So much fun! Ruben created this tour based on his own interest and passion for Harry Potter - and you can tell he loves it! I compared a lot of other tours and ultimately chose this one because it visits the most film locations. Ruben brought an iPad to show how the locations were used in the films, which was very helpful for me as it’s been awhile since I’ve seen the movies. Walking is the best and easiest way to get to these spots compared to a bus, as buses can get delayed due to crazy London traffic - but be prepared for a LOT of walking. We were tired but really enjoyed ourselves. The pace is not too fast and there are 2 bathroom breaks built in. 100% worth it!

The tour director was knowledgeable and answered questions. I wish I had known that this tour did not include going to where Harry Potter was filmed.
Ruben was a great tour guide!!! Loved his knowledge of Harry Potter and loved when he showed us on his tablet what we were looking at in person and how it looked in the movies. Wear comfy shoes. Ruben does walk a little fast but he always keeps track of where his group is. Awesome experience! Thanks Ruben!
This guide was very informative and brought us to many interesting sights that were actually in the movie
Excellent Harry Potter Tour! This was just the perfect Harry Potter tour! Our guide made sure we knew exactly where and how each location was used in the movies, and he shared so much fascinating information about the sites along the way. You could really tell how knowledgeable and passionate he was about Harry Potter, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to every Harry Potter fan—big or small! 🪄✨
It was a really nice experience, Robin told everything so detailed. Learned a lot and saw London through a really different eye. A lot of knowledge about Harry Potter, small groups so I really recommend this!
The tour was absolutely amazing, my daughter and I loved every second of it. Rubn is the most excellent guide, he was so informative really really knows his Harry Potter. Brought us to places you would never find on your own. He also was very helpful when I mixed up the booking and train was not running and we had to find another way to get to meeting point. He gives a mobile number when booked and achually answer the phone. 5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 + I would highly recommend 🥰
Amazing tour with photos and videos of HP scenes from movies! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Helped us with our sons stroller and also waited for us when we were running a couple of mins late! Name was Robin!
A most enjoyable different take on the Harry Potter experience, clear that a lot of time and effort put into the experience, and will now be re watching the movies looking out for all the locations we visited. Will definitely recommend 👍
Our tour guide was great and spent time and attention to detail. He showed us clips from the movie along the way! Highly recommended!
Most comprehensive Harry Potter tour ! The others are way too short and too many people. Would do again
Our guide, Rueben, personable courteous, energetic, entertaining and very organized. He was a wealth of information and kept our group moving through the city. I was on a cane for the tour and never had difficulty keeping up. Thanks Rueben for a fabulous tour!
We had a great time on the tour - the guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable of both Harry Potter and London, and the tour itself was very well put together and easy to follow! Would recommend :)
I did the tour with two girls aged 9 and 12, and it was absolutely fantastic! We enjoyed every single moment of the experience. Ruben made us feel so engaged throughout the tour, sharing all the little secrets behind the Harry Potter filming locations. I 200% recommend this tour to any Harry Potter fan!
This tour was wonderful! Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful even beyond the tour with recommendations and transportation suggestions. This is a brilliant choice if you’re looking for the authentic filming locations or inspiration instead of a studio tour. It’s a great way to see different parts of the city, which was perfect for my 12 year old daughter and I in London for 24 hours. It is a 3-hour walking tour so you will be walking for 3-hours (with a couple of rides on the tube). It’s stated clearly and it was an excellent choice for me, but my jet lagged preteen is not writing this review (lol).
My teenage daughter and I really enjoyed the walking tour. Our guide, Ruben, was amazing and we got to really get to know London in such a fun way. Thank you!
Ruben our amazing guide was very informative about specific spots used in all Harry Potter films. His passion for these movies was clearly shown through his dynamic organization and photo/film props to help us really visualize how the movies played out. Great tour, would do it again in a heartbeat!
We had a fantastic time on this Harry Potter filming locations tour! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about both the films and the history of the locations we visited. It was clear they were passionate about the subject, which made the experience even more engaging. The tour included a great variety of filming locations, giving us the chance to see many of the places that brought the Harry Potter movies to life. Each stop was interesting and well chosen, with plenty of behind-the-scenes stories and details that we wouldn't have known otherwise. What really stood out was how attentive and helpful our guide was throughout the tour. They made sure everyone in the group was comfortable, answered questions patiently, and accommodated everyone's needs, creating a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all. One thing to keep in mind is that there is quite a lot of walking involved, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and come prepared. It's well worth it, as you'll get to see so many fantastic locations along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to any Harry Potter fan or anyone looking for an informative and entertaining way to explore the city!
Great tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. Showing us the movie clips to match the location made the tour far more meaningful. He also gave some London site history as we walked by sites. Recommend! But wear good walking shoes and bring your water.
It was a great and informative tour!! A must for Harry Potter fans! The tour guide brought passion and made the experience that much better.
Absolutely amazing tour! It was an absolute joy and we didn’t even realize how far we were walking because the guide was so engaging!
It was a lot of walking but it was so much fun and we learned a lot more about where Harry Potter was filmed.
This was an amazing tour. Our guide showed us so much about where scenes were filmed and where inspiration came from. He also taught me how to use the tube. Overall great small group tour that showed me so much about London and the world of Harry Potter.
