- Antony R0 contributionsDoctor Who walking tour of LondonAn excellent tour with Law who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic the whole time despite the horrible rain would recommend to all WhoviansWritten December 1, 2024
- T7087GBjeffreys0 contributionsFantastic Bridget Jones (and sightseeing London) TourWe really like the Bridget Jones movies and found out about this tour in London. We had a great time and made a lot of pictures. Our tour guide Fiona was really good. She received the Bridget bunny ears from three ladies in the group and this was a good way of following her in the busy time of the year. In all the spots of the tour she shows a picture of the film and knows the lyrics by heart😁 We had a great time and this tour is also great for sightseeing London😉Written November 30, 2024

- 355karism0 contributionsWonderful tour guide and fab tour! A fun day outMe and my mum went on the Sherlock Holmes tour, this was a gift for my mum who is a big fan of Sherlock Holmes. Our tour guide Fiona was absolutely wonderful! Very friendly, funny and told us so much we didn’t know about the older Sherlock homes films and the new bbc series. Highly recommend this tour for any Sherlock fans !Written November 23, 2024
- Guy T0 contributionsEnjoyable Sherlock Walking TourSteph was our guide for the walking tour. She was knowledgeable about many versions of Sherlock films, TV series and the books, plus a whole host of other interesting history about the places we saw on the tour. She made the experience with her enthusiasm and humour.Written November 17, 2024
- RCD19710 contributionsDr Who with LawWe came from Australia and this was a must do on my husband’s itinerary he is a big Whovian. The tour was enjoyable but ran overtime with Law. I don’t like Dr Who but I enjoyed it. We were then rushing to get back to our hotel as the tour had gone 30 minutes over the actual time of the tour. Law left members of our group behind another Brit tour we did the same thing happened but that time it was us that was left behind. Maybe Brit Tours need to get their guides to make sure everyone is with them and not getting left behind.Written November 16, 2024
- RCD19710 contributionsTour interesting Tour Guide not goodWe travelled from Australia and this was a must do thing on my itinerary. We did the tour on the 2nd March. I can’t remember the tour guides name but he went too fast and at one point of the tour he didn’t wait for the whole group and we didn’t know where the rest of the group had gone being first time visitors to London left a bad feeling. We eventually found them but had to tell the tour guide to slow down. If I did this tour again I would hope for a different guide.Written November 16, 2024

- Ann B0 contributionsGavin & Stacey Barry Island tourI booked the Gavin & Stacey tour of Barry Island for my partner’s birthday last week. We were picked up in Dave’s coach ( the actual coach!) and Dave and Nessa’s cousin were there to greet us. To say this tour exceeded my expectations is an understatement. The tour is interactive and our hosts were so friendly and knowledgable, as well as reminding us of why we love Gavin & Stacey so much. The tour was hilarious and really inciteful as a fan. We had the opportunity to take photos at various filming locations, and got to meet the lovely Glenda, who lends her house to Gwen and Stacey during filming! We are hoping to book another tour with Knock Off Nessa soon! Couldn’t recommend this enough! If you’re a fan, I would totally recommend this.Written November 8, 2024
- MarjanStone0 contributionsFun Bond locations tourI would recommend this experience. My husband ( big James Bond fan) and myself joined other Bond fans on the tour. The tour took us by coach and part walking around various locations from Bond films, right in the centre of London. After each place visited, we saw the same location in the actual Bond film on the bus. We saw parts of London that I’d never seen before. As well as being Bond tour there was lots of history and interesting information along the way. We ended up by the London Eye. Our tour guide ( ours was the very last of the year) was fun and knowledgeable. There was time halfway through for a loo break and a cuppa. It lasted approximately 4 hours. We had a super time. I’d recommend it.Written November 8, 2024
- 541ANDREAP0 contributionsExcellent 2 hour Sherlock Holmes walking tourOur daughter bought this tour for my partner who is a massive fan of Sherlock Holmes and he wasn't disappointed. Our walking guide Jonathan was brill, you can feel his passion for the fictitious character Sherlock Holmes and the life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The sights were amazing. Jonathan used pictures relevant to parts of both the film and TV series adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. He covers the first films with Basil Rathbone and the more up to date films with Robert Downey Jr also the TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock. He also added bits of information on British history along the way. The tour took about 2 hours. Starting point outside the Criterion Theatre, right outside Piccadilly Circus tube station. Finishing at Somerset House The Strand. To sum the tour up in one word - EXCELLENT.Written October 31, 2024

This tour was a present from my partner and it was excellent! Fiona our guide was clearly an avid Harry Potter fan so bought her enthusiasm and passion into each time we stopped and she pointed out a fact or scene from the film franchise. The tour last full two and half hours and it passed by so quickly. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and whilst this was specifically Harry Potter themed our guide did point out other films and locations on route which had featured in other Hollywood films. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and would definitely do another tour by this company in the future.

