Description
Key point- unlike our competition, our group sizes are usually much smaller-typically under 5 persons outside of high season, which makes for a more personalised experience.
We are the original Oxford Harry Potter insights tour. Join us on Oxford's original Harry Potter Insights tour to find out why so many other tour operators copied our successful tour which has been rated 5 stars by hundreds of happy Muggle Harry Potter fans!
This tour includes £3 entry per person ticket to the Divinity School film site. Any other film sites are introduced but are not visited inside of, on the tour.
Follow in the footsteps of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and other characters from the Harry Potter movies. J.K. Rowling applied to study at Oxford University and so she was familiar with Oxford.
When they were producing the films, Rowling walked the producers around Oxford, pointing out various sights which they could use, such as the statue that looks like 'Nearly Headless Nick', and Turf Tavern Lane, which looks like Knockturn Alley.
This tour showcases where the Harry Potter movies were filmed in Oxford. It includes entry to the Divinity School film site, where they filmed the classroom, dance, and infirmary scenes.
You will be passing the city's famous sights and colleges from the outside. You will also be provided with lots of insights about the actors, the producers and about JK Rowling's inspirations.
Test your knowledge of the books and films with the guide via Potter mania questions throughout the tour. The guide will also describe how student life in Oxford compares with Hogwarts.
Notice: you must book at least two adult tickets to make any booking.
- Private guides are not allowed to take you to the medieval library upstairs at the Bodleian Library but you can go inside the Divinity School film site at the Bodleian Library
- The activity provider cannot always offer entry to the Divinity School on dates when it has a venue closure such as during graduation dates. See published closure dates under What is Excluded section
- On any dates that Divinity School is closed, the tour instead enters New College and the cost of the tour on these dates, has automatically been increased in your ticket price on those given dates only in order to reflect the fact that New College costs £12 per person to enter
