Our tour was awesome. The tour guide, Peter, called us the night before and set us up to make the most of our morning in Oxford before the tour beginning at 12:45 pm. He then gave us a wonderful tour, taking extra time beyond the stated 2 hour tour due in part because one of us was in a wheel chair that slowed it down a little. When we realized, right before entering Christ Church, that we left a jacket behind somewhere, our guide, who couldn't enter Christ Church and had supplied us with an audio guide, then retraced the tour and found the jacket at a previous site while we were in Christ Church. He was then waiting for us outside Christ Church with the jacket, and spent an additional 15 minutes giving us a Harry Potter quiz which excited the kids. The tour covered a number of interesting sites in Oxford related to topics beyond Harry Potter including Shakespere, JRR Tolkein and CS Lewis. It was a good tour for both parents who may not be interested just in Harry Potter and kids.

The guide Peter was excellent! He shared information about harry potter, but also shared information about other authors such as Tolkien and CS Lewis as well as the history of the college and the town, overall telling a story of Oxford's literary connections to fantasy. It was a very fun way to experience Oxford for the first time, and took us to some actual film locations from Harry Potter! my group booked the admission to Christ Church College and I very much reccomend it. This was a public tour and we had two families with young children and several adult groups. Peter provided info and engagement that appealed to all ages, including a few pieces of Harry Potter gear such as wands and scarves for those who wanted them.

I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Peter, was amazing. He knows a lot of stories about Oxford history and he's a Harry Potter expert. So he shared his knowledge with us. My daughter (10 years old) listened attentively from start to finish ! I therefore recommend this visit. I'm convinced that this is the best way to experience Oxford.
