This tour was the most awesome and amazing due to our wonderful guide Michael. He really made the whole tour so much fun and also a challenge on remembering the bits in the movies!

Response from Host, June 2023

Thanks for the lovely review! Glad you enjoyed your taxi tour with Michael

One of the highlights of our trip to London!

Joseph_C, Apr 2023

Michael was the best tour guide we could’ve had for this experience. He was very knowledgeable about all things, Harry Potter, and was very engaging for my equally knowledgeable daughters. He was very professional, driver and guide. Since he is a father, he was very engaging as a father figure. He was attentive and asked my daughters, lots of questions to keep them engaged. In addition to knowing Harry Potter, in and out, he was very knowledgeable about the history of London, and able to point out many things during our drive. this was definitely a highlight of our trip. we definitely recommend doing this excursion if you have a chance. Having Michael as our private tour guide was a huge plus!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks for the great review! So glad you enjoyed your Harry Potter taxi tour with Michael.

BRILLANT! MAGICAL! TRIP HIGHLIGHT!

Taylor_R, Apr 2023

We had the MOST magical Harry Potter Black Taxi Tour of London with our guide, Mr. Michael. He arrived 15 minutes early and accommodated us running late. Michael took us to all our favorite Harry Potter sites, plus other interesting London sites, teaching us fun history along the way. His tour made not only our day, but our ENTIRE trip, a true highlight for everyone in our family! Michael truly cares about his passengers making sure all our needs were met and that we had the most wonderful time. When it was time to conclude our tour and say goodbye to Michael, I had HAPPY tears in my eyes. :). Thank you, Michael, and Viator tours!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Amazing tour

Meagen_E, Aug 2022

My two girls and I really enjoyed this trip. The driver was kind and knowledgeable. And funny! He had great spots to park in and joined in on the fun. I highly recommend if you are a Harry Potter fan. My kids loved the Black cab car as well.

Charly_T, July 2022

WOW the best thing to do on your first day in London!!! We had the most wonderful time saw lots of sights and learned some amazing things along the tour.

Response from Host, July 2022

Thanks for the review! So glad you enjoyed your Harry Potter taxi tour with Mark.

Magical!!

Kelli_B, June 2022

Mark was such a great tour guide for our visit to Harry Potter’s world!! He was so knowledgeable and even gave these super-fans a run for their money. We especially appreciated that he showed a clip of each movie scene to refresh our memories when we arrived at sights. Mark was also great about pointing out non-HP sites along our journey! Would highly recommend Mark and his Harry Potter tour!! 🪄

Great time if your a Harry Potter fan

Charles_C, May 2022

This was great value for money. Our kid is a big HP fan and we were taken to lots of parts of London where scenes were filmed. Our driver had the scenes on an iPad as a refresher and we also saw quite a few neighborhoods we would not have seen had we not taken the tour. Our driver was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Wonderful experience.

Response from Host, May 2022

So glad you had a great time on your Harry Potter tour. Thanks for the lovely review.

Great Tour!

Alexandria_H, May 2022

Our driver Mark was very knowledgeable and didn't miss anything. We got to see a lot of Harry Potter filming locations and also got to see the sights in London. If you are a Harry Potter fan this is a great tour and if you aren't, it's still a great way to see the city.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed your Harry Potter London tour with Mark.

Not worth the $.

Nazar_K, Apr 2022

They took us to some of the sites where they filmed Harry Potter. It was basic locations like a street the night bus drove on or the entrance to the ministry of magic. I would have preferred to go on a history tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thanks for your comments. Harry Potter tours are really for Harry Potter fans who love to see the locations in London were the Harry Potter movies were filmed. If you had booked one of our highlights tours we would have been more than happy to take you on a history tour of London.

Great activity for the kids!

Lisa_P, Apr 2022

Mick, our driver was great! He was very sweet with our young girls and kept them interested by showing little clips of the movie scenes where we were visiting. This is definitely geared towards kids, but my husband and I enjoyed relaxing in the cab while being driven around London after a long day of sightseeing.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thanks for your lovely review. Glad both you and the children enjoyed your Harry Potter tour!

Wonderful experience!

Esther_R, Apr 2022

Mark was kind and flexible and very knowledgeable. We had a great time and saw a lot in the 3 hour tour! Thank you!!
