A very enjoyable and informative walk visiting some colleges and historic buildings. Understanding the history of the time helped to crystallise "what you see" to "what was there" many years ago. Highly recommended.

We we're lucky enough to have Simon to ourselves. It was fun having someone to quote classic literature with, and I learned so much, history and literature wise. I walked away with some author recommendations and new quotes! It was raining, so idk if the itinerary will be the same More...

Excellent tour as an introduction to Oxford. Now we know all the best places to go and what time they are open. Would highly recommend - and do the morning tour so you have the afternoon to explore the places a little more.

We did the Harry Potter Tour and it was amazing.
It was very interesting and informative. Very well, it was not just about Harry Potter.
Renata was a great guide. It was a lot of fun and we can whole heartedly recommend these tours.

Al llegar a Oxford lo primero que hicimos fue tomar un walking tour en español. Sin ser demasiado largo en tiempo (lo que te deja libre para recorrer por tu cuenta) es muy útil para tener un panorama general de la ciudad. El guía fue sumamente cordial y divertido con buena información que nos iba dando. Es importante reservar con antelación. More...

Loved the tour! Amazing guide (Jeff) who was a great storyteller and interactive. The tour took us into one of the colleges (cost included in the package) and showed us important landmarks in the area. It was great that they only take around 10 people a tour which was perfect. Would definitely recommend it. More...

I had a great time learning some history and walking around the gorgeous campau. Made sure to bring comfortable walking shoes because one of the streets are cobbled, old school style.

Peter gave me and my family a wonderful Harry Potter Film Locations Tour of Oxford, including Christchurch. We saw some very interesting buildings and objects, and learned not just about Harry Potter filming locations, but also about the history of Oxford.
Peter gave us a lot of great information and was very patient with my highly inquisitive 9 year old son, as well as with my 3 and 6 year olds.
We got extra time on our tour and then Peter offered everyone a 15% discount at a great bookshop (largest one in Europe). He walked my family to an amazing pizzeria afterwards and then waited for us to finish so that he could walk us to the closest Oxford Tube stop. Peter was very generous with his time and knowledge with everybody. Oxford is a beautiful town and I highly recommend visiting it and booking a tour with this tour operator (Visit Oxford Tours).

Harry Potter tour
“Don’t miss it! Both Laura and Alasdair are great!”
Took the afternoon tour yesterday with Laura as our guide.
She was fabulous! Entertaining, knowledgeable, upbeat and had lots of facts not only about Harry Potter but also about other aspects of Oxford. Our tour consisted of all adults and Laura adapted her talk for us. You could see her enthusiasm about Oxford.
We had made a mistake in our booking and Alasdair was incredibly accommodating and responsive. He also attended the tour, adding a couple of comments. He even accompanied one participant who had to leave early to the rail station. 5 stars all around!

In May 2019 we took part in a walking tour in Oxford (Morse, Lewis, ...) It was an absolutely excellent tour with a lot of background information. Elizabeth (our friendly tour guide) gave us a very good insight into the filming and the characters of the Morse, Lewis and Endeavour series. Even if you haven't seen (all of these) movies, the tour will also be very useful to come to the most worth seeing places of Oxford.Thank you for that lovey afternoon. More...

Peter was the best guide ever!
My husband and I signed up for the Skip the Queue Harry Potter Tour of Oxford. We were lucky that the other couple scheduled for the tour had come that morning, so we got a private tour from Peter.
He was full of information about the history of the city and the university, as well as Harry Potter trivia and film locations. He went above and beyond the call of duty to take us to interesting locales, and took a personal interest in what we wanted to see. Thanks so much, Peter, for the fun afternoon! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

We did a Harry Potter film locations walking tour with 'visit Oxford tours ' Peter our guide was really interesting and made the tour fun for the whole group with costumes and a wand for the children. We also had an interest in Morse/Lewis and he showed us several of these film locations too. Even after the tour had ended Peter didn't rush off but stayed to answer all our questions. Jake his colleague was also helpful and friendly. Thoroughly recommend the tour. it took us to places we never would have thought of going inside. More...

We really enjoyed our "Morse" tour with our guide Tom. He gave us a good overview of the various locations of all the different Morse "incarnations" and also other films and TV shot here or inspired by Oxford. He also gave us interesting insights into both the history of Oxford and also the fascinating minutiae. More...

We took the tour out to Blenheim Palace from Oxford. As a group of 4 we got a very personal tour. There were several events going on that limited our access, but our tour guide navigated the difficulties (loud sound checks for an evening concert and closed areas) with professionalism and persistence. We highly recommend and would use again. More...

The tour with our guide (Peter from visitoxfordtours.com) - was an extraordinary enjoyment! Many facts and secrets combined with smart british humor.
Peter takes pictures of us in Harry Potter costumes and distributes biscuits :-D
The man is incredible! Peter, if you read this: (it is in our brain forever) Oxford is older, bigger and better than... "the place that can not be named''. Thanks for a great time in Oxford! (Joerg & Sylvia from germany) - Peter even made sure we didn't notice the rain. :-)

We did the walking tour of the city with Monica followed by the cycling tour with Andrew. Both were amazing! The walking tour was interesting and informative, and the cycling tour was an amazing experience riding through town, through a field with cows and horses, with stops at a beautiful very old church and at a pub for a drink before heading back. Would definitely recommend!

Nel mese di dicembre io ed il mio ragazzo ci siamo recati ad Oxford per meno di 48 ore a far visita a degli amici, così abbiamo deciso di approfittare di una visita alla città. Il modo migliore era quello di farlo con una guida ed in un tempo ristretto: Oxford Official Walking Tours era la risposta alle nostre esigenze! Abbiamo prenotato online ed il nostro tour è stato guidato da Rob. Per un paio d'ore ci ha accompagnato tra le vie della città e dell'università, ci ha illustrato passaggi storici, aneddoti, personaggi famosi, con incredibile dovizia di particolari e qualche battuta per mantenere viva l'attenzione. Sicuramente c'è molto di più da scoprire e 2 ore non sono abbastanza, ma direi che sono sufficienti ad avere un'idea complessiva ed una visione dei punti salienti. Assolutamente consigliato! More...
