Helen – United Kingdom

Stefan was a brilliant guide. He knew so much about Oxford and was able to lead us into all the strange and interesting places - like the Turl Tavern where the child cast of the Harry Potter films used to play at the end of the day. We went into New College and saw the dining room which is just like Hogwarts. and we learnt a whole lot about the amazing history of Oxford on the way. I went with two grandchildren aged seven and ten and they were gripped throughout the 90 minute tour. Strongly recommended.

Reinhard – Austria

We joined the “Oxford: Harry Potter Film Tour led by university alumni” and had a great time with our guide Srusti, a biochemistry graduate from Oxford. She was very knowledgeable about the city and its connection to the Harry Potter films and books. The tour included lots of fun facts, film references, and insights into Oxford’s history. We especially appreciated how she adapted to our small group, answered all our questions, and kept things engaging throughout. A really nice way to see Oxford from both a magical and academic perspective. Would definitely recommend.
