Good experience with Simon who shared not only Harry Potter locations but gave brief information of the landmarks along the journey. Good and informative tour.

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide, Max, was exceptional, fun, and delightful. He explained the scenes filmed at various locations thoroughly, and in between locations he gave us great insight into historical London landmarks and history. We were also supplied with a receiver and headphone so we can all hear the guide easily without him having to yell at us and over traffic It’s worth the money for sure. Only thing I advise is to get an oyster card to travel the tube because we take it a few times throughout the tour, and we also took it to get their and get home.

We walked through the light rain and went to all the important sites & locations through Westminster and London. Simon was a wonderful host and tour guide. He’s full of knowledge and gave a lot of pearls and anecdotes the buildings in the architecture. He seems to be a master linguistic and knew etymology of a lot of the phrases that we are accustomed to.

Meghan was a fantastic guide as we strolled and explored London, she expertly pointed out filming locations for the Harry Potter movies. Her expansive knowledge of the movies made the experience extra special. She was very accommodating for our photos. As we walked she also indicated other iconic London landmarks and historic sites. She took us to some of the inspirational areas near where JK Rowlings worked. The pace was perfect for us and 3 hours just flew by! Meghan was entertaining and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed spending the morning with her. We loved it!
