One must understand that the tour takes you by just a handful of locations used to shoot Harry Potter. My understanding is that the true "location" of the film is quite a distance from London. So, with that in mind, our guide gave us some valuable tips about other things (restaurants, money exchange, etc.) and the Hop On-Hop Off was a great way to get the lay of the land.

Excellent examples of Harry Potter Inspiration

Jesse_B, Oct 2023

Matt was a great host to London! Not only did we see where much of the inspiration came from for Harry Potter, we also saw some of the local sights. Great tour!

Great host, great tour! Recommend!

First trip to England

Kevin_B, Aug 2023

Excellent guide. Enjoyed the Harry Potter details and the sites of England were great to see. Getting the bus and river cruise tickets were a bit off a chore as we didn’t more exactly which bus to get on and had to ask around for more detailed information. But once we had them, the bus and river rides were great.

Bummed

Monica_H, Jul 2023

The walking tour was decent enough. Guide was good and nice. Group was too big to hear much. Neither the bus or boat tickets worked. I showed them receipts but the link didn't show "their" qr code, and we weren't the only ones. Other people from our walking tour were also told no. Turned into quite a frustrating day with family mad that I had booked that for our only day in London. We were all quite sad.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Awsome

ANDREE_P, Sep 2022

Thank you so much to Lew, the guide we had for the walking tours of vox City! He was nice, kind and generous. He gave us 2 walking tours that turned out to be private, cause no other tourists showed Up. We are very grateful and we recommand the walking tours.

Visite de Londres sans Visite à pied Harry Potter

morin_b, Apr 2024

Nous n'avons pas pu effectuer la visite à pied Harry Potter : guide non présent à l'endroit et à l'heure indiquée (après interrogation des différents guides présents sur le site).

Informative Tour- nicht nur für Harry-Potter-Fans!

Ulrike_N, Oct 2023

Toller Rundgang durch einen Teil Londons, den man ansonsten weniger entdeckt. Ein super Tourguide (Jess) mit unglaublichem Wissen! Harry Potter-Bezüge für uns ausreichend. Hop-on-hop-off-Bus hat gut funktioniert und es ist eine schöne und abwechslungreiche Tour. Die Bootsfahrt passte bei uns leider nicht in unseren Zeitplan, aber ist normalerweise gut schaffbar.

Programme familial au bon rapport qualité/prix

Marlene_G, Feb 2023

Package parfait pour une première visite de Londres en famille ! Nous avons manqué le guide pour la visite à pieds mais le service client a été parfait, à l’écoute et arrangeant pour nous programmer une visite le lendemain. Jess le guide a été lui aussi parfait le jour J ; souriant, accueillant et sympathique. La formule bus 24h n’est pas très claire et l’accès à la croisière ne l’est pas non plus mais on retombe vite sur ses pieds. Bref, l’expérience est positive !

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hi Marlene, thank you for taking the time to review us and for all your suggestions. We're glad to know that the full experience was satisfying and we will treasure the advice you gave us. See you soon in another Vox City destination worldwide!
