Original Harry Potter Locations Tour - Guided Tour Of London

Really brilliant tour round some of the key sites in Edinburgh connected to Harry Potter. Robbie our really brilliant guide was full of information and made it super fun.

Lots of walking and experience taking the tube and how to purchase tickets for kids and adults for one day

I love this so much and it was just nice to be on a tour with a guy who was as nerdy about Harry Potter as I am. It was nice being led by someone who actually enjoys the books and the movies and so knowledgeable. I would mention that I am deathly afraid of heights and bridges so a little forewarning that we would be going over the bridge would've been appreciated and I would've did some deep breathing and been prepared.

I think this was one of the highlights of our trip to London! Our guide Murray was really excellent! Thanks so much. I was on a trip to London with my 20 year old daughter and just had a few days. We both love Harry Potter and it was so interesting to see the beautiful sights and architecture around the city. Murray was informative, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Not just about Harry Potter specifically but pointing out some very interesting landmarks. Highly recommend this, a superb value.

Interesting but not as advertised. I have taken dozens of walking tours across the globe and this one was just OK. Couple of things that threw us off: the guide met us at the front of the church, not the back as mentioned on the ticket, and he was not holding a blue flag. If I hadn't walked up to a stranger with an iPad I would have missed the tour. There are zero reenactments as stated in the info and some of the quizzes the guide got wrong. I could tell he wasn't a Harry Potter fan. The thing that really bothered me is he wasn't concerned with our safety crossing the streets. I was nearly hit by a driver as I crossed the street following him (there were only 4 of us in the tour). I have been on other tours where the guide faces the street to ensure each traveler makes it across safely. The other issue is they don't mention anywhere that you take the Underground. If I'm on a tour, I need to know if there will be an additional expense. I have no problem with that, but need to know up front. A couple with us who didn't speak English well, had a hard time entering and exiting the Underground and our guide was no help. The sites on the tour were OK, but I didn't see Kings Cross Station or Picadilly Square which I felt were more iconic then the sites we did see.

Murray was very informative and friendly! My family loved his energy and vibe throughout the whole tour. Great personality and definitely involved us into the tour

Murray did a great job showing us the HP sites. Loved that we all got to use the Sorting hat!! Go Ravenclaw!

We had a great tour guide called Louis, and the tour ended up being just 2 of us because no one else booked that time slot! Louis was so kind and told us interesting facts about Harry Potter and London in general. It was so fun watching the movie clips on the iPad as he showed us each spot around the city. He went out of his way to show us places he mentioned the tour, too. We would definitely do this again!

We had a great time with the great guide Louis. He was very patient answering tons of questions from two ten-year-old Harry Potter fans from Iceland.

Martin is an amazing guide. He make us play like in the movie, a correct answer and we gain point for our houses. Also, he took the time to show us videos from the movie so we could remember each location.

Murray is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, a local and familiar with the theatre/filming scene, as well as (naturally) the Harry Potter movies/trivia.

A great experience to see the sights of London, as well as filming locations for the Harry Potter films.

The young lady Bianca was very informed about the Harry Potter movies and also about other parts of London

We saw places where they shot parts of the movies. The guide not only pointed them out and explained it, but he also brought an iPad and showed us the exact scenes, which made it so much easier to connect with the movies.

Timing the dinner with the visit is crucial. We did not realize that it only takes about an hour to ninety minutes tops to go through the displays. We would have had to wait two hours for our dinner time slot.

Nic was wonderful! A great mix of humor and history with a lot of context for even those with little Potter knowledge!

Great experience for adults and kids alike. Our tour guide, Murray, did a great job. He was interesting, informative and funny. Definitely recommend this tour!

We enjoyed our walkabout very much. Found ourselves returning on our own to some highlights we would have missed had it not been for Louis.

Louis was awesome. Patient, organized and very knowledgeable. HP quiz through during the walk were fun. Also pointing other London landmarks was appreciated.

We had a fantastic time traveling all over London with Oliver, our wonderfully cheerful, friendly, sweet and humorous tour guide! We learned so much on the tour about where Harry Potter filmed certain scenes and how to recreate some iconic photos from movie stills. Lots of separate fun facts about London history too! We highly recommend this tour! Loads of fun.

Nice little walking tour of HP filming locations and architectural inspirations for the set design. Fun facts peppered throughout. Guide Louis was excellent!

Confession - I have never seen Harry Potter in my life so I was a bit apprehensive this might not be for me! I loved it though! Guide really friendly and informative and I would definitely recommend!

It was an interesting and fun tour of sites featured in the films with video clips to illustrate how they featured. An engaging and friendly guide made the experience a great pleasure.

Excellent walk. Interesting and knowledgeable guide. Fun quiz along the way. Various clips from the films shown.

