Entertaining and knowledgeable guide. Great fun.Definitely a Harry Potter devotee! Fascinating to have more insight into the making of the films and their complexity. Many interesting locations and winding alleyways. A great way to see the other side of hidden London.

Con Weasley was an excellent tour guide! I would recommend any harry potter fans to check out this tour, even if you arent a die hard potter know it all it was interesting to walk around the city and see filming locations. The commentary was cute and whimsical and made the mood very light. It was a great afternoon!

A Wizz of a Tour

This was a great family experience. Highly recommend. Harry Trotter was very entertaining and informative not only about the Harry Potter franchise but gave lots of interesting information about others locations around London.

Fun tour, but...!

Vicky_B, Apr 2026
The tour was fun overall, the guide's voice projected well, and his manner and style were fun. His pace was quite quick however, and I found it hard to keep up even though I've been walking 10K+ steps a day lately. Towards the end, I was tiring and he was zooming--we came to an intersection with several possible turns and he and the small group totally disappeared before I could round the corner. Having no idea where to go, I stayed put thinking he would backtrack a bit to find me, but he never did. When the tour time was over, I gave up and asked locals for help with directions and headed home.

A Muggle Success!

This was one of my favorite walking tours! Our guide, Connor "Con Weasley" was super engaging and even got my skeptical son on board with Harry Potter trivia. We also stopped by a number of historical sites along the way. Highly recommended for a fun, informative time.

Harry T was an excellent and funny guide. He kept both adults and kids engaged. The walk was a good pace and he gave attention to areas I would have certainly missed. Even if certain members are not big HP fans, Harry’s history of London kept everyone entertained.

The tour guide (Harry Plotter) was very funny and made jokes on the spot. He made everybody feel included, especially the younger members. We learned a lot of fun facts about the movie and JK Rowling and the interconnectedness of British writers.

It was great! Our tour guide Conner was good and informative . This tour was not only sites pointed out from the movie, but a good London tour. It took us to places we would not have gone if not for this tour. Highly recommend !

Entertainment at its best

Marcia_M, Mar 2026
Harry T was an outstanding guide into Harry P’s world within London. His knowledge of all things Harry Potter, coupled with his entertaining delivery of fun facts and stories made for a fantastic 3 hours for me and my HP fan adult daughter. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Harry T!

Fun Harry Potter/Historical London Tour

Neera_J, Feb 2026
Fun tour. The weather was dreadful but we ended up being the only ones on the tour. We saw many things and heard lots of stories that we had not seen/heard before after several trips to London. Our guide was very welcoming and entertaining. Our son had a great time as well.

Best Tour Guide EVER!

Alex_S, Feb 2026
Harry was a wonderful guide who my kids (5, 7, 9, 11) absolutely loved learning from! Harry was very personable and was able to make each guest on the tour feel important from 5 to 55. My younger two children have never read or watched Harry Potter and still had a wonderful time! 1000/10 recommend!

Really great tour mixing...
