Fun tour with lots of excellent HP info. - A nice walking tour with lots of trivia and little known info on a fun format. Try to stump the guide by asking questions, and you'll be surprised.

Great afternoon even in the rain - Ellie was great, it was a rainy afternoon but Ellie kept all engaged with her fantastic delivery of facts. We were a mixed group of Potter fans and non Potters but all had a great time. Learning some local knowledge and seeing some beautiful architecture.

Great tour! - The tour was great, Ellie was very knowledgeable. Having a house cup kept the tour interactive (and very competitive), would recommend for HP fans, films and books alike

Super tour guide Ellie - Friendly tour guide Ellie was very knowledgeable and as the tour was over 2 hours kept everyone engaged. The quiz was great fun and really tested everyone's Harry Potter knowledge, fun for families, encouraged mingling within the whole tour group with some healthy competition. Ellie also gave us some great recommendations for other places to visit in York.

Good Harry Potter Tour - Ellie was a great tour guide for the Harry Potter Walking Tour. It was a large group which Ellie managed well and she really knew her stuff. We have 2 boys (7 and 10) who both loved the history of York and the HP facts. We did expect the tour to take us into “Diagon Alley” and the HP shop but that was something you did after the tour ended. Rated slightly lower due to us not getting an animated scoreboard, video clips, consume pieces or reenactments included in our tour which were detailed in the tour description. We also didn’t have any reference to the Hogwarts Express Platform. Still think this tour is well worth the money, but hope this review sets people’s expectations.