We loved this tour on our first full day in London. I’m 50, my son is 14 and Grandma loved it too though she isn’t even a Potter fan. We got to see parts of the city we never would have and we had so much fun with the Potter and London trivia! Nick was an awesome tour guide! 😀

Our tour guide, Nic, was fantastic! Fun, informative, and very knowledgeable. He not only highlighted Harry Potter sites, but added in some other London history during the tour. Our two kids really loved it, and my husband and I did too! I highly recommend this tour and especially Nic as a guide.

Sophie (aka Edna from the Indestrucibles) was a very nice french guide giving a lot of information!

Was a nice tour of areas of London we hadn’t been to yet. Fun to see some of the locations used in the filing. Our tour guide was very engaging and kept giving us interesting facts along the way.

It was so fun! Really clever to sort everyone into the houses, ask questions throughout the tour and then see which house won the “house cup” (tour cup). Our tour guide Donatella did an amazing job! She was kind and funny. Thank you for this experience, it felt magical.

Our guide, Murray, was awesome! He was so knowledgeable and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. He gave us some non-HP related fun facts about the city as well. I am not a huge HP fan (booked it mainly for my daughter), but he even kept my interest. I appreciated the videos and photos shown on his iPad to better explain what we were seeing. Would definitely recommend!

I had a spare evening and love Harry Potter so wanted to do the tour. I was a solo participant and Louis made me very welcome.

So fun and interesting! We really enjoyed it!

Louis was great and very knowledgeable! He was super friendly and made the tour very fun. Lots of really cool places to see.

We had such a wonderful time on the Harry Potter tour, and Louis made it an unforgettable experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the Harry Potter filming locations and behind-the-scenes stories, but what really made the tour special was how genuinely warm and personable he was. Louis went above and beyond by pointing out other interesting sights around London that we never would have noticed on our own, which made the tour feel like so much more than just a Harry Potter experience. He was happy to answer all of our questions—not just about Harry Potter, but also about life in London—and his enthusiasm and approachable nature made every conversation enjoyable. By the end of the tour, it felt like we'd spent the afternoon exploring the city with a friendly local. If you're considering a Harry Potter tour, we can't recommend Louis highly enough. He made a great tour truly exceptional.

It is interesting, good timing, friendly and well organised guide and interactive activities. Very well informed about other attractions of the city.

Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. He was helpful with regard to Harry Potter and normal London tips. We had a small group, but he was sure to keep us all together and talked to each of us about where we were from. There was a fun quiz and it was a great time.

Can’t really say how the actual tour ways. We had a lot of trouble finding the location- literally ran everywhere as we were on foot and a lot of roads were closed- made for a very stressful morning! Left 1.5 hours early to make it on time and still couldn’t find it. Tried to message the tour operator a couple of times but they never did answer. I understand that our poor sense of direction and rail/road closures aren’t the tour operators fault- but at least a reply to messages after the tour would have been nice.

Very cool tour for Harry Potter fans. I like that we were a smallish group of people. The trivia quiz was fun too. Our guide Louis was chill and very knowledgeable about London.

Have fun walking about London and learning about all the places used to film the Harry Potter movies. You’ll never view the movies the same again as you’ll remember things from this tour. I loved the extra info I learned! Thanks Jack for being such a fun and energetic guide bringing the movies more to life than ever before!

Robbie was awesome at guiding us through the city. He was very mindful that no one got left behind and had so much knowledge of the city & anything Harry Potter!

It was a great tour, all throughout the important Harry Potter movie scenes, very entertaining and knowledgeable

Murray the guide was fun and filled with information about the Wizarding world of Harry Potter. He pulled his tablet out at every stop to show us the scene in the movie that was filmed where we’re standing, and was able to discuss the similarities and differences between the books and the movies. We had quite the adventure, and I highly recommend this tour to kids and adults alike.

Our tour with Louis was great! Very knowledgeable about the movies and history of London. He was great with our kids as they talked his ear off 🙂. Would recommend!

The tour guide shows clips of the movie at the spots that it was filmed at in London. They tell you about more than just Harry Potter on the tour, such as London’s both history, and facts.

Had a great time and Ivan was a wonderful guide - loved the trivia!

Cool and fun. You don’t have to be a Harry Potter fan to enjoy the tour. Louis made it interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience.

We wanted something a bit different than a normal walking tour which our teen can find a bit boring. We all enjoyed reading and watching the Harry Potter series when she was a kid so decided to try this tour. It was a fun and interesting tour of London. We saw parts of the city we wouldn’t have found on our own. Our guide Nic was funny and easy going. We were running late for the tour (by about 10 min) so I called the number provided and was provided the next location to go to catch up up with the group which was greatly appreciated!!

It was such a fun and entertaining walk through some of the filming locales for various HP movies. I had a great time with the trivia, being sorted into houses, walking on the bridge and soaking in the city.

Arne was an amazing and passionate tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and entertaining through out the entire 2 hr. Tour.
