knowledge and his humorous little tidbits about the history of the site. We went from one discovery to the next, and really enjoyed discovering all the iconic places in the university town. Bonus point: Harry Potter fans that we are, we were delighted and happy to be able to contemplate and walk the corridors that some of the actors used during the saga. Although Alic may have unconsciously lengthened the tour, it was a wise choice, as we were star-struck at every turn. The only downside was perhaps the rather rapid phrasing of our guide, who at times spoke too quickly for us non-English speakers, not to mention the last-minute change in the tour's organization. Although we had been informed the day before the trip, learning of a change in schedule is still stressful and frustrating, but it's only a detail, as the tour was well worth the detour.

Our Oxford alumni tour guide, Rory, did a fantastic job of pointing out so many Harry Potter points of interests and even had photos from the movies to help us remember the settings. He also shared interesting facts about student life at Oxford. Rory took us to outdoor and indoor HP filming locations, including the Divinity School used as the Hogwarts Infirmary and for professor McGonagall's dance lessons in the Goblet of Fire. We saw the cloisters and tree where Malfoy was turned into a ferret. We highly recommend taking this tour. Ask for Rory if you want to have a truly magical and memorable experience.

Highly recommend this tour when visiting Oxford. Our tour guide Francesca was very intelligent and well-spoken, and did a great job leading our group of 6 (us plus another family). She provided just the right amount of detail during the tour, and even our teens were interested in hearing her explanations of Oxford student life. We saw several Harry Potter film locations and absolutely stunning architecture. We were fortunate to visit during exams and saw many first-year students walking around in their exam attire.
