I was born in France and am of Algerian origin. I've been a tour guide for 15 years, working in France, Algeria, and for the last 5 years in Oxford, a city I fell in love with. I studied both Art History and Cultural Anthropology in France, specialising in the study of Building Heritage policies and published my research on the emergence of colonial architecture in Algeria. Being a tour guide is more than a job for me, it's a fantastic way of living; I get to meet so many people from so many different backgrounds, whom I would probably never meet otherwise. I get to share my passion for history, art, and architecture and connect with them in a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful settings. I love Oxford because it's a dynamic and cosmopolitan city which offers a wide range of entertaining and cultural activities. I am very much interested in music and the music scene of Oxford is very varied and brings artists from all over the world all year around most of the days of the week. Many of the colleges organize classical concerts in their chapels allyear around. Pubs play also an important role in the development of the local art scene, there is always a performance happening somewhere. When I want a quiet time away from the busy city center, the riverside, with its hidden meadows and swimming spots, accessible within a walking distance from the city center, is for me the perfect getaway. I lived and visited many places around the world but Oxford remains my favorite. It has an organic and architectural beauty, I would say a mystical beauty that has a profound effect on me. I am more than happy to include relaxation or and meditation session anytime during my tour.

JK Rowling didn't study in Oxford and didn't write books in Oxford. However, Oxford was a great source of inspiration in creating the wizarding world of Hogwarts; Latin, the black gowns, the rivalries between houses and students crystallized by the relationship of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, the conflicts between muggles and wizards, the dedication of the teachers, the pride and sense of honor of the students toward their house are directly inspired by the history of the university of Oxford. This tour is a great opportunity to explore local folklore, mysticism, superstitious practices, and beliefs of Renaissance England. We will also learn how the philosopher's stone quest forever changed England and worldwide politics and destiny. Moreover, this tour emphasizes the powerful impact Harry Potter has in reminding us about our own magic and how magic connects us universally.
