Alex Scamander gave a very enjoyable tour, filled with Harry Potter filming knowledge. The was a good mix of other general, literary and film trivia too. The tour was well paced and suited both adults and kids. We had a fantastic time and my 9 year old said it was one of his favourite activities out of a Harry Potter filled weekend

Harry Trotter was our tour guide and he was excellent! A good mix of local knowledge and Harry Potter fun. Harry himself was great and made sure to connect with everyone on the tour which was great.
Guide Harry Trotter was knowledgeable entertaining and interested in all members of the group
It was really lovely, I know a lot of the facts, but still really enjoyed the tour. Definitely would recommend
Alex Scamander was the perfect guide. LOVED the whole experience of seeing the books and crannies of London pertinent to the Harry Potter saga and Alex’s knowledge was second to none. Can totally recommend for any Harry Potter fans who want to nerd out for a couple of hours. It was brilliant!
Absolutely fantastic, fun, lots of history facts too. Connor was so good as the guide. We loved it and would do a similar one again
Great guide . Acted everything out and lots of funny voices I went with my granddaughter and we both had an amazing time 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 I am very deaf and I could hear every word he said. Great voice projection. Funny, knowledgeable and interesting. Highly recommend
We had Alex for our tour. He was excellent. Knowledgeable, passionate and clearly a real HP fan. It was very much enjoyed by the whole family on my daughters birthday. Thank you from the Barry Island group. 62442.
THE BEST guide, the best experience - thank you, Harry Trotter!
Full of amazing information. For all ages! Learned so much and thought i knew a lot about Harry Potter trivia. We took the tour in the rain and still enjoyed it!
Such a fun “Muggles” walking tour! Alexander was full of interesting and fun facts about HP, and he welcomed questions about both the movies and the books! He was friendly, engaging, and it was so fun to be on his tour! Thank you for a fun afternoon walking around London and learning lots of insider knowledge!
We did the tour with Geebs, and it was truly lovely! We had kind of mixed knowledge about Harry Potter, but Geebs managed to make it great across expertise levels. And she shared a lot of extra background knowledge, not just the pure HP content, which we found particularly nice. Great photo spots and some extra lunch tips at the end included. Worth every penny. Thank you, Geebs, five stars! :-)
Alex was great! He really made the experience unique and was very charismatic. He truly has a love for Harry Potter and the history of London.
We brought our 7year old grandson on this tour as he is a big fan of Harry Potter. Our guide was Harry Trotter who was fantastic from beginning to end, filling us with facts and fun trivia. We have lived in London many years and we learnt so much and visited whole new areas as well. Highly recommended
Our guide was Jeebs Lovegood. The entire tour was fantastic! She kept kids and adults engaged, took our pictures, gave great tips for visiting London, had tons of info on Harry Potter books and movies, history and JK Rowling. The two hours flew by. Highly highly recommend.
Our guide “Harry Trotter” was everything you would hope for in a guide - knowledgeable, funny, and great at connecting with us individually and as a group. It was not just great info about Harry Potter but also about London history. It was the most value for any tour we have been on. More than 5 stars!!
Jeebs Lovegood (sp?) gave a great tour. And what a perfect name for the guide for this type of tour. Really well paced, very informative, a lot of fun. Highly recommend!
We loved this tour. Alex was fantastic. He was funny and interesting and we would definitely recommend this tour. It takes place in a really cool part of the city too. We all really enjoyed it and we represent a range of ages.
Fantastic guide and very interesting and funny tour.
Thank you Jako Malfoy for the lovely tour around London, I really enjoyed myself. This tour was highly reviewed and indeed it did not disappoint. I loved the Harry Potter trivia questions that were woven into the tour as well as the general historical facts that were very interesting (peek inside the oldest bar in the world, hear about the gold vaults in the bank, see St. Paul's cathedral reflected in the water, walk the Milennium bridge). It was lovely to see the different kinds of people joining, young, old, and from all over the world. It's really a fun way to see more of London and imagine how people lived in the 17, 18, 19th century. Two things I noticed: I would have liked to know upfront that there is a bathroom break halfway along the walking tour. I wouldn't have been as stressed about drinking anything before the tour. :) We were also done at 12:35 instead of 13:00, so the tour was a little shorter than advertised, although I can imagine this changes depending on the group size and composition. All in all, definitely recommend.
