What To Expect
Westminster Abbey
See the Ministry of Magic where in the movie The Order of the Phoenix, Harry and Mr Weasley attend a hearing because Harry has used magic outside school hours. How did they get in? A London red telephone box of course! Then later in the Deathly Hallows Part 1, Harry, Ron and Hermione have to find a way to get into the Ministry of Magic to retrieve a Horcrux from Delores Umbridge's neck
King's Cross Station
See where Warner Bros have set up a Platform 9 3/4 experience where, if time permits, you can line up to have your photo taken pushing a railway trolly through a wall. There may also be time to visit the souvenir store. But your Wizard driver/guide knows exactly where the sequence was filmed, and might be able to take you right onto the station platform to see where it really happened!

5.00We had an excellent time on our Harry Potter black cab tour with Michael! We were able to see so many locations that were in different movies. Michael played the scene in the movie and then we went to the corresponding location! It was also an excellent way to see parts of London you’d never see!
Brilliant.

5.00Michael was an outstanding tour guide for the Harry Potter tour. He arrived on time, was extremely friendly with a great sense of humor. He clearly explained where we would go and what we would see. He took his time, did not rush us, and took great pictures of our family. Michael clearly enjoyed relaying the magic of Harry Potter and made the tour extremely fun and fascinating for our daughter. He also gave us great information about the history of London and tips on places to see and options for restaurants. We highly recommend Michael to anyone who enjoys the Harry Potter stories and wants to have an enjoyable experience visiting the movie locations and inspirations for J.K. Rowlings.
What a well guided fun tour

5.00This tour was wonderful. Mark was knowledgeable and kept the children engaged the entire time. It combined clips from the movie and then we would go experience it on the tour. Also saw many great London sites not Harry Potter related.

5.00We spent the morning with Michael. He was absolutely fantastic and thoughtful. My 9 year old daughter had so much fun. Of course, the 9 3/4 platform was the hit of the morning for her. It was such a special experience as we were the only people on the platform. Personally, I was a fan of Michael's architectural knowledge of city buildings. It wasn't just a Harry Potter tour. Michael sprinkled some London facts throughout. Very cool. Great time. Sign up. You'll enjoy it.
Family of 5 loved Harry Potter London scenes tour

5.00Our tour guide Mark did a great job of taking us around London and showing where numerous scenes from Harry Potter movies were filmed. He even had a DVD player to show us the scene at every stop. Allowed us to go into shop inside train station to buy souvenirs. Family of 5 enjoyed our time.
Just Book it! You will enjoy!

5.00Micheal did a great Job! Knew the city and was very helpful. Pickup and drop off was great. Enjoyed the info and conversation along the way. I would definitely recommend him again. If he is not available I would also recommend Steve. He helped me with a few tours a few years ago, harry potter and a rock and roll tour. It really speaks volumes that they have a really good knowledgeable staff! Thanks for the great morning!

5.00If you’re looking for a truly personalized and unforgettable way to explore London, look no further than this private 3 hour black taxi tour! Michael, our fantastic driver/ guide made this experience absolutely magical for me, my daughter, and 2 friends. The tour was curated for us with must see London highlights like Big Ben, Parliament, the Thames & Borough Market -with a special Harry Potter twist. Michael went all out to bring movie moments to life, showing film clips before arriving at locations and explaining how scenes were shot. The girls were thrilled and felt like VIPs as he parked close to the sites and got out to snap some incredible photos of us! Beyond the movie magic, Michael shared fascinating historical insights and even took us to the iconic American Bar, an unexpected and exciting stop for all of us. He was flexible, attentive to our interest, and shared his own experiences, making the tour feel both informative and personal. If you want to see a lot in a short time, with a knowledgeable and engaging guy who cares about your experience, this is a tour book. I highly recommend letting Michael know your interest, he will craft an amazing adventure just for you!

5.00We booked this tour for my 11-year-old daughter, who is a huge Harry Potter fan. Our driver Michael showed us all the secret locations of the city and we could also marvel at the scenes in the film. To keep us adults from getting bored, we also got a sightseeing tour at the same time. It was really fantastic, informative and fascinating. Despite city traffic and traffic jams, we visited all locations in peace and quiet and still had time for photos, conversations and a cosy coffee with Big Ben as the backdrop. We are looking forward to our next visit to London and will definitely book a tour with Michael again. Highly recommended.
