EXCELLENT Based on 171 reviews Posted on Google Thomas ThrockmortonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shane is awesome. Knowledgeable, engaging, funny. Everything you want in a tour guide.Posted on Google Jean-Francois BérubéTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ce fut un grand plaisir de faire ce tour. Notre guide nous a fait voir de belles subtilités que nous n'aurions pas vu seul. Il nous a donné de bon conseil sur quel collège visiter. En plus, nous avons eu droit à des tours de magie en route, de la part de notre guide-magicien! Une belle aventure.Posted on Google Luvena LiangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10 Recommend! Shane was a great tour guide with lots of knowledge about the history (and magic) of Oxford, witty jokes, and of course, impressive magic to go with it all! It was really cool seeing the tricks so up-close; even compared to a previous Penn&Teller show, it was still fun and impressive to watch. Thanks Shane!Posted on Google Anthony HigginsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone really enjoyed the tour, my children were completely engaged and asked lots of questions. Really recommended.Posted on Google Deborah Smart (Debbie)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a Londoner, I didn't consider a day trip to Oxford worthy of booking a tour, but then I saw the TripAdvisor reviews. Booking a tour, with Shane as the guide, was a bloody brilliant idea. The tour was 90 minutes long and in that time I learnt a lot about Oxford and the magic tricks made many in the group gasp in astonishment. I thoroughly recommend Oxford Magic Tours. Thanks Shane, I really enjoyed the tour, the jokes and the magic.Posted on Google TrevinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shane was a pleasure. He delighted us along the way and provided so many tips for our stay. We loved the genuine nature of the tour and all the magic along the way!Posted on Google Robin BaumannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolutely recommended tour through Oxford, following in the footsteps of various magical stories. From Harry Potter to C.S. Lewis's Narnia to the historical facts of Oxford's buildings. Here you will learn a lot of exciting things in an entertaining way that only Shane knows how to convey! As an illusionist and magician, Shane is the perfect tour guide and wins people over with his friendly manner! His knowledge is vast, and his tips and local recommendations were invaluable. Thank you, Shane! We did the Tour in September.
