Two witches on a muggle tour

Rhonda_F, Apr 2024

Our guide was witty and charming and filled our noggins with the best information. We loved it. The pace was excellent and timing good.

Engaging, Fun, and a Great Way to see London

Vanessa_H, Apr 2024

Our leader was great, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. my family really enjoyed seeing the real-life settings of some of the scenes in Harry Potter movies. I, who have not read or watched, (sorry!), still found the tour to be absolutely worth it. We saw so many areas in London that we would not have scene by going on this tour and the guide provided more info about London than just about HP. I highly recommend!

Must Do for Harry Potter Fans

Patrick_T, Apr 2024

Charlie is such an amazing tour guide. He truly made the tour. He has such great enthusiasm and knowledge. Would highly recommend to any fans of Harry Potter.

Awesome experience

Anton_D, Mar 2024

We loved the tour. Lovely walk. The guide was amazing - fun, insightful and engaging. We walked by some of the hidden gems which were related to filming Harry Potter. It was great that the tour ended at the Boroughs market as it was lunch time. This is definitely one of the highlights of our trip to London.

amazing!

GLORIA_A, Mar 2024

Lolly Weasly was a fantastic storyteller. She did an amazing job connecting all places where we went with Harry Potter anecdotes. She was funny and really gentle. Nice tour. Suited for family with kids too.

Great tour!

Kristin_E, Mar 2024

Our tour guide, Charlie, was absolutely phenomenal! He made the tour so enjoyable for all in our group. My daughter truly enjoyed it’

Great Tour - Must do if studio is sold out

Robert_K, Mar 2024

Great tour. Not only do you get Harry Potter information but also London information. Easy walking. Tour guide was GREAT and kept everyone involved!

Highlight of our short stay

Linda_R, Mar 2024

Absolutely fabulous walking tour! Great fun to hear about all things Harry Potter while walking around The City of London. Don’t miss this one.

Enjoyable

Sarah_L, Mar 2024

Tour guide was great but I most enjoyed spending valuable time with my adult children who were Harry Potter nuts, even if I’m not.

ハリポタファンなら絶対参加すべきツアー！！

Haruka_K, Mar 2024

I had great time with a wonderful guide, Steph Black!! I am Japanese and I worried about language barrier before the tour started. However, Steph spoke very clearly and slowly, so I understood almost everything of her talk. And, Steph has a lot of knowledge about not only Harry Potter stories but also the history of London. she talked in amusing way, so I really enjoyed it! I’m sure that all the Harry Potter fans enjoy this tour. I’d like to let more Japanese fans know about this tour, so I also write a review for prospective visitors in Japanese. ↓ Tour for Mugglesというタイトル通り、ハリーポッターのロケ地や関連スポットを歩いて巡る英語ガイド付きのウォーキングツアーです。自分で調べるだけでは辿り着けないような路地裏にも案内してくれて、それぞれの場所でハリーポッターに関連した歴史や裏話を細かく解説してくれるので、ハリーポッターだけでなくロンドンの面白い歴史の話が沢山聞けます。ガイドさんの解説はとても楽しいので、2時間があっという間です。英語が母国語ではない参加者のために、敢えて簡単な単語を使いながらゆっくりはっきりと話してくれたので、最初は不安だった言葉の壁もほとんど感じることなく楽しむことが出来ました。実際の映画のシーンの写真などを見せながら話してくれるので、ハリポタファンなら言葉を心配して参加しないのは勿体ないと思います！またロンドンに来た時には是非参加したいと思える素晴らしいツアーでした。 Thank you very much for the wonderful tour!!! I hope to see you again!

Great tour!

Mikaele_N, Feb 2024

The tour guide was very kind, knowledgeable, and funny. We saw some cool Harry Potter movie locations through the tour and my kids had a great time.

Fun tour with engaging guide!

Rachel_L, Feb 2024

This was a fun tour and a great way to also see a bit of London + receive a little London history while seeing several sites from the Harry Potter films. Our guide, "Charlie Crouch," was very energetic, enthusiastic, and excited to share his knowledge + kept all participants engaged with questions specific to Harry Potter. He made the tour so enjoyable and memorable! Definitely take note of the itinerary/ stops that are included so that you avoid assuming which locations you will see. I had done this before the tour so I was well-informed and everything was "as expected."

Great guide and lots of facts

Holly_T, Feb 2024

the guide was brilliant with the 7year old we had with us and was very engaging, he was very knowledgeable and informative.

Magical Muggles Tour!

Shelley_M, Feb 2024

We had a fabulous time with our tour guide, Steph. My 10 year old daughter and I loved seeing many of the real life locations and inspiration for the movies. The quirky and unusual facts added to the experience. Steph was brilliant at engaging everyone, of all ages. It was a highlight of our trip.

Perfect for all Harry Potter fans!!

EVELYN_M, Feb 2024

Steph was an excellent tour guide! She was soooo knowledgeable about Harry Potter!! She made the tour amazing!

Fantastic

Janet_D, Feb 2024

Our tour guide was amazing, Steph. Full of knowledge well presented. Great for all ages. Fun and worth the money.

HP in London

jane_m, Feb 2024

Our guide had a phenomenal knowledge of “all things Harry Potter” and we thought we knew the books and movies well! The walk was peppered with huge amounts of information about the story and filming spots ( and for other movies too which was an extra bonus) It was a thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours, and showed parts if London we’d never have found on our own. Well worth the cost and we’d do it again.

This is a must for Harry Potter fans!

Barbara_B, Feb 2024

This tour was my highlight of my trip to London! I am a hardcore Harry Potter fan from the US and visiting some of the filming locations from the films was spectacular. Our tour guide Alex was so kind, approachable, and knowledgeable about Harry Potter and London in general. Worth every penny. If you visit London and are a HP fan definitely check this out.

Amazing tour to explore harry potter in a different way

Fadoua_Z, Feb 2024

As i was looking for a less typical tour of harry potter, i decided to go on this one and I'm glad i did The tour was everything I'd ask for. Charly (the tour guide) was amazing. He created such a nice atmosphere for us with the games of houses and the way of explaining everything. I had so much fun.. I would recommend this tour for someone like me who's a big fan of harry potter but not into the studios visit and want to explore the city through harry potter's sites.

Excellent tour!

Charlotte_T, Jan 2024

Steph Black was our guide and was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, informative and knowledgeable and made sure to involve the group throughout the tour. I have loved Harry Potter since I was young but I learned loads of new stuff about it thanks to Steph. We will definitely recommend to our friends.
