Description

We depart London and make our way to Oxford. On arrival in Oxford, you will enjoy a guided tour of this famous University city. Founded in 1167, Oxford is England’s oldest university. We will take you on an hour professionally guided walking tour of the famous college buildings, amongst cloisters and quadrangles, along the back streets and across cobblestone squares standing in the shadows of the famous ‘dreaming spires’. Our guided walking tour will take you into the heart of this land of hallowed academia, to the Bodleian Library, to the Radcliffe Camera, Sheldonian Theatre, and selected colleges.

Some of the university colleges that you will see include Christ Church, Merton, Oriel, Corpus Christi, Magdalen, University, Queens, All Souls, Hertford, Trinity, Balliol and St John’s. The University has 38 independent, autonomous colleges and you will also pass alongside many others on your tour.

After our visit to Oxford, we join the coach to our magical ‘Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter’. A truly unique attraction which allows you to experience the magic that has gone into creating the most successful film series of all time.

Step into the Great Hall and explore some of the most iconic sets featured in the movies which include Dumbledore’s office, the Ministry of Magic, 4 Privet Drive, Gryffindor common room, the Weasley kitchen, Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express. Discover behind-the-scenes secrets and learn how intricate prosthetics and make up transformed actors into creatures. All will be revealed at the working studios where all eight Harry Potter films were produced. We will spend three and a half hours on the Studio Tour.
