Alex was enthusiastic, funny, entertaining and very knowledgeable about both Harry Potter and London in general.
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.
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 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!!
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.
Really enjoyed the tour. It’s a must do for Harry Potter fans. Highly recommend it for Potter Heads.
Great guide made the tour good fun with lots to see walking around London at nice pace giving lots of photo opportunities
Harry was simply awesome at being our tour guide. He made the adventure more than the sites did. Thanks again Harry!!!!
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.
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!!
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 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.
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!
Alex was a great guide and storyteller. He was amazing at keeping the kids engaged and the adults were hanging on his every word, too!
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.
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.
Very knowledgeable guide, and the team is very helpful to support me solving all the issues I had regarding my booking
Harry was an amazing tour guide , funny and informative. would recommend to people who are in to Harry Potter and even those who arnt. I was with 3 other friends who arnt big into Harry potter and they really enjoyed it as well
Great tour guide, "Harry Trotter" :D Exuberant and hard working, he had all of us laughing and kept things interesting throughout the tour!
The guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He took the time to make sure everyone had a great time.
The tour was entertaining and the guide was knowledgeable and fun to interact with, start and stop points had nice places to eat and see, too.
Alex was an excellent guide who shared a wealth of insight and knowledge about Harry Potter filming. He was respectful of the group’s needs and made sure everyone had an enjoyable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend him.
Very informative funny and entertaining. My daughter and I really loved seeing the film photos and comparing it to the real location.
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!
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!
Loads of fun. Come with you knowledge if Harry Potter and comfortable walking shoes. Great guides!!!
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!
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.
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.
