Tour for Muggles The Ultimate Harry Potter Walking Tour in London

Patty_C, Sep 2026

Great and interesting tour

Harry did a fantastic job. He not only told us interesting tidbits about Harry Potter (posing a question to see if anyone in the group knew the answer). Congratulating correct answers and giving the answers if we were stumped. Also, as we walked around parts of London, he pointed out Harry Potter locations and took us down small alleys that we would not have discovered on our own. My husband and I would highly recommend this tour.

London in a Day: Tower of London, Westminster & River Cruise

Wendy_R, Sep 2026

Best tour guide I’ve ever had

Ask for Alexander Hetherington. He was the best guy I have ever had on any tour absolutely. We went in Westminster. The history was wonderful. You can take pictures. We walk through Saint James Park stopped and had a coffee had a wonderful lunch in Trafalgar Square. Alex was just a vast volume of knowledge. I got very sick in the afternoon and had to give up part of our tour and he was wonderful and attentive, and found a place to rest and came back and checked on me.

Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Buckingham Guided Tour of London

Maria_R, Sep 2026

Best Tour/Guide Ever!

We have been on many tours like this all over the world. This was the best we have experienced. Our guide, Dan, was brilliant, he knew all about the many sites we visited and conveyed mountains of information (history, architecture, art, commerce, social structures, restaurant recommendations) to us in a friendly, very easy to understand manner. He kept us engaged as we walked miles around the area, including a very thorough tour of Westminster Abbey. The only downside is that guides on future tours we take will not be as good as Dan.

Winston Churchill & London in World War II Walking Tour

Jennifer_K, Sep 2026

**Absolutely fantastic tour!**

This was easily one of the highlights of our time in London. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history, and brought the stories of **Winston Churchill, World War II, and London during the war** to life in a way that was fascinating from beginning to end. We’ve visited London many times, but this tour gave us an entirely new perspective on places we had walked past before. The combination of the **war memorials, Churchill history, personal stories, and historical context** made everything so much more meaningful. We learned a tremendous amount without the tour ever feeling like a history lecture. The pacing was excellent, the stories were memorable, and our guide was wonderful at answering questions and keeping everyone engaged. Even the teenagers in our family really enjoyed it! **If you love history—or simply want to understand London and its role during WWII on a deeper level—I cannot recommend this tour enough. A must-do in London! 🇬🇧**

Buckingham Palace Entrance Ticket & British Royalty Guided Tour

Roy_F, Sep 2026

Great Tour of Buckingham Palace

Our guide Chelsey did a wonderful job showing us the sights around Buckingham Palace. She was very knowledgeable and told us several good stories about the kings and queens of England. She made the characters of English history real people with all their good and bad traits. Once we reached the palace she had to leave us and we toured the interior on our own with an audio device. We would recommend this tour. When you book ask for Chelsey.

London Sightseeing Private Black Cab Tour with Hotel Pick Up

Roy_F, Sep 2026

Clifford is the Greatest.

Clifford was the best driver/tour guide we could have asked for. He was considerate of my wife's mobility issues and was always there at the cab door to help her in and out of the cab. He showed us sights in London we never would have seen on our own. His knowledge of London is superior. He was entertaining and knowledgeable about London and its history. He extended the tour by almost an hour because he wanted to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see. If you're going to do a Black Cab tour of London, ask for Clifford. You will not regret it.

London: The Original Classic Rock & Beatles Tour

Ronald_H, Jul 2026

Fantastic and fun tour!

Our tour guide Ian Luck was absolutely brilliant and our driver Jack was safe and efficient! Ian knows so much about music and the music places in and around London. He took care of us at the Abbey Road crosswalk, was informative, and handed out little memorabilia to show and keep. You get more than your money's worth!
