Fun and interactive - We had a really good time with both our hosts we had a group of 31 people so it was very interactive, I just wish I had the same knowledge as kids in our group. We visited some beautiful and interesting places Ellie was a fantastic story teller and kept us all engaged as well as playing extra quizzes with kids. A good 2 hours spent thank you

Best walking tour in York - Myself and my 7 year old daughter thourghly enjoyed our tour with Ellie. The girls were very knowledgeable on all things York and Harry Potter and despite the torrential rain my daughter and I had a fantastic time. Definitely our favourite activity we've done during our trip. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting York very enjoyable for all ages and even non Harry fans will enjoy this tour.

Enjoyable for HP fans - Went with a friend on this tour and as was delightly surprised and impressed with the knowledge that our tour guide Ellie provided. As a fellow Harry Potter fan, I found it quite interesting how some of York's history inspired the books and the films. And the tour was very interactive with trivia questions.

Amazing Harry Potter Tour - This was so much fun learned quite abit about York but also the relation to Harry Potter. Myself and my partner loved Ellie who was our guide, she made it a lot more fun by giving us trivia questions about Harry Potter and had interactive challenges. Definitely would love to do this again.

Really good fun - Our guide Ellie was absolutely lovely and so knowledgeable about all things Harry Potter and York. She quickly sorted us into teams and it all worked really well. It was a good balance of York history and Harry Potter connections and questions. I would recommend the tour and commend Ellie for how much energy, enthusiasm and knowledge she put into it. Thank you.

Fun tour but no filming locations - If you are looking for filming locations for Harry Potter, then you will be disappointed. This tour shows places that were the inspiration for various items in the Harry Potter universe. The guide is very knowledgeable and makes the trip fun. Make sure you are up to date on your Harry Potter trivia, it will pay off. Fun trip and the kids that were on it seemed to really enjoy it.

Decent experience - The tour was good, host was fine, however it was more harry potter inspiration than anything to actually do with harry potter, and without the quiz it would have been just a tour of york, which is not a bad thing, just when a child is expecting a harry potter experience it was a bit of a let down
