She mixed in actual history and facts about everywhere we visited and is a true Harry Potter fan herself. Would recommend if you want a happy mix of HP world fun facts and actual Oxford history.”

We loved that we got a boat ride in between stories, which also is very convenient so that you can rest your legs or use the toilet. We also had our 2 year old son in a stroller with us. Zachary kindly offered to take small detours to avoid stairs, but we have a light stroller and the few stairs on the tour was no problem at all for us. Recommended!:)”
