A very nice experience, with a super nice guide (Geeb Loove goods). Explained it with the necessary gestures, and sounds. Involved us in the tour by asking us questions, and giving a loud applause to a good answer. A super enthusiastic guide who does her job with a lot of passion. Highly recommended.
Timing the dinner with the visit is crucial. We did not realize that it only takes about an hour to ninety minutes tops to go through the displays. We would have had to wait two hours for our dinner time slot.
Nic was wonderful! A great mix of humor and history with a lot of context for even those with little Potter knowledge!
Great experience for adults and kids alike. Our tour guide, Murray, did a great job. He was interesting, informative and funny. Definitely recommend this tour!
Fun tour of London along filming locations Harry Potter. Family tour done in English. And thanks to guide Murray, who knows London like the back of his hand, had a very nice experience.
We enjoyed our walkabout very much. Found ourselves returning on our own to some highlights we would have missed had it not been for Louis.
Louis was awesome. Patient, organized and very knowledgeable. HP quiz through during the walk were fun. Also pointing other London landmarks was appreciated.
We had a fantastic time traveling all over London with Oliver, our wonderfully cheerful, friendly, sweet and humorous tour guide! We learned so much on the tour about where Harry Potter filmed certain scenes and how to recreate some iconic photos from movie stills. Lots of separate fun facts about London history too! We highly recommend this tour! Loads of fun.
We had a really great Harry Potter tour with Eva! 😊 She was super nice and made the tour fun and full of exciting information. Everything was perfectly organized and we felt comfortable the whole time. Thank you, Eva, for the great tour – we would do it again anytime and can absolutely recommend it!
Nice little walking tour of HP filming locations and architectural inspirations for the set design. Fun facts peppered throughout. Guide Louis was excellent!
