    Incredible tour of Oxford University. Alic was an extraordinary guide, both with his knowledge and his humorous little tidbits about the history of the site. We went from one discovery to the next, and really enjoyed discovering all the iconic places in the university town. Bonus point: Harry Potter fans that we are, we were delighted and happy to be able to contemplate and walk the corridors that some of the actors used during the saga. Although Alic may have unconsciously lengthened the tour, it was a wise choice, as we were star-struck at every turn. The only downside was perhaps the rather rapid phrasing of our guide, who at times spoke too quickly for us non-English speakers, not to mention the last-minute change in the tour's organization. Although we had been informed the day before the trip, learning of a change in schedule is still stressful and frustrating, but it's only a detail, as the tour was well worth the detour.

    Our guide was great! She was very thoughtful, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to! She told us about the Latin and other langues connections with the different Harry Potter words/names. Also was informative about historical events and other cinema connections, not just Harry Potter. I would recommend this tour!

    Our Oxford alumni tour guide, Rory, did a fantastic job of pointing out so many Harry Potter points of interests and even had photos from the movies to help us remember the settings. He also shared interesting facts about student life at Oxford. Rory took us to outdoor and indoor HP filming locations, including the Divinity School used as the Hogwarts Infirmary and for professor McGonagall's dance lessons in the Goblet of Fire. We saw the cloisters and tree where Malfoy was turned into a ferret. We highly recommend taking this tour. Ask for Rory if you want to have a truly magical and memorable experience.
