  • Perfect Pitch of Iconic Oxford.

    What a perfect day out! From a friendly greeting in the dawn of London winter to a joyful farewell (and chocolate chip cookies) at the end of the day, the guided Oxford day tour with a pickup in London was wonderful. Our driver gave us a great history of Oxford on the way up in the very comfortable van (without talking too much), everything in Oxford was done efficiently and with humour and our guide for the walk was knowledgeable, witty and self-effacing (a rare and attractive trait in an emerging academic). The group size was perfect, enough to be easily manageable but large enough to avoid answering questions if you wished! We could not have asked for a more interesting, informative and enjoyble day in that wonderful city! An absolute ripper day and the London pick up is well worth the extra fee!

  • Outstanding, educational tour of Oxford!

    Our family of four (two college-age kids) loved every minute of this experience and truly appreciated the perspective and wit of both our guide while in Oxford, a charismatic third-year history student, as well as our shuttle driver between London and Oxford, also an Oxford alum and perhaps one of the principles of this small tour company. The communication about possible, minor changes to our tour leading up the departure date, given Oxford University proclivities, was also excellent. We highly recommend this tour and this tour company.

    We booked an Harry Potter Oxford Tour with London Pick-up Service. Dougall came early and met us up in front of the station. The meet up point is very easy to find. After a bit of interesting conversation, he drove us to Oxford. Along the drive he explained a bit of history of the roads we drove on and also history connecting to our tour in Oxford. We ended up taking the scenic route to Oxford because of road closure but it was very nice detour. In Oxford we met Antonia, our wonderful and knowledgable tour guide. She guided us through the history of Oxford University and how it become the Oxford we know of now. Also she pointed out the places that were used not only in Harry Potter movies but also Narnia too! Unfortunately the Bodleian Library was closed this time. But it was overall an exquisite tour. I would recommend it to anyone interested in visiting Oxford, regardless of their interest.

    It was a lovely and good experience to enjoy the tour. The guide was really nice and know anything. You can ask anything and she answered it well. It really nice for parents and children or someone who has a dream to have a degree from Oxford. They will explain it for you. How you apply from the beginning untill you acceptance. It was 3 hours walk. But it was fun with Antonia. Oxford is just beautyfull old city. The preserved their originality. And developed it to be a modern but not erased the autenticity of Oxford. The driver , who drove us from London is very thoughtfull and nice. During the ride he told us about history of the landmark.. The car is very comfort and really nice. Don't forget because the old city, the road is still with stone, so that make it unevently. So please used the comfort shoes. I was in December 2025 at oxford and the day was just great. Not raining but still cold and wind..

    The four of us went to Oxford for a day. The organization was excellent, the small-scale advantage was more attention. In short, a very successful day.

    Our driver, Dougall, was very polite & knowledgeable, and at Oxford, our tour guide, Megan, was also very pleasant. Overall, I would recommend the tour as it was a nice change of pace from London, and it was interesting to learn about the history of Oxford.

    The communication was fine It was well organized. It was obvious. We knew exactly where to gather/be picked up. The explanation of Fred our driver to Oxford was perfect. He told me a few things about Oxford. The walk in Oxford was also well organised. With a good guide who knew a lot to tell I would definitely recommend it. Good luck and thank you.

    Fred was an exceptional guide. The minibus was very comfortable and Fred made the ride quite entertaining. Nick was a great guide for the Oxford walking tour. They also provided enough free time to do a little shopping and get a good meal without feeling rushed. Al in all it was a spectator day.
