Our guide Olivia amazingly mixed in a hint of Harry Potter here and there. She was funny and the group was unlike many others not too big. The little magic twist was giving an amusing atmosphere to the interesting facts around Oxford. You really feel like you follow the footsteps of JK Rowling and you feel like you can see how Hogwarts and the world of Harry Potter got put together in her head. I recommend you go on this tour because it’s an affordable and fun way of getting to know the most important parts of Oxford without having to listen to a presentation of dry facts.
