Our guide (Bethany) was great, patient, fun and knowledgeable. An experience that we adults and even the little ones really enjoyed!

very nice tour guide, told a lot, unfortunately the locations were relatively boring, but we saw parts of the city and locations that we would never have seen on our own

We were a group of three and it was by far one of the best experiences we have had while we were on our London vacation. Our guide was Ben, who was beyond lovely and did an INCREDIBLE job at showing us around the city and of course, the Harry Potter film locations. Truly the best guide, also according to my friends and open for all sorts of questions and a nice guy to have a conversation with, which made everything more comfortable! :) We were shown around all sorts of places like the original station for 9¾, Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, Gringots and so on while also having a good look on the sights around. Definitely a fun experience if you want to give a Harry Potter obsessed Fan who has never been to London before a surprise (Like myself!) Even though the Tour was 3 hours (or almost 3 hours) long, it didnt feel like it and has gone by too fast for me. I would definitely book the tour again (if its Ben of course 😁) when i come back to London.

The tour was good. We found more than double people than said on advertisement when booking activity. I was a bit shocked, really. At king's cross there is a lot of noise and when the guide started talking and we were put in a tiny corner trying to listen at the first stop and we couldnt, in that moment I felt like going away from the activity. The guide didnt bring a necessary speaker. The rest of the tour was better, London was not as crowded as usual and we could walk easily and listen as well. The problem came again when arriving to the very centre, Westminster area. That area is always packed and the guide was tight with time, so at that moment we had an issue with the guide. The guide stopped at the top of stairs of the entrance of the tube to go to London Bridge. He told we had some minutes free. I asked if 10 minutes, he said that was a lot. I understood. We just turn the corner. We took the typical photo, less than five minutes. We returned to the point. Nobody there. We were waiting and looking around, and it was the fiirst time that we were left behind and activity. Anyway, it was a quite tiring for a tourist from another country to struggle to hear in those crowded areas. We met people from the group later , the French group, exactly, and they said they continue without us because the guided said that we told we wanted to finish there, but in any moment, me, the speaker from my companions said that to him. A bit surprised. So, it was a different experience. We enjoyed it anyway, that's true. There were very good parts. The guide talked very well and tried to do it entertaining. But we had that feeling that what you have experienced is not totally fulfilling. One of those things.

Good continuous story regarding the Harry Potter film locations.

Unveiling the inspirations behind J. K. Rowling’s world

Explore the sites featured in the immensely popular Harry Potter movies, along with the places that inspired JK Rowling. Like all magical journeys, this one also starts at the King’s Cross Station and Platform 9¾, where you'll get time to click some photos of yourself before you enter the Wizarding World. Next up, visit the Borough Market and the Great Scotland Yard road and try to spot the entrances to the Leaky Cauldron and the Ministry of Magic.

Iconic landmarks with a healthy dose of movie trivia

The tour is not only about film locations. You’ll get to see landmarks like Big Ben and the Westminster area which is home to London icons like Trafalgar Square. Potterheads will remember that this is the square to which the Golden Trio escapes in the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Watch out for the Millennium (aka Wobbly) Bridge that was blown up by the Death Eaters in the Half-Blood Prince, as well as the eerie Clink Prison that is said to have inspired Azkaban. Before the tour ends, be sure to ask your guide about the best places to shop for wizarding world treats like chocolate frogs and butterbeer.
