If you are considering studying at Oxford, then what better way to acquaint yourself with the application process and to find out what student life is like, than to book our private tour plus Q and A session with our Oxford or Cambridge educated university alumni guides?
Expected total activity duration is about 150 minutes walking tour plus up to one hour Q and A session led in person and/or by online process.

Our family traveled to Oxford over Easter break with my two sons, prospective students. Because of the holiday, colleges were closed and tours were unavailable. Luckily, we found Visit Oxford Tours who connected us with Peter, an Oxford alum. Peter gave us not only a comprehensive tour of Oxford, but also insights into the application process. Peter was funny, knowledgeable, and super generous with his time. Our tour went well over the allotted time. Recommend!

Peter was exceptional, so knowledgeable and a hoot. We booked last minute as we happened to be in the country and he could not have been any more accommodating. Peter was very flexible and adapted the tour to meet some of my daughters preferences when considering Oxford for college. He weaved in lots of historical references, plenty of Harry Potter and his own uni anecdotes. It rained throughout and we didn't care - it was a lot of fun. Thank you.

Murray was absolutely fantastic!! He was so friendly, wonderfully informative, and deeply interested in showing us all the highlights and inside details of Oxford University. We would highly recommend him as a favored guide!! We could have spent all day with him and gotten a beer afterwards!!! Tremendous experience!! Thank you!!

We enjoyed so much the tour that Peter gave us. It was fun and interesting. We add a visit to Belheim Palace and it was an excellent recommendation, the place and the state are beautiful.

Oxford was the first leg of our family roadtrip this summer.
We were keen to pack in as much as possible to our one day stay so needed a local guide to help us take in the sights and history of this beautiful city. We have two teenage boys and thought it a good opportunity to have them perhaps inspired academically too, so my wife booked a "private oxford students tour with entrance advice session" through tripadvisor for just the four of us.
Alasdair contacted us soon after booking to ask what my son's subject of interest was. Whilst my eldest son has just completed his gcse's with only a vague notion that he might be interested in psychology for uni, and we would have been more than happy with some general insights into student life, we were most impressed that our guide turned out to be Johannes, a 3rd year psychology undergraduate.
Johannes' tour was absolutely brilliant, taking in many interesting sites. He was knowledgeable and engageing; answering all of our questions be they touristy, university, subject or course related.
My younger son is a bit of a film buff so was engrossed by all the Harry Potter and C.S. Lewis facts and stories.
A very informative, enjoyable and inspiring experience had by us all in fact. Highly recommended.

My travel agent helped me locate this company and since we wanted a private tour, we connected with Bespoke Oxford guided private tours. Alasdair de Voil was a fantastic guide, we learned a lot and got to see some areas that you could likely only get access if your tour guide knew everyone at each site. We did not do the Harry Potter tour (which I understand Alasdair does quite well) but got to see many of the sites from the movies.
We did a day trip from London by train which worked out great as we were based there for our vacation and had dinner plans that evening. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent time with our tour guide, Peter. Not only is he a Harry Potter expert who showed us as many film locations and inspirational places as he could possibly jam into our tour time, he is also quite the Oxford history buff. Learning so much about the town made us regret we only planned for one short day there. We absolutely plan to return again and would love to do another tour and learn even more!

This tour is a MUST for Harry Potter fans. Peter is truly the best guide I have ever met. He knows a lot not only about the world of Harry Potter, but also about Oxford. In addition, he knows how to transmit information to all ages and make the tour a memorable and unique experience. You can tell he loves his job. After the tour, he even had the detail of taking my daughter and I to some Harry Potter shops that were outside the tour and giving us tips for eating. I highly recommend it; Peter made our visit to Oxford a fabulous experience.

I came in knowing slim to none about Harry Potter and Oxford in general but at the end of this tour I learned a lot. Peter was an amazing guide and made the tour outgoing rather than dule like most tours are. You see a lot and the quiz questions are fun and knowledgeable. Bonus points for the treats that were given. Honestly would do this tour again. Thanks Peter for showing us around and all the suggestions for the remainder of our trip.
