Absolutely Magical Harry Potter Tour with Sam! - Just completed this fantastic Harry Potter tour with Sam as our guide, and it exceeded all expectations! Sam was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining throughout the entire 2.5-hour experience.
The tour took us to amazing filming locations including Diagon Alley, the iconic stone wall entrance, and Scotland Yard. What made this tour truly special was visiting the actual movie locations - it felt like stepping right into the wizarding world!
Sam was exceptional - very clear and well-articulated, making it easy for everyone in the group to follow along and hear every detail. The group size was perfect and the organization was flawless from start to finish.
The real highlight was when Sam showed video clips from the films at each location. This was such a fun addition that really jogged our memory and helped us visualize the scenes that were filmed right where we were standing. Those magical moments made the experience unforgettable!
Even though we didn't have kids with us, I can definitely see why this tour is perfect for families, especially with kids joining free. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone - families, couples, or Harry Potter fans of any age.
No downsides whatsoever - this tour delivered everything promised and more. Sam made it an absolutely magical experience that brought the films to life. Highly recommended!

Amazing Harry Potter tour in London - The experience was wonderful, and the tour was definitely value for money. Kate kept us fully engaged for the full 3 hours of the tour and ensured everyone was involved despite the big crowd size.

Fun Harry Potter tour of london - Had a great time with Kate as our guide, she was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun, the only thing I would suggest to improve the tour is the meeting point, it says to meet at platform 9 and 3/4 however there are loads of tourists milling about and as the guides don’t wear anything to say they are our guides we found ourselves loitering trying to see who was standing around longest, maybe some form of high vis or lanyard to say they are with Viator would be helpful,. However once we found Kate we were off and the 3 hours flew by!

A highly enjoyable tour! - I took my 10 year old Harry Potter fan son on the 9.30am Sunday tour. This was a great time to visit as it was far quieter than other days and times in the city. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring both familiar and new parts of London while learning Potter film facts along the way. Kate was a friendly, informative and approachable guide who clearly enjoys leading the tours as much as the participants enjoy taking them. Thank you for a great morning, would highly recommend, even if you’re not a huge Potter fan!

Harry Potter tour - Amazing tour, our guide Oliver was very knowledgeable and funny and kept us engaged the whole time. He took the time to explain all the spots and gave us some history of London as well. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is a Harry Potter fan.

Tour for real Potter fans - We started the tour on a Wednesday afternoon. The guide was very friendly and you could tell that he is also a real Potter Head. (Very sympathetic)
He showed us shooting scenes from the film and explained how they shot the film. To illustrate, he additionally showed film scenes on his phone. He took us through London and showed us e.g. the Winkelgasse and the track 9 3/4.
He had a very good Insider.
Unfortunately, it had rained on our tour, but I think it was very good that we finished it despite the rain, we would not have to stop.
Overall I think the tour was very interesting and definitely recommended 👍🏻

Cititour under the topic Harry Potter. - The topic of this tour was Harry Potter. We have seen the Shop and the real Platform of the Movie and two places in the City. Then the Tour was a normal Citytour. Less Information about Harry Potter and a Guide who has a british slang. Difficuld for us as no nativ speakers. We left the tour on Trafalgersquare. The Tour was boring for us.
