Good tour for both wizards and muggles - We took this tour on our first morning in London. Not only was it fun to see some Harry Potter filming and inspiration spots but it was a great way to be introduced to the city itself. I toured with my adult daughter and I am the Harry Potter fan. I think we both had a fabulous time. We walked by several places we returned to later in our trip. Guide was engaging and entertaining.

Beautiful discovery - Sophie was an extraordinary Guide: patient, pedagogue, funny and enthusiastic! We learned a lot not only about Harry Potter’s filming locations but also about iconic London landmarks and neighbourhoods. Many thanks to Sophie! And sorry for our 5 min delay:-) Sylvain, Sarah and Hector

Great tour with quiz and boat trip - The tour with the well laid-out tour leader Marvin was a lot of fun for us. We learned a lot of new things and Marvin hosted a great quiz. As icing on the cake there was a boat tour on the Thames.

Harry Potter Tour with Dwyce - It was very entertaining and the tour leader (I think, Dwyce is his name) is a good humored, nice guy who has funny stories and comments in every corner, about the Rowling book and the Harry Potter film scenes too, plus he is really like a talented actor, speaks so understandably and artculately that the participants get every word. So absolutely does his job very well. I'm happy I could experience this adventure with him.

Not recommended - We have toured in other cities and had nothing to do with it, the explanations of the Guide have been very brief, of the 18 points we had to visit, hopefully, we have been explained and indicated 8, a shame, both for the money it has cost and for the interest we had, that only in terms of the tourist visit, in terms of the “Harry Potter dive”, insufficient for a real fan. 1. Southwark Cathedral (NOT SEEN) 2. Borough Market 3. The Golden Hinde (NOT SEEN) 4. Winchester Palace (NOT SEEN) 5. The Clink Prison Museum (NOT SEEN) 6. Shakespeare's Globe 7. Millennium Bridge 8. Daniel Radcliffe School (NOT SEEN) 9. London Eye (NOT EXPLAINED) 10. River Thames 11. Pub Sherlock Holmes 12. Great Scotland Yard 13. Gringotts Magic Bank 14. Smallest police station in the world (NOT SEEN) 15. Trafalgar Square (NOT SEEN) 16. Callejón Knockturn 17. Callejón Diagon 18. Palace Theatre
