5.00Excellent! My husband and I had a great tour on Friday with our guide, Saleha. It was a beautiful day, and she made it such a fun tour, with lots of interesting facts. I was surprised to find out that there are still things I didn't know about Harry Potter ! I would recommend the tour for any fan. Great fun !

1.00We recently took a Harry Potter walking tour, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations. The tour started off on the right foot with a friendly guide, and she immediately set a fun tone, making us excited for the journey ahead. She was full of enthusiasm, and had plenty of interesting behind-the-scenes details about the films that we really appreciated. Honestly, talking to her was one of the highlights of the day, and we had a great time exchanging thoughts on the books and movies. However, as the tour went on, things started to feel a bit off. The itinerary didn’t seem to flow as well as we’d hoped, and towards the end, we were surprised when we were sent off on our own to explore King's Cross Station. We expected to be guided through the iconic locations with more structure, but instead, we were essentially left to navigate the area ourselves. It was a bit of an anticlimax, especially after the guide had built up so much excitement. All that said, the tour did have its moments, and our guide was truly fantastic. She made sure to engage everyone in the group and was happy to answer any questions we had. Even though we were let down by the latter part of the tour, we still enjoyed the time spent with her. Would I recommend? No, don’t waste your time, you could perhaps take the same tour but with a different company.
A fun and informative tour

5.00The tour was absolutely amazing! As a huge Harry Potter fan, every single filming spot that Anna showed me felt like a hidden gem in London. She shared film footage from each location along with captivating stories, which gave me goosebumps. The tour truly made me feel like I was in the movie, and it was an overwhelming experience! I've been on several tours before, but this one was by far one of the best.

5.00Ana our guide was full of knowledge about Harry Potter and JK Rowling. We learned a great deal and she lead us all over London. It turned out to be a private tour which was really wonderful. We spent some extra time and she took some great pictures of us. I would recommend this tour and Ana to anyone who loves Harry Potter and is going to London.
Awful - No Tour No Refund

1.00No one was there to meet us. Never took the tour. It was cold and rainy, 3 other people showed up at the same time so it wasn't just us.

5.00our guide Anna was amazing. Knew her Harry Potter inside and out. Made the tour all that more interesting. She was happy to be flexible and take the time to show and tell those places we had particularly interest in. Went with my family of 4.

4.00Our tour guide was fabulous. She was knowledgeable and made the experience fun. However, I am disappointed in the false advertisement of going to platform 9 3/4. It is not part of the tour, altjoigh it clearly says so in the description.
