What's experience ever.

Mugdha_M, Oct 2023

My whole money was wasted. The tour guide could not even bother to call the people before the tour to make sure they get to him. What's more is that the guide was not even reachable when tried to contact with. I waited at the meeting point for over 40 minutes trying to connect with him or the customer support. I was put on hold for over 15 mins and still their customer support could not do a thing and even denied the refund when there services were denied.

We didn’t finish the...

Zarah_P, Aug 2023

We didn’t finish the entire tour because it wasn’t what we were expecting it to be. I think the tour is for the die hard HP fans. We found the tour boring.

Superb

George_E, Aug 2023

It was easy to find the guide to start the tour. And Jenny (Tour guide) was exceptional. She made the tour loads of fun and we leaned a lot!

Benny was a fantastic guide!

Julia_O, Jul 2023

Especially loved learning all of the BTS tidbits. The tour bus was new and clean. Benny was a super fan guide who kept the crowd engaged and entertained. Loved it!

Awesome

Sean_O, Jul 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, Jul 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, Jun 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

Really enjoyed this tour yesterday. Took my granddaughter for her 10th birthday & she enjoyed it very much 👍👍👍

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.

James A, Aug 2017

Tour was 45 mins late, lineup to platform to see the cart and skipped diagonal alley. Son was disappointed. Nice enough tour guide and bus was very nice though.