Our tour was with Jako Malfloy, who did an amazing job. He was easy-going, fun, and super knowledgeable. We loved the interactive quiz and all the bonus content! We highly recommend it for families and Harry Potter fans. Tip: brush up on all the deep trivia before you come!!
We enjoyed the Muggle Walk with Connor as a very good guide into the Harry Potter film sites.
The tour guide is typically the make-or-break reason. Here, he was exceptional. An actor, intelligent, funny, personable, played to the entire audience, was on the lookout for unique features to make the tour special. We met at the spot indicated and he was on time and early! It was a beautiful place to start and one could arrive early to enjoy some of the surrounding shops and eateries in the market. It is quite a heavy walking tour so put on your most comfortable pair. You end far from where you began but you can take the Tube at both ends of the tour. Just a bunch of fun! Recommend highly. We went after our visit to the Studio and it was cool to tie the two together. The rest of the tour group did this before their Studio visit. Seems like either option is good since it’s not spoiling anything.
It was a fun experience! We enjoyed going the walk through with the movie photos to show where we were in the moment! The guide was a lot of fun too. Loved that we ended at the Borough Market - highly recommend
Lovely experience, Harry Trotter was an excellent guide! We got a lot of Harry Potter trivia as well as some general interesting London facts. Great value for money, definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience! Highly recommend. Harry Trotter was the ultimate tour guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Don't miss!
Very cool tour with 'Jake-o Malfoy' he was awesome and made the tour so much fun! The time flew by and wished it went for another 2hrs! My mum doesnt know Harry Potter but did the tour just to do it with us - and she looooooved it! Not only is it super cool Harry Potter things, you also see and learn all about differnet parts of London you may not have seen on your own - the little lanes and alleys we walked down were the best and we definitely would never had come across them without doing this tour! We had our 3 teens and they loved it as well...definitely worth doing while you're in London!
This tour was so much fun and our tour guide “Harry Trotter” was amazing!! He was hilarious and did a great job interacting with everyone. I would absolutely recommend this tour to others!
Calling all Potter Heads! You must join Alex Scamander for this robust walking tour of locations featured in the HP films. We laughed and learned and saw places we would otherwise never know about to visit. It was truly delightful and exceeded our expectations.
Harry did a fantastic job. He not only told us interesting tidbits about Harry Potter (posing a question to see if anyone in the group knew the answer). Congratulating correct answers and giving the answers if we were stumped. Also, as we walked around parts of London, he pointed out Harry Potter locations and took us down small alleys that we would not have discovered on our own. My husband and I would highly recommend this tour.
We really enjoyed this tour! Our guide Geebs was amazing, it was the perfect blend of HP locations and behind-the-scenes stories, with visits to London landmarks. Highly recommend!
This is basically a walking tour of London, but with Harry Potter facts. I absolutely loved it. I got a lot of amazing pictures. It is kind of a long walk, which I liked, but fair warning to other people. Our guide was super nice, funny and knowledgeable. I was debating between this and a food tour. This tour was perfect because it started and ended in two different markets, and I did my own food tour as well afterwards.
Harry Topper (not Harry Potter unfortunately…LOL) was our tour guide and what a fantastic person to lead the Tour for Muggles The Ultimate Harry Potter Walking Tour in London. Harry was engaging, entertaining, and truly made the tour memorable sharing Potter fan facts, trivia, and pointing out actual movie locations or places throughout London that were inspirations for the films. I would highly recommend this tour for any Potter fan young or old. I truly want to rewatch the movies and read the books all over again after this tour! Loved it.
