Our tour guide Anaia was super.... Why do all reviews have to have a certain number of characters? This could be changed for the future.

Good interaction with the tour guide showed us the location and linked it to the HP films, good value for money, walked lots but it was enjoyable. Tour guide was called Pearla and we thoroughly enjoyed her obsession with the films and the quick quiz's she gave

The magical world of Harry Potter

Once you meet up with your friendly and efficient guide outside the Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, and are joined by the rest of your tour group, the game will be afoot! First and foremost, you will find out which house you belong in, and after providing you with a brief introduction, you will make your way to the many different locations on your itinerary. Throughout your tour, your guide will be providing you with interesting commentary and tidbits from the movies but also interesting facts about locations you pass and if they have any connections to pop culture or movies aside from Harry Potter.
