5.00Thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Ellie as our guide. She was super knowledgeable about York and Harry Potter, and she made the whole thing so fun. We got to pick houses from the sorting hat and were split into team for a HP quiz as we explored the city. Admittedly I expected more of the sites to be directly linked to HP as opposed to drawing similarities but I found that I really enjoyed learning about York with HP elements thrown in throughout the tour so nevertheless I really enjoyed it.
Not a Harry Potter locations tour

1.00Well I was excited as the name suggested I was made to believe that we would get to see certain Harry Potter locations but it’s misleading. It’s actually a walking tour around certain sites in York with Harry Potter quiz in between. Although the guide was knowledgable, I was put off as the walking tour had no locations of Harry Potter shoots. If I knew this earlier I would not have chosen this. The meeting point was changed and directions were not clear but the tour waited till we arrived (10 mins late)
Definitely do NOT recommend them.

1.00Couldn’t find the meeting place as there was a ton of construction and their directions aren’t clear. Messaged them at the time of the beginning of the tour telling them I couldn’t find them. They never responded. Called Viator who put me through to them. Asked for a refund and they said no, it was my fault I couldn’t find them. Definitely do NOT recommend them.
Absolutely loved it...
