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.
Jana_M, Mar 2026
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.
Christina_K, Mar 2026
We did this tour immediately after landing in London. It was a fantastic outside tour where we got exercise and air and great information! And I had a 17 and 15 yr old on the tour.
Kimberly_S, Mar 2026
Conner was very knowledgeable and fun - a situation popped up and he handled it quickly and with some humor to make it less stressful he had a great speaking voice and made himself available to all on the tour
Martyn_F, Mar 2026
Harry was super and really made the tour so good. Make sure you book this tour as it is worth it !!!
Carol_G, Mar 2026
Great tour. Knowledgeable guide. Lots of Harry Potter movie trivia as well as other London nerdy info. Fun.
Anja_S, Mar 2026
Alex Scamander was a great host and guide through the city today! Answered questions thoroughly and brought the Potter world to life for us all.
Judy_W, Mar 2026
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 !
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!
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.
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!
Jack_E, Feb 2026
Really great tour mixing HP lore with general history plus great London sightseeing. Guide was entertaining and generally fantastic.
LARISSA_L, Feb 2026
Great for Harry Potter fans! The kids loved it. We visited places we never would have known of otherwise. Recommended!
Rubina_B, Feb 2026
Very knowledgeable not just about Harry Potter but about other writers and in general about history of London! Made the entire tour very engaging and interesting.
It was really nice working with this company. I had an issue with my flight and they were so accommodating!
Highly recommend them.
Juliet_D, Feb 2026
Our tour guide “Harry” was fantastic… it was one of the highlights of our trip to London… we now see some of the London sights in a different light! I would highly recommend this tour, my only advise would be to revisit the shows before the tour to better appreciate… thank you
Katie_G, Feb 2026
Alex gave us such a good tour and really knew his Harry Potter! He was extremely charismatic, funny, and so knowledgeable. The Harry Potter facts he knew were awesome and some were so niche I feel like I need to reread the books and rewatch the movies! His personality really made the tour special, and we had such a great time walking London with him. We would absolutely book with Alex again, both he and this tour were phenomenal!
Rick_C, Jan 2026
Tour guide was great. Funny and Entertaining. Lots of tidbits and factoids about JK Rowling and other interesting non Harry Potter information.
Rosa_V, Jan 2026
This tour was really good. My family and I enjoyed it very much. If you are a Harry Potter fan, you have to do it. Plus, we learn a little bit of history along the way.
Tess_T, Jan 2026
If i could give it 6 stars I would. Harry, (yes real name) was amazing and engaging. My teens had a blast. Highly recommend.
David_B, Jan 2026
The guide was energetic, welcoming, and humorous. A few stops were genuinely interesting (especially the beginning) although the rest felt a bit loose.
Jenny_M, Jan 2026
Our tour guide Harry brought the energy and made the tour enjoyable and engaging with fun facts and random quizzes! Thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour and would recommend for people with kids or solo travelers wanting to learn more about Harry Potter!
jennifer_m, Jan 2026
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and lively, not only about Harry Potter but London history as well. Beautiful walk of the City.
Romy_R, Dec 2025
Harry was a great and engaging tour guide ! Was informative about both Harry Potter and a bit of London history as well
Faisal_A, Dec 2025
Very knowledgeable and explained in an entertaining and funny way.
I missed the first half an hour or so due to transport issues and was explained that period very well when the tour ended
David_M, Dec 2025
Harry was wonderful! Very fun, lots of cool facts, and much walking! Really cool seeing the inspiration for some of the movie sets
Martin_C, Dec 2025
Great experience, Alex, our guide, was fun, friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a great time and learnt a lot not only about Harry Potter but about London.
Nestle_C, Dec 2025
Our guide arrived on time and was friendly and engaging throughout the tour. She was very knowledgeable about the Harry Potter universe and impressed us by mimicking the voices of some of the movie characters. The house cup point system was a fun and interactive element that added to the experience.
To help manage expectations, the tour is very fast-paced. The guide did say that we could take photos and simply follow her afterward, so technically there was time to take pictures. However, while photo stops were allowed, it was clear that the guide did not want to take photos for the group. Because of the brisk pace, there was barely enough time to pose properly before needing to move on.
The walk itself is quite long, and the pace may not be suitable for seniors or those who prefer a more relaxed tour. At times, the guide moved ahead quickly and did not always check whether everyone was still following.
Overall, this tour is enjoyable and informative for energetic Harry Potter fans who don’t mind a quick pace, but it may not be ideal if you’re hoping for guided group photos or a slower, more leisurely experience.
Maria_V, Dec 2025
More specific Harry Potter locations would be nice. But we appreciated the opportunities to stop and use the bathroom.
Mia_R, Dec 2025
Such a great experience! Our guide was great and funny and we learned a lot of new things about Harry Potter!
Eyal_K, Dec 2025
This excursion was very interesting and fun. Our guide, Con Weasley, made it unforgettable. Besides the Harry Potter–related things, we also learned other interesting facts about the city. We strongly recommend it, and give 5 stars to the guide!
