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. So if you are going to drive, then please assume you should be aiming to park your car about one hour before your tour starts.

5.00Great visit, our guide was really nice, full of anecdotes and very professional. I also recommend for the responsiveness of the team and the fact that in this tourist universe they take care of the customers and are very human. See you again with pleasure!

5.00We 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!!

5.00Peter 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.
Private tour with children

3.00I did find that as there was just myself and two children it was hard for the tour guide to keep the interest with the the boys, the link with Harry potter only really comes real in the hall of Christchurch college which we had to return as the guide arrived there while the students were at lunch.
Great.

Perfect!!

5.00This Saturday 26/01 we have an appointment at 10:30 with Naima for the visit of oxford-Harry Potter. We appreciated VisitOxfordTours.com being responsive to our request for a visit in French. Strolling through the oxford "college" in the footsteps of the filming is a great experience for fans. Naima adds explanations about the city and the organization of the "college". The christ church refectory was closed during our visit but Naima gave us our entrance tickets so we could come back in the afternoon as well as visiting tips for our WE and a link for all activities scheduled these 2 days. We did not regret our choice: WhatsApp tracking of our order made on their site is reassuring and their responsiveness to particular requests is top. The 5 people in our group were unanimous, it was great; and a little surprise awaits you on this visit with Naima.
Great tour!

5.00We 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
