Very informative funny and entertaining. My daughter and I really loved seeing the film photos and comparing it to the real location.
Robert_N, Jul 2026
We loved how "Harry Trotter" intermixed history and current information into the tour as well as the links between London and Harry Potter. Our guide also told stories in a very dramatic and entertaining fashion. It was really a lot of fun!
Maura_B, Jun 2026
It was a great tour. Our tour guide was very fun and engaging! Lots of fun facts learned not just about Harry Potter, but about London on this tour! It is definitely a lot of walking at a fast pace, but totally worth it!
Martha_B, Jun 2026

Kelsey_C, Jun 2026
This tour was SO. MUCH. FUN!!!! Our guide, “Harry Trotter” as he introduced himself, kept us laughing the entire time, was extremely knowledgeable about Harry Potter and London history, and kept us engaged with trivia, fun facts, and dissecting with us the funny differences between the UK and the United States 😅 He also made sure we were drinking water and staying in the shade as much as we could on that very hot day!

We visited the filming locations of the Leaky Cauldron, Millennium Bridge that the death eaters destroyed in Half-Blood Prince, St. Paul’s Cathedral (the outside) which was the filming location for the astronomy tower stairs, and several other sites that inspired parts of the Harry Potter story that also connected with London’s history.

I would highly recommend this tour for any Harry Potter lover, though our guide did say that sometimes people who have never read the books or seen the films come on the tour and they have a great time as well haha! Also very good price for the quality of the tour in my opinion!
Megan_J, Jun 2026
This was an amazing experience. Our guide had a wonderful personality, making it very engaging and fun and I love and appreciate how much history was included. Excellent tour and would definitely recommend them.
Richard_P, Jun 2026
Extensive walking. We are in our 70’s. While in good health, we got a bit tired by the end of tour. Maybe a rest stop of 5-10 minutes in the middle would help. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Emily_T, Jun 2026
Great tour of the Harry Potter landmarks and more - will walk for a bit but worth it to see all the alleys that influenced the books
Catherine_S, Jun 2026
A fun little tour with lots of tidbits of history about London as well as the movie locations and places that inspired the books. There were some stops on the itinerary that we didn’t see and were not mentioned, though our tour ended early. Other than that it was a nice tour.
Kelly_F, Jun 2026
Callum was great. He interacted with the kids on the tour in a great way. This tour is better for families with kiddos.
Amber_M, Jun 2026
Alex Scamander was fantastic fun for our whole family! We enjoyed the Harry Potter connections and scenic tour of London. Great way to see a lot with limited time.
Jenny_T, Jun 2026
My daughter and I booked this last minute and are so glad we did. Our tour guide Alex Scamander was excellent, very engaging and clearly spoken. A very in depth tour of London, places you would not know even existed. Walking through London was a trip down memory lane for me. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Jeebs Lovegood was an excellent tour guide! Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a great time-kids (aged 24, 21, 19) were engaged and loved the connections she made with Harrry Potter and the London landscape.
Michael_S, Jun 2026
The tour was amazing! Our guide geebs lovegood, couldn't have had a better name, was so knowledgeable and asked trivia questions regarding the books and movies all the way thru the tour, and that kept it really interesting. The sites that we visited some were actually used in the films and some used just for inspiration for the films and books. Overall would recommend to anyone who has seen the movies.
Thomas_P, May 2026
Alex Skemander was so fun and knowledgeable. We had a blast and learned some cool Harry Potter info and London history as well.
Joana_C, May 2026
Harry was a fantastic tour guide and kept the energy going throughout the tour! You get to see/learn about quite a few key spots around London and get a nice walk/historical context as well. Comfortable shoes are a must!
Claudia_G, May 2026
Harry was an amazing guide! If you love Harry Potter, this tour with Harry is an absolute must!! He’s engaging, fun and gave us insider fun facts on the filming of the Harry Potter movies.
Elizabeth_R, May 2026
Alex Scamander is a fantastic guide! He is enthusiastic and has a great voice; you will have no problem hearing him. He is a wealth of knowledge regarding all things Harry Potter, and also points out interesting London facts along the way.
Tiffanie_M, May 2026
Great and informative tour with Calum, Professor MaGonagall’s descendant :) He was very kind and accommodating.
Charles_R, May 2026
Our guide Harry "Trotter" (not really his last name) led us on a facinating journey through town. We started in one market place and ended in another (which was convenient for snacking before and after the tour). Harry really knew his stuff, and got us very involved with discussions that tested our memory of the books and films. He also related a lot of information that was not well known about the cast, the making of the movies, and the history and significance of the areas that we visited. We were enthralled with his detailed knowledge and also his enthusiasm (which was contageous).
Joseph_M, May 2026
Our guide was awesome, so passionate about Harry Potter. We enjoyed the walk and places that the movies took place.
Jennifer_D, May 2026
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.
Peta_G, May 2026
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.
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.
Roy_W, Apr 2026
Geebs was awesome!! Very knowledgable, friendly and the tour was great! You do not need to know a tone about Harry Potter to learn a lot from this experience.
