4.00Our guide was very knowledgeable about both Oxford and Harry Potter. He was very friendly and made the tour fun - a true Hufflepuff. New college was closed and it doesn’t go as far as Christchurch, but we still saw a lot.
Great, but not my jam

4.00Our guide was very friendly, passionate about the topics, and cared about our experience! I just think with so much history and stuff to see, I should have selected a different type of tour (more history and faster pace).

5.00Our tour guide of the day was Ben. He is very knowledgeable about history of Oxford. All the questions you asked about the buildings the streets, he gives you details of the full story. He also came well prepared by showing us videos of the Harry Potter scenes while we visited several spots where the scenes were shot. At the end of the trip he also recommended us where to shop and eat for our next day explorations around the town.
Amazing tour! Learned...
