David is excellent! - We just loved our Harry Potter Tour and guide, David. It was apparent the effort he put into designing all the spots to stop at. It was a lovely touch that we watched movie clips as we moved throughout the tour. Lastly, we found that David was such a kindhearted individual and lovely to chat with. He even bought us some English snacks to try! We recommend David to any Harry Potter fan visiting London!!

More than just the Magic of Harry Potter-the Magic of London! - Our tour guide Laura showed us more than just the magic of London through the many Harry Potter movie sites. She was prompt, personable and incredibly knowledgeable. She expertly navigated the city and took us to the inspirations for and the filming sites of Harry Potter movie scenes. If there wasn’t an iconic red phone booth where we needed one for a picture, she brought her own! Laura sprinkled in history of the city along with suggestions for the remainder of our stay along the way. Our tour with Laura was an absolute highlight for our group, meeting the needs of a grandma, two parents and a teen!

Fun day! - We added a Heathrow pickup to this tour and our guide, Steve, was fantastic. This was mostly for my Potter-fan wife, and sadly I was sick most of the tour and wasn't really able to participate. However, she enjoyed herself immensely and was a great kick-off to our vacation in London.

Harry Potter & London tour - Ray was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and wheeled us around a busy downtown London very naturally. Took us on a tour of Harry Potter film locations and included lots of London and UK history along the way. Great with kids too. Thanks Ray!

An AMAZING tour for big Potterheads!!! - This Harry Potter taxi tour was one of the biggest highlights of our trip to London! As huge Harry Potter fans, we loved seeing so many different places where the Harry Potter movies were filmed - including Platform 9 & 3/4! We drove all throughout the city of London so it was also a great chance to see some major sights along the way, which our tour guide Keith made an effort to point out. It was so nice to have this private tour and be able to ask Keith all sorts of questions about the film sites, life in London, things to do, etc. He was so kind, friendly, and encouraged us to take our time to enjoy every stop we made and take pictures, which we really appreciated. On top of all of this, it was just fun to ride around in a black taxi cab! I'd definitely recommend any Potterhead to do this tour - you won't regret it!

Great tours with Tim of Black Taxi Tours - Tim was fabulous. We did the Harry Potter London tour and a day trip to Oxford and the Cotswolds with him on two different days. Tim is the most personable guide we have ever had. He knows how to individualize an experience and is the most genuine person. He is knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend to all!

No fun here - - Boring and uninteresting. Our guide was a nice woman, but she didn't seem to know what she was talking about. We had a lot of great tours while in London except this one. Our kids grew up with Harry Potter and were so excited to have this experience, so it was a huge disappointment. Darn.