This was a wonderful tour that took us into back alleys, little streets and markets that were scenes in the Harry Potter movies. We never would have found these on our own. Our guide did a fabulous job of pointing out and providing historical facts about other landmarks we passed. This is a three walking tour with a couple of underground rides thrown in. You must be able to walk on uneven sidewalks and do stairs. Wear very comfortable walking shoes and take water to hydrate along the way. There is an opportunity to shop in the beginning of the tour for Harry Potter souvenirs.
Best HP Tour in London, hands down!
We had an absolutely fabulous Harry Potter tour in London! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and made the entire experience come alive. At each stop, he showed us scenes from the movies on his iPad along with behind-the-scenes photos, allowing us to compare the real locations to what appeared on screen. His attention to detail and passion for Harry Potter made the tour both entertaining and informative. Whether you’re a lifelong Harry Potter fan or just enjoy learning about movie-making, this tour is a must-do. Seeing the iconic locations throughout London while hearing the stories behind them was such a fun experience. We loved every minute of it and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London!
This was a great experience for the ultimate Potter fan! Guide is very knowledgeable about the sights as well as the actors. He pulls up video of the exact scenes and offers to take photos of you in the same poses at the sights. Super fun time. Don't miss out!
This was extremely pleasant experience. The organizer of the tour was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Harry Potter. Recommend to everybody followers and not followers alike.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He also made sure to include historical facts about many of the sites we visited, which made the tour that much more memorable! Would definitely recommend this tour to any Harry Potter fans who also want to learn a little more about the city.

Very beautiful! The Guide, Rubèn, is excellent and very simpatic. He shows intresting places and gives many information about Harry Potter and the films. You see little streets and hidden corners of London.
One of favorite tours of the trip! You get to see such fun, major sites of London with a super fun and passionate guide giving fun facts about HP and showing movie clips from areas around the city. I would recommend this 10000%!!!
Super guide, not only did we get to see Harry Potter’s London but also the guide showed us other great spots and shared interesting facts with us.
The trip was very interesting. Our guide was not only telling us stories but also showing parts of movies takes in London. Our family recommends tris trip a lot :)
The tour guide was so prepared, organized and knowledgeable about Harry Potter and London!! He covered so much by starting at the King’s cross station and allows us to take breaks. Lol! The Harry Potter store was great and taught us how to use the trains. Loved the other Harry Potter locations including the Borough market and a few London bridges, etc. We wanted to say hello again from Canada to the tour guide and we hope to see him again!
First, we were delivered to the incorrect address and had to walk 15 minutes to the correct location, however, Ruben was lovely to maw sure we arrived at the correct spot, he waited for us, he gave us the same introduction that the group received and then we joined the rest of the group for the remainder of the tour. Ruben, a huge fan of Harry Potter was very knowledgeable, took great care in making sure we all felt included and engaged. He was kind and very professional. We thank Ruben for his time, expertise and his kindness towards us during our tour. Terry & Monique California
Ruben was an excellent guide, he was knowledgeable all things Harry Potter (and little extras!); he took us through specific filming locations in local London. The tour itself was a very enjoyable walk and train ride around the city. He also arranges the tour in Spanish for those that are interested.
Excellent and extensive tour. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the films. His showing of movie clips associated with the places we visited made the tour more enjoyable.
We absolutely loved this tour! I am not a Harry Potter fan but went bc my sister is and we equally loved it! Ruben was so knowledgeable and I loved that he shared clips of the movie throughout the tour. He also shares other facts about the city. This was a great way to see a lot of London in a short period of time, highly recommend!
Robin was very knowledgeable. We went to places that only a few would think about. He is very nice especially when we had to wait for others to catch up. Overall would recommend this walking tour!
We did this tour today . Reuben was an amazing guide .He provides all kinds of interesting information about locations in the movies and inspirations for scenes in the movies. We also walked past many interesting places in London. It let us experience many different areas of London. He gave us lots of time and answered all our questions eve if they weren’t about Harry Potter. Reuben is very knowledgeable about all the Harry Potter movies and we highly recommend this tour. Do it early in your visit to London so you learn where you might want to return to.
Visiting from the US. This is the BEST Tour Ever. Don't even look at the other ones because they can't compare. I truly enjoyed myself. Now I was tired 😂 from walking a lot, but it was so worth it. I did the tour by myself but had a small amazing group of nice folks . We were able to see clips of the movie on the tablet as we were looking at it in person. Went ALL over the city and traveled the Underground. He was patient and kind as I had to use the restroom a million times 😂. Well worth the $30 bucks or more. Thanks so much!!
Our guide was absolutely exceptional! We saw so many amazing places in London and our kids (10, 7, 3 yrs) enjoyed the walking and the pace was perfect. Really cannot recommend this tour enough!
Excellent tour. Not only about Harry Potter but highlights of London Rubin was FABULOUS he made the tour so interesting and the pace was great Rubin’s passion for Harry Potter was contagious. I went for my 13 year old granddaughter who loved the tour and I ended up enjoying it as well. Highly recommend.
Great tour! So communicative too and patient with my family. Absolutely recommend. Lots of walking and 2 tube rides so make sure to have a credit card ready for tap on your phone to easily do the underground. Also recommend making dinner reservations in Covent Garden for around 845pm once you are done.
Very pleased with the guide's enthusiasm in Harry Potter. He was eager to tell the stories. Our family had a wonderful time to learn about it.
We absolutely loved the experience. We saw so many beautiful parts of London in such a short period. Our guide was wonderful.
