Fabulous Oxford with a touch of magic

5.00We booked this tour specifically as it is only a short walking tour, perfect for those with small children or anyone unable to walk long distances. Our tour guide Shane was warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable. The addition of some close up magic was a unique extra to the tour. Having lived around Oxford all our this was a lovely way to show off a small part of our beautiful and historic city to our visiting friends. We were part of small group (11) which allowed ample opportunity for asking questions. All in all a thoroughly lovely way to spend an afternoon in Oxford and at £20 per person excellent value for money.
Brilliant!

5.00Shane was amazing! We learned so many things about not only Oxford but also Harry Potter and even CS Lewis’ possible inspiration for Narnia. My 19 year old daughter said Shane’s tour was the highlight of her time in Oxford and I agree. Great affordable tour! Thanks for a fun time, Shane!
A very enjoyable experience and the best guide

5.00A very thoughtful, friendly and funny guide. We had a brilliant tour with funny stories, mind boggeling magic and interesting facts. We loved the humor and appreciated the thought and effort that was put into the tour to give everyone their moneys worth.
Oxford- for everyone

5.00THE best tour I've ever been on. Shane was a very inclusive guide making sure everyone felt seen and chatted with us all during the little walks from one place to another. His knowledge was both funny and informative. I personally liked the physical copies he had of the filmsets, instead of big ipads it seems most guides uses these days... it felt way more precise and professional this way. I can't forget to mention all the magic tricks along the way. What a way to keep the attention! Funny enough, on our tour some guy came driving in a Lamborghini and one of the teenage boys got to sit in it for a short round around the block! Don't think even Shane could have directed that one better. All and all, I (and many others before me) highly recommend this tour and with shane in particular. You'll either want to move there, or brag about all the knowledge you now know after being there!
Great experience

5.00Traveling can be hard. Did you pack the right things? Is the place booked? Will we all have fun? Do yourself a favor and make it easy by booking with Shane and this tour. ~30+ 5 star reviews. This is a s close to a slam dunk as you can have when traveling. Shane is an Oxfordian who knows his stuff and is a gentlemen to boot. Knowledgeable, friendly, and a great magician. 10/10!
Definitely do this - such fun

5.00Fact filled walking tour with added fun of Shane’s magic tricks. He was knowledgeable and engaging and we learned loads. Highly recommend this tour - even if you’re not a big HP fan as there’s history, literature, architecture and even Robbie Williams.
