Meet the guide OUTSIDE the address, not inside. The location is not part of our business. The meeting point is the RED PILLAR MAILBOX in front of 11 Broad Street. Your guide wears a royal blue item of clothing with a heraldic shield—this may be a jacket, cap, beanie, scarf, or polo shirt.
Learn about the connections the movie industry has to the University of Oxford and which actors have grown up in the city. You may be surprised quite how many iconic scenes and Hollywood actors have connections here!
Get an introduction to the University of Oxford, and understand how closely linked Harry Potter is to both the university and the city as a whole
Outside a library with a long history, see the likely inspiration for Nearly Headless Nick, everyone’s favourite ghost! Also hear about the scenes shot inside and around the Bodleian, both for Harry Potter and other Hollywood films.
A site which has featured in multiple famous movies, the Radcliffe Square is surrounded by historic buildings and is very much at the heart of the city.
Enter New College, one of the most iconic film sites for the Harry Potter films. A certain ferret gymnastics display took place in the cloisters here!

We enjoyed a lot. Gladson was awesome, funny and we learn ta lot about Oxford itself, understanding how J.K. Rowling inspired herself and use the icons, traditions and spaces in Oxford to create Hogwarts. A must for Harry Potter fans!
I really enjoyed it as I don't really like full on guide tours however I wasn't told at the train station it was a harry potter tour. In a way it was god sent i love all things magical 😄😄
Out host (ms Sushi) was energetic, full of knowledge and attentive to our questions. Her engagemen w our group was good.
Very interesting tour with knowledgeable guide Owen, who kept our 8 and 11 year olds engaged for the whole way round. We learned things about the University and Colleges we had no idea about previously, and the children loved identifying the Harry Potter sites.
I would like to thank Felix very much for this incredible tour of the filming locations of the Harry Potter films in Oxford and for the many personal impressions that Felix incorporated into the tour. We went through impressive buildings that I would certainly not have visited without the tour.
The trip was a blast and personally I was stunned by the places in oxford harry potter was filmed. would 100% recommend. it was brilliant
it was very fun and we had an amazing time walking around seeing places that we have seen on tv i took so many photos because the view
I loved seeing some of the locations from harry potter and our tour guide told us a few things about Narnia and Alice in wonderland which was nice. I loved the information and hearing some fun stories about oxford uni.
it was very cool. I took so many pictures and I got to see all the places where they filmed the harry potter series. definitely a 4.5 out of 5.
The Harry Potter tour was so good. Our tour guide VARA was very friendly and the material tour extra interesting. My daughter was very happy and enjoyed learning about Oxford university and Harry Potter. She is a big Harry Potter fan. I would encourage everyone to take the tour. Thank you once again to our tour guide who gave us so much knowledge.
Took a walking tour around Oxford with Rory, our tour-guide extraordinaire. He was knowledgeable, insightful, friendly, and interesting. We enjoyed his anecdotes on life as an oxford graduate and fellow Harry Potter enthusiast. Toured a number of colleges and grounds showcased in the Harry Potter series. We were fortunate to have private access to places otherwise off-limits. Money well spent and a highlight of our tour of England. Highly recommended!
Our tour was cancelled 34 minutes before it was due to start. When we contacted them, getting a callback after two failed attempts there was no apology and we asked for an immediate refund ( having paid £98 for two ). This was mal-administered with their 'operative ' registering that We had cancelled the tour! We were in Oxford for 1 day, en-route to Southampton for a cruise. This was purchased as a surprise for my Daughter and her Husband who had been married for 1 week. Do not book these people, they are untrustworthy. They should have backups if initial staff become unavailable. This was abysmal service.
Our guide Alec was friendly, informative and funny … one of the highlights of this particular tour was having an actual Oxford student taking us around and giving us insight into life at the colleges, which felt more personal and interesting. We covered so many of the major sights, just exactly what we wanted to see. Highly recommend!
Great Tour, not only did we see original Harry Potter Film locations, our guide Thomas, also showed us exciting places in Oxford and told us funny and interesting stories about the colleges and their famous alumni.
The tour was fantastic. Led by a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable Oxford University student. We learnt a lot about Harry Potter connections to Oxford as well as about Oxford University culture and traditions.
Our guide Alec, was both funny and informative. We were not rushed about and Alec went at a pace that suited us.
What can I say? Great, wonderful, amazing? Any word seems to be un understatement for the walking tour we made with guide Alec. We went to several of the filming locations (Divinity College, New College), but he showed and told us so much more. About Oxford, its colleges, the ceremonies, student life, other filming locations, literally too much to remember. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in Harry Potter or Oxford. It is very much worth its value.
This was a fabulous tour. Alec did a fabulous job and was very knowledgeable of the area and history of Oxford. Highly recommend this tour!
This tour is a must for any Harry Potter fan, but also covers so much more. John not only connected scenes from the books/films to locations around Oxford, but he also explained how the culture at the University influenced the stories. This kind of depth is something that self-guided tours do not offer. Definite A+!
Thank you Iona (sorry if misspelled) for a wonderful personal tour!! I had such a good experience to know about Oxford University
Our tour guide and Oxford graduate student Iona was an excellent guide; friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and postive. Our adult children and their son were with us from California, and though we saw some of the highlights of the Oxford campus, all Harry Potter realted venues were closed, including the Bodelin Libaray and Christ's Church. Iona did the best she could under the circumstances, but we were only able to see photos and "Imagine" the inside of these venues, and we left disappointed in the tour. I can say that Iona is one of the best tour guides we've ever had and if things had been open we would have given this an excellent rating. We did receive a partial refund from the tour guide office.
Delightful and very informative tour given by Jim and Ionia. They know Oxford, it’s place in time and, of course, Harry Potter, like the back of their hands. Access to so many jewels in the ancient city was granted. Content, humour and a welcoming spirit all doled out in perfect proportion. Our thanks.
We really liked the tour and Ana's storytelling. It was very interesting and we enjoyed it a lot
The tour itself was very interesting - it was just unfortunately less Harry Potter than I would have liked
Excellent experience. Very good explanation from Camila and she made the atmosphere pleasant. Excellent idea since she gives you facts as a university student.
We had a very good experience with Skarla (sorry if it is misspelled). She is very knowledgeable, very friendly, kind, and very energetic. She asked us questions and made the tour interactive. I loved it!! Everyone should choose it. We were lucky that there were only 2 of us, so it was very personal and very entertaining.
Thank you for the great tour! It was really fun and the many insights were super exciting. You could see how much knowledge and passion goes into it. Thanks to AK
Our guide was Angelica and I couldn't have asked for anything better. He answered every question we had. I recommend the tour.
