On a sunny Friday in Oxford
Published on Jan, 2025
We loved this tour. The agenda was very well planned and we had enough time for everything. Our guide was super kind and provided a very comprehensive overview about history and how small bits and pieces are linked to J.K.Rowling and HP themes. The buildings we have seen and visited were fantastic.

Great tour guide but Harry Potter contents not enough for me
Published on Oct, 2024
The tour guide was really great, however, I expected more about Harry Potter. I would’ve liked to hear more about the films or the making of the films or the character
