Visit New College, its Cloisters and central courtyard were used as the backdrop for Hogwarts. New College is featured in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Another filming location you will be able to see is the great oak tree that sits in the middle of the cloister courtyard.

See other key locations, from the outside, that inspired the Harry Potter Stories:

- Christ Church – inspiration for Hogwarts Great Hall. Venture through the ancient back streets to see the Great Hall (from the outside) and Turl Street with its cobblestones which resembles Diagon Alley.

- The Divinity School was a location in several of the Harry Potter films (Dance School and the Infirmary) You can enter The Old Schools Quadrangle it sits within, which houses the different schools including the ‘Schola Metaphysicae’. All are part of the world-famous Bodleian Libraries.

Christ Church is my favourite place to take visitors in Oxford, because it is home to so many wonders. I'm lucky enough to be one of the few guides accredited to take private tours inside. The college caps these at 5 people, so they are very exclusive!

Christ Church is the most famous college in the world's oldest English-speaking university, unique in having a chapel that's also a cathedral.

It has been a place of worship for 1300 years, founded by a feisty Saxon saint before Oxford even existed.

Over time it became home not just to 1000s of scholars but to the real Alice in Wonderland and, more recently, a famous boy wizard.

I invite you to travel back in time via the spectacular Tudor dining hall, miraculously rescued ancient shrine, carved throne of doomed King Charles I, fabulous Hogwarts staircase and rare medieval stained glass windows to get a history of not just the college, but England itself.

IMPORTANT: I'll need to check the college's availability before confirming.

This activity concept is aimed at solo travellers (or friends) of any age who want to meet people and meet locals to see what Oxford life is like. This is an activity idea rather than actually a tour.

Myself or one of my colleague guides will take turns to host walk and talk social activity followed by invitation to join us and other participants for a drink or to eat at a venue wherever the walk ends. I have listed some suggestions of what the guided walk might be but it won't be fixed which walk as it will depend on the weather, the time of year and how many persons turn up. All the tours will be walking distance from the city centre meeting point.

These events will require a minimum of 4 persons total to have booked by 9.30am same day as the events, for the event to go ahead. If these minimum numbers have not been met, you will be refunded in full on the same day and notified that morning of the cancellation. Group sizes will be kept under 15 persons but likely will be smaller.

You will see & hear lots of tours in Oxford and tours aimed at all interests but as a former nanny and now a tour operator since 2010 onwards, I notice that there is not really a tour focused on entertaining younger children. Yes, I do run Harry Potter tours but then it's not only focused on children's interests or attention span. So this new concept tour is to ask children to solve riddles with their parents, as we take in the sights of Oxford but also as we introduce the many wonderful literary legends of Oxford such as Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland and CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia.

A short tour offered only once a week at a time scheduled to suit parents wanting to occupy and inspire their children.

Minimum numbers 4 persons required for the tour to proceed. If we have less than total 4 persons by 8pm on the day before the tour, then you will be refunded and notified of cancellation.

As a student, it truly is my pleasure to show guests around this marvellous city. I've travelled far and wide and there are few places on the planet that can compete with the beauty, history, and majesty of central Oxford. I've been a student here for three years now, and it would be my pleasure to show you around.

We’ll cover as much as we can in three hours. Please note that entry fees are not included in the fee, though they are not necessary for a fantastic tour. NB: with groups of one or two (and possibly three - if we're lucky!), we can access practically every site for free with my student card.

Please note: Colleges, libraries, and other university sites are liable to occasional closures. I will always do my best to plan around closures when they are announced, but please be aware that access cannot be guaranteed.
