Great tour experience with Stefan - Our tour guide Stefan created a great experience for our family today. His knowledge of Oxford and Harry Potter was great, and he delivered it in an entertaining and engaging way. He also helped us find the Narnia lamp post and Mr. Tumnus door sculpture after our tour, which was nearby. We highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommend! - As we aren't as 'into' Harry Potter as when our kids were young, we weren't really sure what we were signing up to. This tour was very informative about the past and present Oxford University, which we found fascinating. There were a few references to where JK Rowling got her inspiration for filming scenes, and that was also really very interesting. Our guide (sorry we can't remember his name) was excellent.

Highly enjoyable Harry Potter tour - We had an amazing tour with our excellent guide Stefan. We learned so much about Oxford’s history and saw some great sites where scenes from Harry Potter were filmed. Stefan was charming and informative and our grandchildren aged seven and ten were entertained throughout.

Tour was canceled last minute - We were called about half an hour before to inform us that the tour was cancelled but that we could rebook on an Oxford walking tour without the inclusion of New College, which was the Harry Potter part of it. We were told that New college couldn’t accommodate their group tour because they had high traffic that day. When I called New College directly, they disputed what the tour told me and said they were indeed accommodating group tour and that my tour company probably just didn’t want to pay the extra admission. I really would have liked to do the Oxford tour along with New College, so just canceled. I went to new college on my own and saw some large tour groups there. Not sure what the case is but it was unfortunate to have our tour cancelled last minute.
