Gregory was fantastic - lovely to talk to about all things Harry Potter.
I went on a Harry Potter tour with my 2 children, 10 and 8years old.. Firstly very much happy that I paid £12 and my kids were free. It's very hard to find affordable things to do with kids nowadays. The number of facts I learnt today, make me want to watch the series again!!! The length of the visit was reasonable and well paced. We had issues with finding toilets in the break but still all was well. I have never done this much travelling as a Londoner in London! So we'll done for planning and organising it and keeping up with me and my kids 😊. From booking, all the way to going on the walking tour, staff has been brilliant. Keeping us updated, wanted to reschedule and they were kind. Money well spent! Crowd size was reasonable enough for me to ask questions without feeling shy. The atmosphere was alright: I met people from Spain and Bulgaria. Very well organised tour!
The overall experience was good. Yasmin our guide was particularly warm, enthusiastic and good and went beyond the pure scope of the tour to give us interesting inputs.
The tour was very well organized, and our guide was especially friendly and knowledgeable. She shared not only fascinating information about Harry Potter but also some historical facts about London.
We did the tour for my partner as she is the Harry Potter fan, however I also enjoyed it as it included information on how they filmed in locations, places that inspired film locations and scenes as well as a bit of history of the locations we visited. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable and tour had a relaxed feel.
We've met our tour guide Yasmin at the meeting point and the tour started right away. Straight from the start Yasmin was very enthusiastic. You could definitely tell she was a harry potter fan as well. She really made sure the group stayed together and had nice personal talks with everyone. She had a lot of attention for the kids in our group and adjusted her talk to the group's needs. There were a lot of fun facts to be told and she took all the time everyone needed to take pictures and ask questions. On top of all the harry potter knowledge she also shared a lot about other landmarks and fun facts about other things we's see on the tour. She also gave a lot of good tips to us for the rest of our stay in london. We would definitely recommend this tour to others and for all ages. Well done!
The tour guide was amazing! The walk was about 2.5 hours but with a break which was great for the kids.
It was easy to find the group at the meeting point. Greg was very welcoming and attentive to all of the participants. We learned interesting facts and enjoyed visiting all of the locations. I highly recommend this tour.
Interesting tour of Harry Potter sights of London. Naomi took time to explain and look after us on a hot day.
Tour was uneventful, a little boring. The guide was not knowledgeable in Harry potter trivia or in London/historic trivia. The guide even admitted he hasn't read all the books, just seen the movies. It was obvious that he simply memorized some facts that are relevant on the tour. There was very little additional info.
