Great Day Trip

Published on Jun, 2024

Well coordinated day to Oxford. Our walking guide was very knowledgeable, and enjoyed the touches of Harry Potter

History, Intrigue and Harry Potter....what more could you want!

Published on Oct, 2023

Such a fun and interesting tour! Firstly the guide: not only was she very knowledgeable about Oxford, the history and the Harry Potter films, but she was also very fun and helpful. The journey from London was easy and the paperwork included everything we needed; great organisation that made everything so simple. The tour itself was so good; there's so much to learn about Oxford and the colleges AND then you add in the parallels to Harry Potter....everything I hoped it would be and more. I'll definitely be returning to Oxford and I'm already looking at my next Evan Evans Tour (Leeds Castle!)
