Oxford Magic Walking Tours: Recognised as the Best New Tourism Business of 2024-2025
Best New Tourism Business of 2024-2025
Oxford is famous for its historic university, breathtaking architecture, and enchanting hidden gems. For centuries, people have wandered its cobbled streets, captivated by tales of scholars, royalty, and literary legends. But in recent years, something a little different has been capturing the attention of both tourists and locals alike.
We’re thrilled to share that Oxford Walking Tours has been officially recognised as the Best New Tourism Business of 2024-2025. In just two years, we’ve carved out a special place in the heart of Oxford’s tourism scene—offering a tour experience unlike any other. Blending Oxford University history, magic, and live entertainment, we’ve created an unforgettable journey that brings the city’s stories to life.
⭐ Why Oxford Magic Walking Tours Stands Out
In a city with over 40 different walking tours, we knew we had to be different. That’s why we designed an experience that doesn’t just tell the stories of Oxford—it brings them to life through magic and performance.
Led by Shane, a professional magician who has performed for the British Royal Family and A-list celebrities, our tours captivate audiences of all ages. As you explore the iconic streets, colleges, and landmarks, you’ll witness mind-blowing close-up magic woven into the historical narrative—making the city’s past feel alive and tangible.
🦉 The Magic of Harry Potter and Oxford University Combined
Oxford is renowned for its connections to the Harry Potter films, with several of its historic buildings serving as backdrops for Hogwarts scenes. Fans of the series are enchanted to visit locations like:
The Bodleian Library – Used as the Hogwarts infirmary.
Christ Church College – Its grand staircase and dining hall inspired Hogwarts’ Great Hall.
New College Cloisters – Featured in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
While many tours focus solely on Harry Potter filming locations, we go beyond the screen magic. On Oxford Magic Walking Tours, you’ll not only visit these spellbinding sites but also experience real-life magic performed by Shane, making the tour even more immersive.
🎩 Oxford University Like You’ve Never Seen It Before
Of course, no Oxford walking tour would be complete without exploring its world-famous university. But instead of simply listing facts, we weave together history, mystery, and magic tricks to keep you engaged and entertained.
You’ll walk through the same colleges that shaped world leaders, authors, and scientists, while being entertained with magical illusions that add a touch of wonder to the experience. Whether you’re a history buff, a magic enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun day out, this tour offers something for everyone.
