Traveller Tips

Be prepared to walk a lot - you cover a lot of ground in 2 hours, but it is enjoyable to see the street scenes as they were set for the movies and how they are IRL.

Catherine was a terrific tour guide

Patricia_M, Apr 2023

Thank you Catherine as our tour guide for your knowledge and expertise. Enjoyed the walk. Date was 4/14/23.

POOR

Lynne_W, July 2022

The group was way too large extremely disappointing. Pictures shown were very poor and it did not include draagon alley. She spoke way too quickly. I will certainly not be recommending.

The guide walked too...

ivo_b, June 2022

The guide walked too fast, didn't look enough to the participants (started the walk with 18, ended with 12, left 6 men on the way). The kids where very disappointed that they didn't see platform 9 3/4. A disappointing experience.

100 points for Ravenclaw!

Jennifer_L, May 2022

Such fun ! Richard was a great guide and we got to see all kinds of city landmarks and here fun stories about filming Harry Potter

Fast Paced but Enjoyable

Be prepared to walk a lot - you cover a lot of ground in 2 hours, but it is enjoyable to see the street scenes as they were set for the movies and how they are IRL. It was also interesting to see how some sites were altered for the movies because what is really there doesn't really work. The street scenes for the first visit to Diagon Alley were very enjoyable.

No Show

Arrived at the specified location in good time but couldn't find the tour. Searched all around and eventually tried to ring the help desk. Spent 10 minutes on hold then gave up on both the call and the tour. Very disappointing. Process for filing a complaint is non existent or extremely well hidden.

Billy D, Aug 2017

I had the same guide for last year's DW walking tour that I did. He did an excellent job with this HP walking tour. Picked up a few nuggets that I wasn't aware of previously.

Great for kids and adults! This tour not only covers Harry Potter movie locations, but also, along the way, you find out a lot about architecture and history of London.

The tour guide focused completely on...

Julius B, Aug 2015

The tour guide focused completely on how certain building facades were altered in the movies -- not anything that most children or adults cared about. He had us walking enormous distances -- across 2 bridges, and through 2 markets without doing any commentary or explanation. He didn't manage to engage any of the children in any conversation or discussion about what happened in amy of the books -- mentioned only the movies. he mentioned the he was not a regular guide on this tour -- which was quite apparent !1 I feel that we wasted quite a lot of money and time. I would never use your booking service again, you need to check out your tours before selling tickets.

Owen maakte het een super event

Huib_M, Aug 2022

De tour was super leuk! Niet allen de Harry Potter hoogtepunten, maar ook de andere Londen hoogtepunten waar we langsliepen was leuk. Onze gids Owen was super goed te verstaan en leuk in z’n presentatie!

Erg leuke wandeling door Londen

Sightseer58753183417, Jan 2019

Leuke wandeling en veel gezien en geleerd weer over Harry Potter. We hebben ruim 2 uur door de stad gelopen. Gids Jess wist erg veel te vertellen en maakte de tour erg leuk, ook werden er veel zaken verteld die niet met Harry Potter te maken had, dus ook geschikt voor de iets mindere fans

Balade sympa mais comme toujours en...

ANNECECILE_L, Aug 2016

Balade sympa mais comme toujours en GB toute en anglais donc on a passé plus de temps à essayer de comprendre le guide qu'à profiter. nous lui avions demandé d'essayer de parler plus lentement mais en vain.

Trevlig och kunnig guide. En trevlig...

MarieLouise_R, Aug 2015

Trevlig och kunnig guide. En trevlig promenad i ett London som man inte besöker så ofta.
