    Such a fun and interesting tour! Firstly the guide: not only was she very knowledgeable about Oxford, the history and the Harry Potter films, but she was also very fun and helpful. The journey from London was easy and the paperwork included everything we needed; great organisation that made everything so simple. The tour itself was so good; there's so much to learn about Oxford and the colleges AND then you add in the parallels to Harry Potter....everything I hoped it would be and more. I'll definitely be returning to Oxford and I'm already looking at my next Evan Evans Tour (Leeds Castle!)

    Great self paced Oxford tour, we enjoyed the train ride and were blessed with good weather. We meet the Harry Potter tour guide and she was totally amazing, charming, knowledgeable and fun! The tour was a total joy and we could have gone on for hours with her. Added bonus is that the group was small, just us and one more couple. So the conversation was on the whole time and it felt like we were with friends, that helped a lot. The only problem is that there is no hop on hop off bus tour included in this one, at the time I`m writing this the URL and the other comment mention it, so the value I cannot asses ATM. The guided tour is worth it, 100% but is it really 80+ USD worth to get there and have the tour without anything else, not sure to be honest.

    A solid self-directed excursion with easy train access to and from Oxford (from London). Hop-on Hop-off bus tour was good and the added touch of a live guide made it better than just a pre-recorded audio tour. Only issue was in the direction to print off the bus vouchers which is an unreasonable request when travelling and having no access to a printer. Luckily, the bus operator was able to look at our voucher on our phones and then print us a ticket. If you want to see Oxford at your own pace within a day, this tour is for you.
