Description

This tour has been booked by thousands of Muggles visiting Oxford and we created the original Oxford Harry Potter Insights tours- which have been much copied thanks to our successful structuring of a tour which entertains the most enthusiastic fans of Harry Potter but which also introduces Oxford student life, the university and compares how traditions at Oxford, compare with Hogwarts. We go into lots of details about the inspirations of JK Rowling and the making of the films and we carry gowns for memorable photos plus you will get to test your knowledge of all things Hogwarts against the guide. We are passionate about Oxford and we share stories and facts about Oxford's other famous writers too such as Tolkien, Lewis, Pullman and Lewis Carrol. This tour lasts two hours guided tour plus additional one hour self guided entry into Christ church. We guarantee you entry tickets for Christ church which is quite a trouble to otherwise purchase entry tickets to. Please book ahead as entry tickets to Christ church are very limited in summer and on weekends year round. Enjoy a walking tour introducing the making of Harry Potter in Oxford and an audio-guided tour inside Christ Church College. See and hear about both Harry Potter and Lewis Carroll’s legendary characters, such as Alice and the Mad Hatter.  Admire the views of Christ Church Meadows. Take in the borders of the rivers of Cherwell and Isis. Next, see longhorn cattle graze and the dreamy spires of Merton College and Corpus Christi.  Plus see inside the Divinity school at the Bodleian Library, one of the oldest libraries in Europe. This tour does NOT visit inside Duke Humfreys medieval library at the Bodleian library, as it's not open to children or to private guided tours either. See Christ Church's cloisters and staircase that were used as inspiration for the Great Hall, or visit New College.
