This was a really fun tour! Lots of interesting facts about Harry Potter and some other snippets of London trivia. The pace is nice and easy with frequent stops. Our tour guide (Harry Trotter) was great fun and very knowledgeable. A lovely way to see a bit of London!

Fantastic experience! ...

Fantastic experience! Highly recommend. Harry Trotter was the ultimate tour guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Don't miss!

Very cool tour with...

Beck_B, Sep 2026
Very cool tour with 'Jake-o Malfoy' he was awesome and made the tour so much fun! The time flew by and wished it went for another 2hrs! My mum doesnt know Harry Potter but did the tour just to do it with us - and she looooooved it! Not only is it super cool Harry Potter things, you also see and learn all about differnet parts of London you may not have seen on your own - the little lanes and alleys we walked down were the best and we definitely would never had come across them without doing this tour! We had our 3 teens and they loved it as well...definitely worth doing while you're in London!

Amazing tour

Connie_B, Sep 2026
This tour was so much fun and our tour guide “Harry Trotter” was amazing!! He was hilarious and did a great job interacting with everyone. I would absolutely recommend this tour to others!

Great and interesting tour

Patty_C, Sep 2026
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.

Lots of sights!

Jasmine_Z, Sep 2026
This is basically a walking tour of London, but with Harry Potter facts. I absolutely loved it. I got a lot of amazing pictures. It is kind of a long walk, which I liked, but fair warning to other people. Our guide was super nice, funny and knowledgeable. I was debating between this and a food tour. This tour was perfect because it started and ended in two different markets, and I did my own food tour as well afterwards.

Harry Potter fans, Do not miss this tour!

Cindy_F, Sep 2026
This was a great way to learn about this beautiful part of London while seeing the sights that inspired JK Rowling to write the books! Lots of locations to recognize with trivia and interesting facts along the way! Perfect for adults and children who are comfortable walking a long distance for a few hours. HARRY TROTTER was an amazing tour guide. Witty, charming and knowledgeable, all the things that you want in a great tour guide!! It’s a must for Harry Potter fans.

A magical morning

Christine_C, Sep 2026
Alex was enthusiastic, funny, entertaining and very knowledgeable about both Harry Potter and London in general.

London Muggle Tour

Samantha_G, Sep 2026
This was such a fun tour. Harry Trotter was a delight and very knowledgeable. We learned about the HP books & films as well as London itself.

Safety over Fun

Twyla_C, Sep 2026
Got to see a few cool sights and a handful of facts but tour guide seemed to be more concerned with telling people to stay together and watch her than making it fun and Harry Potter magical

Our daughter is a Harry...

Robert_R, Sep 2026
Our daughter is a Harry Potter fanatic, which required us to include this Muggles tour during our London vacation. Harry Trotter (our tour guide) was quite entertaining and informative, and included London history beyond the world of Harry Potter. He made the experience very interactive, and made it a point to include everyone in the group. Bravo Henry!!

Fun tour for families!

Carrie_P, Aug 2026
We had a great time on this tour! We are a family of four with two kids ages 7 & 10, who both enjoyed it. The tour guide was fun, friendly, talkative, interactive and everyone on the tour was engaged.

Potter fans must do

Steve_R, Aug 2026
Really enjoyed the tour. It’s a must do for Harry Potter fans. Highly recommend it for Potter Heads.

Harry was simply awesome...

Jeremy_B, Aug 2026
Harry was simply awesome at being our tour guide. He made the adventure more than the sites did. Thanks again Harry!!!!

A Must for Harry Potter Fans!!!

Rasheda_J, Aug 2026
Our tour guide Grebes was awesome and made the tour fun with trivia and bubbly personality!!! The tour brought back wonderful memories of revisiting the Harry Potter movies and books. If you are a fan you will definitely love it. And even if you are not a fan, you learn so much of the hidden gems of London and how all things lead back to Harry Potter.

Harry Potter fans say 10/10 stars!

DANGELIQUE_G, Aug 2026
Even if you know a lot about Harry Potter, you can learn something new on this tour. And casual fans will enjoy this tour as well. Our tour guide, Alex, clearly loved the books, the movies, and his job. He kept things fun and interesting the whole time. It is a lot of walking, wear good shoes and have water with you. Definitely recommend this tour, super fun!!

SKIP this one!

lindsayiadevaia, Aug 2026
It was very boring g and NOT worth the time or money. It is very easy to see Leadenhall Market and the “Leaky Cauldron” Door- no need for a tour. I usually enjoy Viator tours but this was extremely underwhelming.

It was a whimsical...

Shaun_B, Aug 2026
It was a whimsical journey well worth your time! Alex Scamander provided an amazing tour through the streets of London! He appropriately referenced many areas Harry Potter was either filmed at or inspired by.

“Harry Trotter” was a fun guide. He included so much more than just Harry Potter sites. It was well timed with lots of witty commentary.

Our tour guide Harry Trotter was fun and engaging and he managed to get us through the tour despite the heat! We saw many sites, alleyways and learned interesting tidbits and facts about historic London and Harry Potter movie making.

Great Muggles Tour

Cherie_L, Jul 2026
Our tour guide was wonderful. So animated and engaging. There was a difficult pedestrian that started yelling at us when he could join the tour and our guide handled it with class.
