We loved this tour on our first full day in London. I’m 50, my son is 14 and Grandma loved it too though she isn’t even a Potter fan. We got to see parts of the city we never would have and we had so much fun with the Potter and London trivia! Nick was an awesome tour guide! 😀
Our tour guide, Nic, was fantastic! Fun, informative, and very knowledgeable. He not only highlighted Harry Potter sites, but added in some other London history during the tour. Our two kids really loved it, and my husband and I did too! I highly recommend this tour and especially Nic as a guide.
It was super nice to walk around London following in the footsteps of Harry Potter, to discover / rediscover scenes. And Sophie was great, very energetic, not failing to share plenty of anecdotes with us about both the theme and English history.
Very beautiful tour with a Harry Potter theme in addition to the historical tour of London. Thank you Sophie for the beautiful tour
Sophie (aka Edna from the Indestrucibles) was a very nice french guide giving a lot of information!
A true must for Harry Potter and London fans. Entertaining and very interesting tour with casual stories. Big praise to Eva!
Was a nice tour of areas of London we hadn’t been to yet. Fun to see some of the locations used in the filing. Our tour guide was very engaging and kept giving us interesting facts along the way.
It was so fun! Really clever to sort everyone into the houses, ask questions throughout the tour and then see which house won the “house cup” (tour cup). Our tour guide Donatella did an amazing job! She was kind and funny. Thank you for this experience, it felt magical.
Our guide, Murray, was awesome! He was so knowledgeable and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. He gave us some non-HP related fun facts about the city as well. I am not a huge HP fan (booked it mainly for my daughter), but he even kept my interest. I appreciated the videos and photos shown on his iPad to better explain what we were seeing. Would definitely recommend!
I had a spare evening and love Harry Potter so wanted to do the tour. I was a solo participant and Louis made me very welcome.
