We had a fantastic time on this Harry Potter filming locations tour! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about both the films and the history of the locations we visited. It was clear they were passionate about the subject, which made the experience even more engaging. The tour included a great variety of filming locations, giving us the chance to see many of the places that brought the Harry Potter movies to life. Each stop was interesting and well chosen, with plenty of behind-the-scenes stories and details that we wouldn't have known otherwise. What really stood out was how attentive and helpful our guide was throughout the tour. They made sure everyone in the group was comfortable, answered questions patiently, and accommodated everyone's needs, creating a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all. One thing to keep in mind is that there is quite a lot of walking involved, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and come prepared. It's well worth it, as you'll get to see so many fantastic locations along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to any Harry Potter fan or anyone looking for an informative and entertaining way to explore the city!
Great tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. Showing us the movie clips to match the location made the tour far more meaningful. He also gave some London site history as we walked by sites. Recommend! But wear good walking shoes and bring your water.
It was a great and informative tour!! A must for Harry Potter fans! The tour guide brought passion and made the experience that much better.
Absolutely amazing tour! It was an absolute joy and we didn’t even realize how far we were walking because the guide was so engaging!
It was a lot of walking but it was so much fun and we learned a lot more about where Harry Potter was filmed.
This was an amazing tour. Our guide showed us so much about where scenes were filmed and where inspiration came from. He also taught me how to use the tube. Overall great small group tour that showed me so much about London and the world of Harry Potter.
This was a wonderful tour that took us into back alleys, little streets and markets that were scenes in the Harry Potter movies. We never would have found these on our own. Our guide did a fabulous job of pointing out and providing historical facts about other landmarks we passed. This is a three walking tour with a couple of underground rides thrown in. You must be able to walk on uneven sidewalks and do stairs. Wear very comfortable walking shoes and take water to hydrate along the way. There is an opportunity to shop in the beginning of the tour for Harry Potter souvenirs.
Best HP Tour in London, hands down!
We had an absolutely fabulous Harry Potter tour in London! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and made the entire experience come alive. At each stop, he showed us scenes from the movies on his iPad along with behind-the-scenes photos, allowing us to compare the real locations to what appeared on screen. His attention to detail and passion for Harry Potter made the tour both entertaining and informative. Whether you’re a lifelong Harry Potter fan or just enjoy learning about movie-making, this tour is a must-do. Seeing the iconic locations throughout London while hearing the stories behind them was such a fun experience. We loved every minute of it and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London!
This was a great experience for the ultimate Potter fan! Guide is very knowledgeable about the sights as well as the actors. He pulls up video of the exact scenes and offers to take photos of you in the same poses at the sights. Super fun time. Don't miss out!