This was a great way to learn about this beautiful part of London while seeing the sights that inspired JK Rowling to write the books! Lots of locations to recognize with trivia and interesting facts along the way! Perfect for adults and children who are comfortable walking a long distance for a few hours. HARRY TROTTER was an amazing tour guide. Witty, charming and knowledgeable, all the things that you want in a great tour guide!! It’s a must for Harry Potter fans.
Alex was enthusiastic, funny, entertaining and very knowledgeable about both Harry Potter and London in general.
This was such a fun tour. Harry Trotter was a delight and very knowledgeable. We learned about the HP books & films as well as London itself.
Amazing time. Our tour guide (sorry forgot her name) lovely Muggle red-haired girl. She was amazing. Very informative we learned lots about the movie-places it was filmed, very theatrical, she played the part well. I would recommend this tour for the Potter fans. :)
Got to see a few cool sights and a handful of facts but tour guide seemed to be more concerned with telling people to stay together and watch her than making it fun and Harry Potter magical
Our daughter is a Harry Potter fanatic, which required us to include this Muggles tour during our London vacation. Harry Trotter (our tour guide) was quite entertaining and informative, and included London history beyond the world of Harry Potter. He made the experience very interactive, and made it a point to include everyone in the group. Bravo Henry!!
Fun and knowledgeable guide. Great filming spots seen of Harry Potter in London.
We had so much fun on this tour! Our guide, Geebs, was absolutely fantastic. She was so engaging, entertaining, and made the whole tour feel interactive and fun. You could tell she really loves Harry Potter and knew how to keep everyone involved. Would 100% recommend this tour to any Harry Potter fan, we had an amazing time!
The tour only had one problem. The guide - Geebs - started by saying that she didn't like JK Rowling because of her stance on trans rights. Now, you may agree or disagree with JK Rowling's views on this issue but we weren't there to hear about that - and certainly not our guide's views about it. We were there to hear about Harry Potter. And lot's not forget there was, in our group, one child present and, presumably, many more at other groups. In normal circumstances, I would have said something, since I hadn't paid to hear someone else's unsolicited views on trans rights. But I didn't want to spoil the day, so I said nothing. But please tell Geebs to shut the **** up about this on future tours.
We had a brilliant and informative experience on Alex’s tour, full of interesting facts about Harry Potter and much more! Seeing parts of London you would never normally see. Would highly recommend to all muggles looking to understand the wizard world!
Geebs Lovegood (loved this awesome coincidence) is the best guide we've ever found so far. Super precise, prepared and fun. We learnt many things about HP we didn't know before, although we're huge fan. Great walk and tour. Geebs delivers some great acting while the tour, which is amazing
Geebs was an absolutely amazing tour guide. She is well knowledgeable about the history of London and of course, the wizarding world. I learned plenty of fun facts about film production, the cast, and set inspirations. The tour was super fun and Geebs was incredibly interactive, a must do if you’re a Harry Potter fan!
We had a great time on this tour! We are a family of four with two kids ages 7 & 10, who both enjoyed it. The tour guide was fun, friendly, talkative, interactive and everyone on the tour was engaged.
An amazing experience! Our guide, Geebs, truly made us feel like we had stepped right into the wizarding world—just surrounded by Muggles! 🧙♂️ She kept everything super fun, entertaining, and deeply informative. The highlight was definitely her brilliant, spot-on imitation of Professor McGonagall! 😂 She is unbelievably knowledgeable about both Harry Potter and London’s actual history. Highly recommended for kids and adults alike!
Recommended, we enjoyed our time
We took the tour as a family together with our 12 year old son. Our guide Alex Scamander was perfect - an infinite treasure chest of entertaining and fascinating tidbits about Harry Potter, London, and other movies, acting out key scenes of the Harry Potter movies. The tour was one of our highlights in London. Good fun and definitely highly recommended! 🌞
The tour was fun and informative.
