Charming Tour
Nik Longbottom was fantastic, kept us all on our toes with his knowledge and kept our very energetic 6 year old engaged and interested throughout. I have worked in the city for years but Nik showed us things that I didn’t know existed..magical experience, thank you Nik.

Brilliant tour with a brilliant guide!
In a word ‘BRILLIANT’! Not only the word from my and my husband but also from our HP mad 6 and 8 year old! It was their first trip to London and I totally worried that they wouldnt cope with the walking but they literally loved every minutes plus we got see some nooks and crannies of London we’ve not seen before. Joseph was engaging, attentive and surprising patient with a (slightly annoying!) 6 yr old. Loved it and the kids (and husband) have said they would do it again tomorrow. A definite 5 stars! Thank you Joseph.

Fabulous tour!
Had a fabulous afternoon with Joseph, who was very knowledgeable and entertaining during our Muggles Tour. Even if you’re not a huge Harry Potter fan, you’d still find this an interesting trip. Joseph is an HP superfan and knew his stuff inside out, making everyone laugh on the way. Would definitely recommend!

Brilliant!
Had the tour with Luke Lestrange today who was simply brilliant: funny, kind, competent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and also just took great care of us (assisted with tube tickets, considered a toilet break, took pictures, advised on more Harry Potter relevant places to visit further on our own, etc.)The tour is totally worth it, you are taken to multiple location where the scenes were filmes or JK had the inspiration, two last places are extremely instagrammable. Also you will pass such iconic sites as London Bridge, Big Ben and Trafalgar Square.

Fun and inspiring - great way for kids to experience London
We loved this. It is a great way for 10-16 year olds to tour London and take an interest. My daughter was so taken by JK Rowling’s local imagination inspiration that she bought paper and pen and started writing herself. That’s a gift in itself, isn’t it?

Great fun way to discover more of London
For people who thought they knew London this was a great way to see familiar and new sights through the eyes of Harry Potter. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just an interested muggle you will find lots of hidden gems brought to life by your guide. Our guide Nick was enthusiastic and interesting and knew his stuff. He made the areas come to life and we found little lanes we have never seen before. Fab morning. Highly recommended.

A must for Muggles!
My 10yr old daughter loved this tour! Luke Le Strange had great enthusiasm and energy which made it interesting, fun and kept us all engaged. Luke told many facts that even my HP super geek daughter didn’t know! We took the quick journey to Kings Cross afterwards to get the obligatory platform 9 3/4 photo which is not covered on this tour. Highly recommended for Harry Potter fans of all ages.

Visited a number of interesting locations in London related to Harry Potter books
A great way to get to know different areas of London. Our guide was energetic and knowledgeable, not only about the books and films, but also about the history of the locations we visited. She said she was a member of the Tonks family :D The tour is fun for all ages, I'm 70 and wasn't the only older person there. Had great fun witnessing the enthusiasm of the younger ones. Well-organized and punctual.

Amazing magical alternative London
My 8 year old was spellbound! We had an awesome guide in Miss Delacour whose HP knowledge was seriously impressive and was very indulgent of my Potterhead lad. Delightful mix of fun facts, quizzes, and scene recreation opportunities along the way. A very personalised guided walk - highly recommend.

Excellent Tour!
My husband and I are both HP fans and did this tour for his birthday. Our guide was Beth Tonks, and she was not only a great, enthusiastic tour guide, but so genuinely nice and great to talk to about the city in general. The tour hits some cool filming sites and sites of inspiration, but even better than the sites was the game of HP trivia we played (“House Cup”) and all the fun facts we learned. We did the evening (6:30) tour, and I was originally nervous about it being too dark to see anything. This was not the case at all and it actually added to the atmosphere of the tour. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic!
Luke Lestrange was our tour and he was fab, as the tour was! We really enjoyed visiting all the different locations in London where parts of the HP movies were filmed or that were inspirational to the styling of the films.Would highly recommend as a great way to see different parts of London too. 👍😁

My Potter-Head Kids Loved Every Minute

Mar 2017 • Family

Fun walking tour that I would recommend for your own Potter Heads. Our guide, a female Slytherin from the Netherlands, was energetic, engaging and lots of fun. My girls loved the trivia quizzes along the way. I liked that she had loads of actual literary insight as well as the celeb stuff. She was a Lord of the Rings fan too, which my girls appreciated. (Also, as we saw a huge HP crowd being by another tour, it was obvious that a size limited tour is well worth it.)

