The Fantasy Worlds of Oxford: Private Tour including tickets

Experience the magical university city of Oxford, and see how it inspired the beloved fantasy worlds of Narnia, Middle Earth, and Wonderland and where Hogwarts was brought to life.

Your tour of Oxford is for the young and the young at heart – for those who daydream of other worlds, of “golden afternoons” amongst the flowers and gardens, of snowy fields and Turkish delights, fantastically larger-than-life battles, of magical lions, and ethereal elves.

To step into an Oxford college is to enter another world. It’s no wonder some of the English world’s most famous fantasy stories were written and filmed here. It’s the city in which the land of Narnia was invented, where Lewis Carroll wrote Wonderland, where Tolkien penned Middle Earth, and where Rowling’s Hogwarts came to life.

No matter your age, perhaps you too will be swept away by this tour into the magic that inspired some of our most beloved tales.

Enjoy the personal attention of your private guide and enjoy a private tour of one of Oxford’s many colleges. Experience the myriad of Oxford’s enchanting streets and uncover the city’s fascinating history. ‘Speak Friend and Enter’ Tolkien’s world, as you explore the streets which he called home around his two colleges.

Journey around the classic sights – the Bridge of Sighs, Radcliffe Camera, the Sheldonian Theatre, and see the Divinity School, which showed up throughout the Harry Potter films.

Wander past the Botanical Gardens, learn about how Tolkien and Lewis both passed many hours in the gardens.

Stroll through Christchurch Meadow, enjoying views of Merton College where Tolkien taught, and Christ Church where young Alice Liddle inspired Lewis Carroll to write Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

See Pembroke College, where Tolkien was a fellow and peer into the quadrangle where the ‘flying lessons’ in Harry Potter took place.

See the Ashmolean Museum where Tolkien worked for two years on the Oxford English Dictionary.
