5.00We are lucky to meet our tour guide, Peter who was nice to bring us to walk around the attractions of Oxford and provide detailed background/history of the place. Although we are not native speakers, Peter was very patience to explain to us in funny and interesting way. Kids love to wear the costumes and visit the scene of Harry Potter films. They request to see the films/book after the tour. We enjoy the tour. It gives us a good impression on Oxford. Highly recommended.
Friendly, knowledgeable...

5.00Friendly, knowledgeable guide! Enjoyed the insight and knowledge of JK Rowling, CS Lewis, Tolkien and Lewis Carroll. No preknowledge needed for tour, but added a lot for our experience having read already some of their works!
A journey to remember

5.00Peter was an impressive guide for our family recently in Oxford. We had a bit of hybrid tour with HP Christ’s Church and a River Cruise. Was a beautiful day! Peter had prepared a lovely lunch for us and we started at St. Michael’s church and then headed to the river where we then went to St. Mary’s historic church. We were amazed at Peter’s vast knowledge of Oxford facts as well as all things Harry Potter, Lewis and Tolkien. Unexpected extra stops at the famous Turf Tavern, Blackwell’s Book Shop and the Covered Market rounded out the day nicely. Peter not only provided lunch to our multi allergenic family, but also outfits to wear to celebrate our HP love. We toured the gorgeous Bodleian Library and of course Christ’s Church. Many tricky trivia questions also were a fun experience! We highly recommend touring with Peter and Visit Oxford Tours!
