Found Felicity on Trip Advisor and contacted her regarding a custom-made tour of Oxford's colleges as they related to the Harry Potter movies. Because of Felicity's connections, we got A-list access (read: early entrance, skip the lines) to Christ church and many other areas off-limits to those without an Oxford connection. Felicity's knowledge is impressive, and she was able to... More

The perfect tour guide! Absolutely superb and did just what we asked for. Go with Felicity for a tour of Oxford and you will come away with lots of fascinating info that you'd never learn on the other tours. Thank you Trip Advisor for putting me in touch.

My family and I had a 90 minute walking tour with Felicity. We had an exclusive entry from the Tom tower to visit the film site of Harry Potter and the model of the dinner room. We gained a lot of valuable knowledge of Oxford (even though there are a lot more to know) that we could not imagine. Although... More

We had a quick 90 minute walking tour with Felicity, including access to the original debating hall (has a more precise name which I do not recall) at the Bodleian Library. We were the only people there and were able to sit and imagine the great debates and thinkers that had graced the hall

It`s not often that I rate anything 5 stars, but our short tour of Oxford was truly excellent. Our guide; Felicity, had such a wide knowledge of the city, it`s wrinkles, past and present ...... such a pleasing manner of explanation, such a mellifluous voice ....... that I could not rate her less. If you are interested in the city... More

Felicity escorted our family of four on a wonderful tour starting at Christ Church and encompassing quite a lot of university information as well as some fun Harry Potter, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis spots. It was two hours well spent and ended at the covered shopping area at a great little cake shop. We booked this ahead of time... More

A group of us, two American families with three teenage daughters, took the train up from London to spend the day touring Oxford and the Cotswolds. I had arranged by email to have Felicity meet us at the train station to begin our two hour private tour of Oxford. After spending two jam packed hours with her in which she... More

We had a really interesting and informative tour with Felicity. Her knowledge was incredible, including the history of The Carnation. During exam time undergrads wear carnations - white for first year, pink for second year and red for third years. This is a tradition started by an undergrad who wore a white carnation at the beginning of his exams. He... More

Felicity gave our group a most interesting two hour tour. She will try to tailor make your tour to suit the common interests of your group. Starting at the oldest part of Oxford, she gave us an enthralling talk and walk around some of the old colleges and knowing our common interest in food, ended the tour in the old... More

Felicity from Hidden Oxford took us on this tour which lasted about 2 hours. Felicity was really friendly and accomodating and definitely knew her stuff. Whilst showing us around the locations for filming... More
