PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME:
Please arrive 5 minutes early for your tour at our meeting point. If you arrive more than 5 minutes later than the scheduled tour, then you will likely forfeit and lose your booking as it interrupts the guide and other customers, if we are trying to find you after a guide has started and left the meeting point.
INFO FOR DRIVERS AND PARKING:
If you are driving, then please allow extra 30-60 minutes over whatever time you think it will take you to get here. Oxford is NOT car friendly and it is congested roads and hard to find parking spaces....unless you park at the sign posted 'park and rides' on edge of town on any major road into the city and hop on their buses into city centre. The park and ride buses leave every 15 or every 30 minutes and take anything from 10 min to 30 min (depending on traffic) to reach city centre.

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!
Jake was great!
Published on Jul, 2019
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.
Blenheim Castle also!!
Published on Jun, 2019
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.
Great tour!

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.
Awesome & Informative
