Harry Potter Filming Locations Tour from London (Oxford & Lacock)

A Magical Tour!

It was my honor to to take the very first Harry Potter Filming Locations Tour by Go Tours UK on October 1, 2026. Claire, the guide/driver, is VERY knowledgable about the cast, filming, special effects, etc. involved in making the first Harry Potter movie. Spoiler alert - Claire was part of the crew! She is lively and full of fascinating facts about Harry Potter and the general history of the locations. Oxford is magical on its own, and the Harry Potter connection adds another layer of delight. Similarly, Lacock is very charming. I was thrilled to see the town center of 'Godrics' Hollow' and 'Slughorn's House', as depicted in the Potter movies, among other sights. I enjoyed the tour immensely, and highly recommend it!!
