Details

Your journey through Oxford's remarkable history begins right outside the Oxford Tourist Information Centre at 15 Broad Street, a thoroughfare known for its bookshops and as a de facto centre of the University. Look for the distinctive red sign next to the Oxfam shop where your guide will be waiting to lead you through this city of dreaming spires. Broad Street itself is home to iconic landmarks such as Balliol College, Trinity College, the Sheldonian Theatre, and the Weston Library, part of the Bodleian Library. Prepare to walk in the footsteps of scholars, literary giants, and perhaps even a few famous film wizards as you uncover the stories embedded in the city's ancient stones and atmospheric alleyways.

Many tours delve into the heart of the University, exploring its historic colleges, stunning architecture, and the intriguing traditions of student life. You might gaze upon the Radcliffe Camera, discover hidden quadrangles, and hear tales of famous alumni. Some tours even offer entry into specific colleges, subject to their own schedules. Whether you're fascinated by literary connections to authors like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, keen to spot Harry Potter filming locations, or simply wish to absorb over a thousand years of history, there's a pathway through Oxford waiting for you.

Had an amazing time at this Harry Potter themed tour. Detailed explanations of every single part of the tour where we visited. Flora was an absolute amazing guide. We had a smaller group than expected, therefore, had a better chance to experience and explore these places in more depth and detail as it took us longer than the approximate time of the tour. No problem that it took longer. It was really the opposite, I liked the fact that it could last longer to make sure we understood each part. I was so pleased to see the divinity school, and also, what shocked me was that I actually saw Harry’s head mark placed on the floor outside, near the divinity school. As this was a smaller group, it was great for me to pop in and buy something that I was looking for, for a very long time. Another thing I noticed (probably not used in the film), was the shaped part above the entrance to the divinity school hall, where this looks very much like the original version of the triwizard tournament trophy.

Amazing experience. Like mentioned above, Flora was great and had great knowledge to tell us more about the Harry Potter film scenes.

Thank you!

Highly recommended, 100%.
