Thank you Peter for a fabulous Harry Potter Tour of Oxford University. Your enthusiasm shone through and you made us forget all about the rotten weather. So much interesting information and Peter encouraged questions and always had the answer. We will certainly use your company again when we return in the future. Thanks again for an entertaining and informative tour. Well done!

AGabrielaFG

The tour was great, Renata was our guide, she is very kind and make the visit very interesting and fun. Just take care about the meeting point to start because even when they give you an address you need to wait in the street, not in the real facilities of the location (the address is a location of another tours company, with no relationship with this)... and if you arrive early, there is nobody there to inform you anything...

MereChristian2114

Renata was a fantastic tour guide! Absolutely an expert on all things Oxford, she answered our many questions and was just a most pleasant person to talk with as well. Will definitely book with her again if in Oxford!

This was a surprise present for our anniversary. My fiance and I went on the tour with Peter T. He was incredibly informative and knew all the spots to take photos. My fiance is a big fan of the books and films so he made sure she was not disappointed by the tour. We were given snacks during the trip and we felt very welcomed by Peter. The tour was made extra special by Peters tour guiding skills.

I had a great tour with Sophie (I was alone with her so we can speak a lot about movies and others stuffs about Oxford). I loved to discover the different places (like the cloister in Harry Potter) and spoke with her about books and the life in different colleges.

We had Peter as our guide who was brilliant and made the tour. Great knowledge of oxford and Harry Potter. He was very attentive and interacted with all members of the party. He is an asset to the company.

We had one short weekend in Oxford and we had signed up for a tour on Saturday morning. Peter met our group and got us ready, handing out Harry Potter capes and magic wands and getting us in the mood, but the beauty of this tour is that Peter was a walking encyclopedia of history, stories, movies, and current events. I now have a list of must-sees and long to get up to speed in my knowledge of British history... so that I can come again and feast on the incredible delights Oxford has to give.

We were guided by the local guide Chris and he is amazing. He knows so many facts, not only the hard one, even the funniest stories about the city and universaty. We enjoyned the trip and look forward to come back.

Antanth

Great tour, guide was very knowledgeable, well prepared and accommodating. Oxford is a beautiful place and it was great to have someone explain the sites for us... We’d probably have missed things otherwise. Highly recommend.

BritMidwest

We really enjoyed our Oxford Combi Walking Tour. Peter was an excellent guide and gave us a very comprehensive tour. He adeptly covered the history of Oxford, most importantly colleges, churches & pubs(!), as well as significant literary greats and key sites for Harry Potter + Morse inspirations & filming. Peter made everything come alive and he was most generous with chocolate treats to keep up everyone’s energy levels. He was also very accommodating with my 80-plus-year-old parents and they gamely kept up as the tour was so interesting. Highly recommended!
