Our tour guide was Bobby! He is brilliant, very passionate and an excellent tour guide, it was so much fun, I learn a lot, it was never boring and so funny. I laughed a lot with his jokes! it was a magical and memorable experience with lots of Easter eggs not only about Harry Potter but London too.

Itinerary
The Palace Theatre is home to the stage play, The Cursed Child, that continues the story years after the books ended.
We will visit House of Spells, a Harry Potter themed store in Westminster where you can buy any Harry Potter merch you like the look of!
London's grand central square, with Nelson's Column and the fountains, plus its own scattering of film and location history worth pointing out along the way. Trafalgar Square features in the Harry Potter films several times, as well as being the site of the film premiere for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2!
We will take a stroll along Charing Cross Road, which is where Diagon Alley is located in the world of Harry Potter. We will stop at a few side streets that inspired J K Rowling's writing.
Where the film premieres brought out the crowds and the cast, year after year. Still one of London's liveliest squares, especially at night.

Thank - you for a lovely LGBTQ tour!! I would like to recommend Mark Cox from the LGBTQ tour,, besides the Sherlock holmes tour it's probably been the best tour I've been on I could of done the tour... Date of experience: October 2026 Id also like to thank Becky for a really magical tour on The Harry potter tour,, taking us all down the darl little alleys that were an idea for the harry potter films,, the lovely family's I met on the tour,, getting us to use our wands for the family photo& taking us to Greengotts Harry potter bank!!
Absolutely fantastic tour! Bobby was professional, funny, friendly, and engaging from start to finish. He kept the tour moving at a great pace, shared tons of interesting Harry Potter and London facts, and clearly knew his stuff. He was always happy to answer questions not only about Harry Potter, but London in general, and made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommended — a great guide who made the experience even more magical!
Very great tour, we learned a lot of stuff. And I was very glad Hufflepuff won ! 🙃 Thank you Becky !
Awesome tour and a great guide.
Bobby was brilliant! Super friendly and extremely artistic! The tour itself was interesting and I’m honestly sad that it ended. Also it didn’t even feel like a tour but like a walk with a friend who was part of the movie or something. Truly truly great!
The tour was very fun and informative, George was friendly and very helpful, he taught us lots of new things. Every location was unexpected and interesting to learn about. Would definitely recommend to people visiting London interested in Harry potter. 😁
Richard was an excellent tour guide! I loved how he met us with a red umbrella and in front of the Cursed Child show. He was fun and light hearted with a ton of knowledge. He made it so fun and the experience was just what we were looking for.
George was top notch. Quirky places, amusing anecdotes, an apparently encyclopedic familiarity with all things Potter. What’s not to like?
George was incredible! Highly knowledgeable and entertaining. Cannot recommend enough especially after running the marathon a couple of days before.
It was super with Bobby! Interesting and funny
Tour was great! Walked all around London.
Great Trip! Guide George was very kind and hat a lot of great infos (also very funny). Would definitly do it again.
Ash is a great, very passionate tourguide and gave us an entertaining tour with lots of valuable insights to the filming and locations!
It was a really nice and funny tour with Ben, highly recommended :). We walked through a lot of movie places and we learned a lot about the making of the films.
Ben was just amazing! absolutely entertaining! facts and fun! He knows everything you wanted to know and more. Loved it!
It was a Great Tour With an Even greater Tour Guide Big Ben :) such a pleasure to see the Spots and ideas behind the Movie and a couple of more things about london
Very good experience, Ben was super nice and he made us be as excited as him while hearing about all harry potter stories.
Nathan was an excellent tour guide and gave a lot of fun facts along the way! He was very knowledgeable and charismatic. Would definitely do more of London with a Local tours!!
Becky was so good in explaining everything. We loved the tour!!! The questions were also really fun and entertaining. We would love to go again!
With two die hard Harry Potter fans and two that had no knowledge of the story, we all were captivated and loved every moment. A perfect blend of movie sites, fun facts, and Harry Potter lore.
Im just saying what my tour guide, Ash wanted us to say if the tour was good lol. Didn't kill me, 5 stars :). Hope u see this Ash. Byeee
Becky was the best tour guide ever! She was fun, caring and I can tell she likes harry potter. She asked questions, and used words like “muggle” and spells like “obliviate!” And gryfindor won the house cup!
Becky was so amazing! She included us all and gave us a chance to answer questions about Harry Potter! I highly recommend!
Our tour guide, Becky, was amazing! She led us through all of the Harry Potter sites and it was very interesting to see some of the actual locations where the movie was filmed or inspired by. She also had an ipad to play the movie clips from those locations. Interspersed she shared London facts and there were HP quiz questions which gave each 'house' points during the tour. She met us in front of the theatre as promised and we started on time. We were a mix of families, singles and couples, about 20 in total. It was just about 2hrs long ending in a beautiful park. She did a great job entertaining us and even made fans out of my 15 yr old and my 80 yr old mom who had never even heard of Harry Potter! Highly recommend.
Really informative & with the typical British humor all along. Well done! I recommend this without hesitation. We attended the Harry Potter walking tour but it included some interesting facts about London as well. Thank you for the experience, Bobby!
