Very interesting and funny tour with Monica

Very interesting and funny tour with Monica who was really a Harry Potter specialist. Also the time between one film location and the other was filled with many interesting details she told us. And to see the photos of the film exactly where the scenes were filmed was really great. So really recommendable!

Excellent experience.

Guide was great. It really made difference. He knows everything about Harry Potter, but on top of that he showed us a lot of other interesting sites on our way to specific Harry Potter sites. He also talked a lot about London and a couple of very interesting history of London facts. I had great time. Highly recommended.

Fantastic!

Amazing tour!! We almost missed it, but we called the company and the guide, Rhys, came back to find us! I think that went above and beyond and I am so glad we didn’t miss it! Not only did we get to see some of the places Harry Potter was filmed, which was amazing, but we got a ton of history of London as well! Rhys was amazing! A true Harry Potter fan who not only had a ton of knowledge about Harry Potter, but about London as well! Definitely one of the best things we did while in London! (Maybe the best!)
