Great Harry Potter Tour of Oxford University!
Published on Feb, 2020
Thank you Peter for a fabulous Harry Potter Tour of Oxford University. Your enthusiasm shone through and you made us forget all about the rotten weather. So much interesting information and Peter encouraged questions and always had the answer. We will certainly use your company again when we return in the future.
Thanks again for an entertaining and informative tour. Well done!
A morning in Oxford
Published on Jan, 2020
The tour was great, Renata was our guide, she is very kind and make the visit very interesting and fun. Just take care about the meeting point to start because even when they give you an address you need to wait in the street, not in the real facilities of the location (the address is a location of another tours company, with no relationship with this)... and if you arrive early, there is nobody there to inform you anything...
Fantastic tour!
Published on Jan, 2020
Renata was a fantastic tour guide! Absolutely an expert on all things Oxford, she answered our many questions and was just a most pleasant person to talk with as well. Will definitely book with her again if in Oxford!
Best Tour made special by our tour guide Peter T
Published on Oct, 2019
This was a surprise present for our anniversary. My fiance and I went on the tour with Peter T. He was incredibly informative and knew all the spots to take photos. My fiance is a big fan of the books and films so he made sure she was not disappointed by the tour. We were given snacks during the trip and we felt very welcomed by Peter.
The tour was made extra special by Peters tour guiding skills.
great tour with Sophie
Published on Sep, 2019
I had a great tour with Sophie (I was alone with her so we can speak a lot about movies and others stuffs about Oxford). I loved to discover the different places (like the cloister in Harry Potter) and spoke with her about books and the life in different colleges.
