This was a fantastic tour which Peter made so individual and special from the Harry Potter outfits, the quizzes and don’t forget the cakes!! He has such amazing knowledge of the subject and the city, the whole family old and young, really enjoyed it!

CamOpartyof5

We couldn’t have asked for a better guide(Jake) through Oxford. He kept our three kids engaged and was full of trivia for adult and child alike.

fidelvillarreal

Peter our guide was the best!! He could keep a teenager and two kids very interested for almost 7 hours. The Harry P Oxford tour was very interesting but don’t miss de Blenheim Castle, a unique experience and with a great guide like Peter it makes it even better.

I did find that as there was just myself and two children it was hard for the tour guide to keep the interest with the the boys, the link with Harry potter only really comes real in the hall of Christchurch college which we had to return as the guide arrived there while the students were at lunch.

amieralee

Everything was great! Peter put together a fantastic itinerary . It was full but not exhausting. He was so friendly, even offered us some deserts . He also brought harry potter robe, wand and hat for us to take a picture with it. Totally recommended. 👍🏻💯

Rachael7437

We took the Harry Potter tour with Peter this afternoon and all had a fabulous time. We took our 9 and 12 year old children who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Peter was very good at capturing everyone’s attention and was very engaging and entertaining. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Our Guide Naima was amazing. She shared so many interesting nuggets and had a great way about her. 5*

Superbe visite, notre guide était vraiment agréable, plein d’anecdotes et très professionnel. Je recommande également pour la réactivité de l’équipe et le fait que dans cet univers touristique ils prennent soin de la clientèle et sont très humains. A une prochaine fois avec plaisir!

Fanny B

J'ai passé plus de 2 heures géniales avec un guide pas du tout ennuyant qui a de bonnes anecdotes et des histoires à raconter sur tout. Quelques surprises vous seront réservées, vous ne regretterez pas :)

Ce samedi 26/01 nous avons rdv à 10h30 avec Naima pour la visite d'oxford-Harry Potter. Nous avons apprécié que l'organisme VisitOxfordTours.com soit réactif à notre demande d'une visite en français. Déambuler dans les "college" d'oxford sur les traces du tournage du film est une belle expérience pour les fans. Naima ajoute des explications sur la ville et l'organisation des "college". Le réfectoire de christ church était fermé lors de notre passage mais Naima nous a donné nos tickets d'entrée pour que nous puissions revenir l'après-midi ainsi que des conseils de visite pour notre WE et un lien pour toutes les activités programmées ces 2 jours. Nous n'avons pas regretté notre choix: le suivi WhatsApp de notre commande faite sur leur site est rassurant et leur réactivité aux demandes particulières est top. Les 5 personnes de notre groupe ont été unanimes, c'était super; et une petite surprise vous attend lors de cette visite avec Naima.