Harry Potter lovers, this is the perfect way to see London!

Mar 2017 • Couples

Super duper fun way for Harry Potter fans, or anyone really, to see London!! Alex the Hufflepuff was so much fun as he took us around all the amazing places used in the HP films and some of JK Rowling's inspirations! The whole tour was very entertaining. My only disappointment was we went on a Sunday and the Burrows market was closed, so if that's a must for you, go on another day ;)

We had a great time! Thank you, Alex!

Entertaining way to see London!

Mar 2017 • Family

My family of four just took our Muggle Tour with Alex and really enjoyed ourselves. Admittedly, my two children (8 and 4) who have not read the books or seen the movies, weren't as entertained as I was, but they were still able to keep up and enjoy the different sights around London.

Alex was hilarious, energetic and entertaining. We enjoyed the other London movie trivia that was thrown in as well. Of course, after our tour, we rewatched some of the movies on our flight back and got a great kick out of seeing the spots we visited on our Muggle Tour. My husband is not a huge Potter fan, but still had a good time!

It's so reasonably priced and you'll get a taste of the different parts of London. We wish we had more time in Borough Market. Agree with the other reviewers that you should allot some time to explore Borough Market.

Thank you for offering this very special tour!

Fun! Engaging! Amazing!

Mar 2017 • Family

Our tour guide Scott Potter was hilarious and engaging from the moment he arrived. (Also struck an uncanny resemblance to Dan Radcliffe! We kept thinking it was maybe him, but Scott was wittier!!) Although we had 18 people on the tour, Scott kept us all together and addressed each of us, asking questions, stopping to talk, showing screenshots from the movies to compare to the sights we passed.
At one point we had a quick 5 minute break for coffee/pint before we proceeded - everyone dispersed then reassembled quickly as nobody wanted to miss a thing! Fun sorting hat exercise passed the time on the quick Tube ride.

Great for Harry Potter fans or even those who are not big fans. We had 2 of each in our group and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tour of London facts as well as lots of HP facts!
Wear comfy shoes - lots of walking. Also be sure to check out the Borough Market before you head out - especially if its on a Saturday. We walked through as a group but we had gone beforehand and lingered,
Amazing tour, guide, and city!

John was a wonderfully energetic tour guide and provided us with all the knowledge of the Harry Potter world we could wish for and more. This was achieved in such an engaging manner and I would recommend this to anyone with interest in the wizarding world.

Excellent tour

Mar 2017 • Friends

Really enjoyed this walking tour which took in some filming locations as well as other places which acted as inspiration for sets created in the studios. Our guide was Scott Potter and despite already having done a morning tour, he remained enthusiastic and took time to ensure the participants were enjoying the tour. He was very knowledgeable and his engaging personality added to our enjoyment. His marked resemblance to Daniel Radcliffe certainly drew attention to our party as we walked through London ! If you have a few hours spare whilst in London this tour is an ideal way to spend some time. Great for dedicated Harry Potter fans but also an interesting way to see some London landmarks for others less keen on the wizarding world. Thanks for a great afternoon Scott.

Fun and factual!

Mar 2017 • Couples

We had Ellie as our guide and she was simply brilliant! Super energetic and engaging. Keeping the tour going on the tube with trivia really helped the pace feel uninterrupted. She was also very easy to talk to and struck up conversations in between stops. Good news for the not-so-Potterheads, Ellie was very cognizant of the obscurity of some facts and brought people up to speed without making anyone feel ignorant. She even performed a lovely feat of true alchemy for us! We had wonderful weather and the pace was manageable and pleasant. Overall a must-do for anyone interested in the world of Harry Potter from die-hard fans to casual film watchers.

Mar 2017 • Family

Ellie was a fantastic host/ guide for our tour of Harry Potter movie and inspiration sites. We took there advice and went to the Borough Market before which was a great suggestion. Fun seeing places we never would have found ourselves. Ellie was excentric and fun the kids were kept engaged the whole tour. Thanks

Entertaining for all

Feb 2017 • Family

We booked this tour to coincide with a trip to the Warner brothers studios and without taking away from the uniqueness of the studio trip its fair to say the tour for Muggles was by far the more engaging experience. Greta Granger brought the area to life with lots of anecdotes and information and kept kids and grown ups alike interested, plus we managed lots of sightseeing as she knew exactly where to take us to make the most of the time we had. The magic tricks were an unexpected extra! I'd highly recommend if you're a Harry Potter fan, great fun and good value too.
