What are people saying about Oxford

Harry Potter Walking Tour of Oxford Including New College

Eric_S, Oct 2026

Fun Harry Potter tour

Our guide Alissa was great. She was knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. Seeing the quad at New College where Mad Eye Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret was the highlight. Alissa was full of Harry Potter facts and we had a fun trivia competition between the four Hogwarts houses. Some of the tours connection to Harry Potter was tenuous at best, but overall it was very worth it and enjoyable.

Engaging informative tour

A highly informative and engaging tour of the university colleges and the history of Oxford. Elliot bought lots of first hand student experience and explained how the Oxford system of teaching differs to other universities. It was wonderful to have his excellent knowledge of Latin as he was able to translate headstones within the chapels etc. We thought the tour provided excellent value and was a great insight into this ancient and fascinating university town.

Andrew provided us with an excellent and interesting insight into some of the key elements of Oxford’s history, architecture and academic life. The chosen route for this walking tour included access to college halls, courtyards, a chapel and marvellous bookshop. He ensured the pace was appropriate for my needs and we thoroughly enjoyed his company.

A great tour with fantastic stories

It felt like a slightly chaotic start and the instructions here should tell you to go into the Tourist Information Centre to get your wrist band, not just to meet outside. But after talking to random people, we found out what we needed to do. Despite the bumpy start, we were greeted by Oscar, our guide. What an interesting and engaging young man; someone born to tell a good story. The tour took us to so many interesting locations. Oscar giving historical information and great insights into student life in Oxford. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. A great way to get to know about the Colleges and Oxford. Thanks Oscar!

Don’t miss this!

My wife and I had a wonderfully informative conversation with guide Jason Thomas as he walked us through the Oxford town and university and almost a thousand years of English history. We came to appreciate far better, the central role of Oxford in early British history and the development of higher education in the UK. We feel very fortunate that we could have Jason as our guide. He did a brilliant job.

Afternoon Tea and Boat Trip. An excellent combination!

I was only in Oxford for the day, and I couldn't pass up a trip down the river. I decided to arrive early and treat myself to an afternoon tea at the Folly Restaurant. It proved to be an excellent combination! Everyone I met during my experience was friendly, chatty and professional. I chose this one following other online recommendations, and I am glad I did. An excellent experience.
