1.00The walk was cancelled due to no guide being available. I did not get a refund and would not recommend the operator or booking this through Trip Advisor because there is no follow up when things don't go to plan.
Very enjoyable tour for all ages

5.00An enjoyable and informative tour packed not only with Harry Potter related facts, quizzes, insights and stories but also about the city of York . The tour was led by a very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide Ellie who was a pleasure to spend a few hours with. A Great tour for Harry Potter fans of all ages as well as an introduction to the city.
Excellent Activity, Even for Day Trippers

2.00Unfortunately we arrived 10 minutes after the booking time and no one was there. The road and construction works outside the York railway station are horrendous and it took a long time to spot the signs to find the meeting point (RF bus stop) amidst the many people walking about and the cars, etc. Pity…
Fantastic Harry Potter tour with Ellie!

The overall experience was fantastic and the interactive questions were really fun! Would definitely recommend if you like Harry Potter and also want to see York! :)
