The tour itself was nice, well put together and the tour guide was knowledgeable but there are several websites now that, between all of them, list the locations with a bit of background. But, for being on vacation and not really know my way around the city, it was well worth the money.

It was an interesting walk looking at the locations were parts of the Harry Potter movies were filmed. The walk took in places such as Leadenhall Market, Great Scotland Yard and of course, Kings Cross Station. There was also a boat ride along the Thames, where the guide indicated where Harry flew under the bridges. It was a 2.5 hour tour making it very good value for money. A must for any Harry Potter fan.

Thoroughly enjoyable. I enjoyed the short boat trip on the Thames and all the little titbits of information related to us by the tour guide who was very professional and pleasant and spoke clearly even though at times she had to shout above the background noise to be heard, she did very well. It was interesting and enjoyable even for 'older' Harry Potter fans. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends.

My daughter and I really enjoyed our Harry Potter Walking Tour of London and the only reason I did not give it 5 stars was due to the weather! Our guide was excellent with a good strong voice, and knowledge of both the book and the city.

we enjoyed this tour but after we arrived in London we found out we could have had this tour for free as it is included as a walking tour with one of the city bus tours. As there were 5 of us it would have saved us a whole lot of money.

Nice tour, with a funny guide. It is well-prepared, with pictures of the movie to show what happened here and there!
HOWEVER, I'm quite disappointed because we were 50 persons! It is clearly too many to follow just one guide. He has to shout for us, and didn't have enough time to explain to each of us. The agency should have refused so many people.

We are all Harry Potter fans especially my 13yr old daughter it was a high light of her trip, the tour was really fun. There is a lot of walking but it goes by fast and doesn't feel like 2.5hrs at all. We stopped at every spot and had photo opts. Even my 10yr old son kept up. The only things I would suggest is that some of the props had been left at the sights ie. phone booths or some signs. The guide did had pics of the actual scenes from the movie so it was easy to imagine where you were. this is something all Potter fans should do.

I enjoyed seeing London from a Harry Potter perspective. The boat ride down the Thames was the highlight for me.

A small but perfectly formed group embarked across our Potter tour across London. My son was the Potter fan along with a couple of other bescpectacled kids. Altogether, an enjoyable if tiring afternoon. Stops across London at spots that inspired the films or indeed were in the films, backed up by still shots shown by our lovely tour guide, Yuki. He was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable (even die hard fans couldn't answer all his trivia questions that kept us on our toes, literally!). I would just say bear in mind this is a long trip for very young kids - by the time you get near the end, you're very tired. I appreciated the other historical/film facts en route as well.

I really enjoyed see locations from the movies. My only suggestion because the tour is done at night it would be nice to be given a map with locations marked for someone who wanted to go back during the day to take pictures of the locations. Thanks for a fun two and a half hours!