Bobby was amazing. He was fun and engaging and it was a great tour. Highly recommend this Harry Potter tour if you're a fan.
This was a nice first-day-in-London experience and a great way to start. Ben is a true Harry Potter expert, and as it happens also deeply knowledgeable on British history. Strongly recommend this company created by guides.
We had a lot of fun on the Harry Potter tour with Ben. Even though some of the sights we visited didn't look like they had much to do with the theme at first glance, Ben shared a lot of interesting and funny trivia on the production of the movies and J.K. Rowlings inspirations. We are not native English speakers but had no problems following along.
I took the Harry Potter walking tour and it was so much fun!! Very informative in many ways, from Harry Potter facts to information about other films and London in general, which I loved! It was a great route, not too long or short. Our guide Colin was AMAZING! He had such a great energy, and was very knowledgable about everything he showed us. Such a nice guy. Admittedly, I am not the biggest Harry Potter fan (I love it, but I don't know a lot) but this tour was still super enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone, Harry Potter fan or not.
Had a great time doing the Harry Potter tour, guide did an amazing job. Gave plenty of time to take pictures and look around.
Colin was very knowledgeable with Harry Potter history and enjoys incorporating British humour to give you the English experience. He’s enthuastic and we enjoyed the tour. Thank you Colin.
Harry Potter Walking Tour Nathan was a great tourguide. He left us through iconic places, showed us the magic inside of London streets and shared a lot of secrets about Harry Potter.
Rob was amazing and enthusiastic, he kept all of the tour really interesting, the time went by so fast. Definitely a must if you love Harry Potter!
Becky was amazing! The tour ran for two hours (We did Harry Potter) She was fun, engaging and very knowledgeable of both London and HP. Kids really enjoyed it.
Wonderfully well documented (photos), respectfull of the inhabitants ( the tour is using residential passages and so Bobby was speaking lower and was making us not standing for too long at the same place, just as he did we were in courcel street)... Our guide, Bobby, is living his comments.... That's extraordinarily plaisant!!!! Thanks so much, Carole
Went in Harry Potter tour. Good fun and Becky, our guide, was great. We visited inspirations for different places from the films. Interesting facts about books, JK and films.
🦉🎶🎭🌳🎞 firstly I didn’t realise that the tour it wasn’t in the theatre 🎭 and was outside walking about to film 🎞 locations I didn’t read that you meet the guide outside with the red umbrella 🌂 I found out later also you are asked to donate if you like although is said free lucky it was dry weather conditions but cold 🥶 I needed toilets 🚽 but I found the tour was interesting 🤨about the film locations and other info and the people friendly I’m not rich and can’t afford the theatre 🎭 prices to see the show I’m a film 🎞 cinema lover and prefer films also dvd 🍿 to books 📚 Nathan put on a good performance no offence thanks for turning up I would recommend it on good days 🥶 keep safe everyone peace be y’ll without prejudice from peter e 🦉👌👏📚🎞🍿🎶🌂
Nathan is lovely, he made as an excellent tour very funny, really enjoyed it, if coming back to London will do other with him for sure
Did the Harry Potter tour with my teenage son. Absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Bobby (rhymes with Dobby) was highly entertaining and very knowledgeable both about Harry Potter and also about London. Such a fun time.
Ben was amazing! 5/5 definitely recommended for Potterheads or just tourists that want to learn a few things about the wizarding world!
Very compact walking tour but at the same time very involving into the world of creation of Harry Potter story. Absolutely didn’t get tired as everything passed in one breath
Great tour. Richard was really knowledgeable about the Harry Potter world and made the tour interesting and entertaining. Would definitely recommend for Potter fans
The Harry Potter walking tour was great! Our guide, Becky, was lively and fun. We saw so many film locations as well as locations that inspired the writing of the books. My Potterhead daughter said it was one of the best things we did in London.
I joined the Harry Potter tour with Bobby today. It was really fun and he did an amazing job. He showed us interesting spots that served JK Rowling for inspiration or were actual filming spots from the movies. Even without the Harry Potter attachment, those are all lovely London spots to see. And he added interesting anecdotes about the Harry Potter actors or the book characters and also inserted some London fun facts along the way. He has a great voice and presentation style and made us laugh a lot. Absolutely recommend
Excellent tour, Ash is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. Enjoyed the walking tour of Harry Potter very much.
Nathan did an amazing job at the harry potter tour. So hilarious and knowledgeable. Honestly he may be the best tour guide on these walking tours I’ve ever had
I had a wonderful time on the Harry Potter London tour today! The experience was lovely, and our guide, Nathan, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and enthusiastic, bringing the stories to life.
I went to London for the first time and booked this Harry Potter tour with London with a local and it was amazing!! I would like to share that our guide Bobby was fantastic, spontaneous and really cool! He conducted our guide with magic in his eyes! It was an really really enjoyable and magical afternoon!!!
Sam was a great tour guide, with many fun stories to bring Harry Potter in London to life! Myself and my daughters, aged 7 and 9 years, enjoyed it thoroughly.
