Susan_J, Apr 2024
Inside info provided by Carolina was excellent. She paced tour well and answered all of our questions. Learned a lot, not just about Harry Potter but also about London!
Zuzana_A, Apr 2024
It was very amusing full off vivid stories and backround infos told by the guide. We enjoyed the walk as well as caring and friendly managment of the talks and walks.
Sharika_B, Mar 2024
Carolina is a great tour guide. She introduced herself to the group and welcomed us to the tour, gave a brief breakdown of the schedule. She was thorough with her details not only for Harry Potter but London as a whole. I could see the pride in her words about her work.

Had an amazing time on the Harry Potter tour for our daughter’s 8th birthday. Our tour guide Laine (I think) was so knowledgeable about Harry Potter and London in general. Took time to answer everyone’s questions and spoke to each of the children doing the tour
My daughter said it was so much fun and loved the Laine took the time to ask and answer questions
Thank you so much
Response from Host, Feb 2024
What a magical review! Thank you so much for joining us on the tour - we're so glad you had a great time with Laine who is just simply amazing! Thank you once again and we hope to see you at Hogwarts soon!

Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for this magical review! We are so glad to hear you had a great time on the tour! We hope you enjoy the rest of your time in London!

The tour was very nice and informative and it was great to see some Harry Potter highlights. I thoroughly enjoyed it and there were a lot of photo opportunities on the way.
Bear in mind that this is a walking tour, so will involve a lot of walking. Some people on our tour had kids who were really tired, so be prepared from beforehand.
Also note, the tour ends in King's cross but does not include the picture at platform 9 3/4th. You need to queue in line for about half an hour or more to get your pic taken, which is outside of the tour timings.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for the review, we really appreciate you joining us on the tour. For future guests reference -the tour covers 2-3 miles in total which is quite easy for most people. In addition please note that this guest did the tour during the busiest week of the year so queues for all attractions in London (including Platform 9 3/4) were obviously going to be longer than normal. The photo is a free optional extra at the end. Thank you again for joining the tour.
Todd_C, Aug 2023
Both tour guides were excellent; fun a knowledgeable. It was a nice way to see some of the city. Nice for Harry Potter fans, but cool facts about the areas in general.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thanks so much for the great review! We really appreciate you joining us on the tour!
Bella_H, Aug 2023
The tour guide Mike was amazing! He is super knowledgeable and engaging, sharing various filming locations, places of inspiration for J. K. Rowling, as well as city history for a great London experience. It’s interesting for the nerds if Harry Potter, who like to see in person some things that go behind the scenes into the world and movies of Harry Potter. The Platform 9 3/4 photo is after the tour- you will have to still wait in line for that!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you so much for the great review Bella - we really appreciate it!
Dawn_L, Jul 2023
