Excellent guide made exceptional family walking tour - Amara, our guide, made this walking tour of Harry Potter locations in London a great experience. She was especially great with the kids, who clustered around her to talk all things HP. Her attitude was infectious - even for this dad, who has never read any of the books or seen the films. Great family outing in central London - promote this lady immediately!

Harry Potter Walking Tour - Amara showed us the actual filming locations or locations that inspired the locations in the Harry Potter films. We got to stop at a Harry Potter shop and to also see the changing of the Guard.

Great Customer Service - A booking was mistakenly made through Groupon, where through their policy you are unable to cancel. I was provided the the number to speak directly, and I was provided a refund within minutes. Great customer services, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for tours in the future. Thanks once again.
