Awesome

Sean_O, July 2022

Our guides Richard and Chris were very helpful and informative also the air-conditioned coach was lovely and our driver was great also I'm a bus driver myself and I couldn't have done a better job the way he handled those narrow roads and very tight turns was amazing.

Great wizard tour

Lori_E, July 2022

It was great to see different areas of the city and learn different fun facts about the making of Harry Potter.

Absolutely worth it!

Deb_A, June 2022

The stories about JK Rowling's specific sites and able to visit. Video clips very interesting on filming.

Expecting more

Alvaro_B, Apr 2022

The guide (excellent) made magic to have us enternained for the 3 hours. We were expecting more locations on H.Potter. You could show more videos of the movies to locate the spots, music of the movies etc. Positive is the tour in bus for central London which enables to see main attractions of the city

Fantastic trip for all ages I highly recommend it

Rebecca_S, Mar 2022

Our tour guide Richard was absolutely amazing he was so full of knowledge not only of Harry potter but if London an its famous sites. I took my 12 year old daughter on this an she was totally amazed with the stuff she saw about London.

Disappointed daughter

Andrew_D, Aug 2021

Very tenuous connection to Harry Potter. I would go as far as to say that the emphasis on this was almost tantamount to misselling.

Good for Harry Potter fans, but only in english.

Sylvia_B, Mar 2020

Richard was a very funny and pleasant tour guide. He told us many interesting stories about the movies ans the actors we did not know and we also saw a few movie places.

An enjoyable Harry Potter Tour

Clare_B, Feb 2020

Rewarding

m_gilbert251, Oct 2019

Very good tour, very good guide ( Eva). Most enjoyable visiting parts of London not previously seen by us and a great introduction to the city for our grandchildren.

Too much walking

uncgrad80, Aug 2019

Jess, the tour guide was knowledgeable. The driver was beyond amazing. The sites were perfect. But a couple of us were having knew and leg issues. Jess walked so fast, it was impossible for me to keep up. A slower pace would have been appreciated, A heads up in the description about the amount of wolking would have been helpful as well.

Harry Potter bus tour with Scott. Scott was an excellent guide. The tour was fun, upbeat and informational.

grant_j, Apr 2019

Our tour was excellent. Not only did Scott know his Harry Potter, but also knew a lot of London history. It was a fun and upbeat tour. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time and the tour guide lady I forget her name she was full of knowledge and very funny. I highly recommend this tour for everyone. Thanks again for a truly life changing experience.

It's a fun tour, but the locations...

Sara L, July 2017

It's a fun tour, but the locations are limited in terms of Harry Potter destinations, other than Platform 9 3/4. The guide is knowledgeable and it does allow you to see lots of London location, but it ranks low on the Harry Potter magic scale.

Pamela_D, Apr 2017

Our daughter asked to this tour. As Potter fans, we enjoyed it too. Super bus driver and very personable guide. She knew her Potter facts.

The meeting instruction is...

Elizabeth_B, July 2016

The meeting instruction is confusing. Temple Underground and Temple Bar is not close or we weren't in the right spot. We called, left message and they gave us the route to catch up but traffic was so bad we took too long. We completely missed it. Instead we looked online and went to the spots alone.
