His personality really made the tour special, and we had such a great time walking London with him. We would absolutely book with Alex again, both he and this tour were phenomenal!”

It was a lovely way to see Oxford whilst still learning about the past history and present use of the buildings today. A great way to see Oxford if you’re a Harry Potter fan but short on time like I was. A perfect addition to a day trip to Oxford.”