Enjoyed all the locations and enjoyed HP facts. However they can't show scenes from the film anymore which felt a little flat in spotting some scenes although no fault of the tour, down to Warner Bros. Didn't feel the guide was very enthusiastic compared to the other two we spotted along the way, very difficult to pick them out in a crowd (other guides had HP scarves at least) and few too many personal anecdotes unrelated to the tour. The pacing was awful, like being on a fast treadmill for 2.5 hours, no slowing down, no rest points or even having the courtesy to check pacing with those in the tour. We are quite active but we're just exhausted by the end. No time to stop and take photos either. We ended up losing our guide near the end as they just disappeared ahead of us so called it a day. Fine if free, but paid tour so expected a little more.

My 13 year old is a huge Harry Potter fan. We did the walking tour with Callum last week and it was fantastic!. He was funny and full of information. We loved learning all the little tid bits about filming the movie. He was also patient while we took pictures reenacting the movie. I definitely recommend it!!!

Fiona was very knowledgable and understanding. My wife and I were almost late due to some issues with the tube but she was fantastic and made last minute adjustments to the tour to accommodate the train disruptions. We not only learned loads about Harry Potter but also other interesting facts about London landmarks. We had a great time. Would definitely recommend!

This was a fantastic walking tour. Our guide on the day was Chris, who was knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic, not just about Harry Potter, but also about London and its history too.
We were so pleasantly surprised by the amount of information that was shared by Chris, both about the London landmarks we were visiting and how they related to Harry Potter as well. Even as a Harry Potter geek, and a Londoner of over 20 years, Chris still managed to show and tell us things that I didn't know about already, which was a really nice suprise.
The tour moved at a suitable pace for both adults and family groups, and the content was well placed for all age groups, including a couple of opportunities for re-enacting scenes from the movie and stopping for photo ops.
All in all a fantastic afternoon seeing the sites and learning about all things Harry Potter film, and well worth the ticket price given that the tour lasts for two and a half hours. We thought it was excellent.

My family (including 3 young children excited to see Harry Potter filming locations) and I arrived on time to the meeting point and began looking for the guide. When we couldn’t find them, we called the tour company for several minutes with no answer before finally messaging them. Didn’t get a response until OVER AN HOUR LATER saying the tour had begun on time and they left without us. We even asked other locals and no one knew about the tour. There was no clear direction on the meeting point other than where we were standing, and we couldn’t find the guide. There were no signs, marked shirts, or anything to indicate where the tour began or who the tour guide was. So we “missed” the tour according to them even though we were there on time. I then asked for a refund and they have so far refused to provide one because the “tour guide” had already incurred “out of pocket” expenses for the tour. Unbelievable. Total scam and wouldn’t recommend to anyone. I ended up just googling the filming location sites and walking to each one by myself over the next few days.

Just got home from the Harry Potter walking tour. Our guide, Lotty, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable as expected and really immursed herself in the experience, also giving some historical faccts of the buildings. My son is a Big Harry Potter fan and had lots of questions which Lotty knew the answers to. I however have only seen one of the films and never read one of the books but I found myself glued to the content, which was a nice surprise.
Brilliant tour for Harry Potter fans and family alike.

This is an amazing tour! I (huge Harry Potter fan) went with my sister and aunt (muggles..). Benny was such an amazing tour guide - he immediately had everyone excited and was incredibly knowledgeable. We didn't just see a ton of locations that were related to the HP films, but also gained a ton of insight on other historical events of London. It was definitely a highlight of our trip! Benny also made sure to not loose anyone while we made it through the busy streets / underground/ and demos(!). Can't recommend it more!

The tour was fine but the rating is a bit higher due to the efforts of the tour guide, Konstantine, who did a good job of making a personal effort to talk to all of the people taking the tour and once finding out I was in London for a short period, gave recommendations and additional commentary on the city for my short stay. However the overall tour wasn’t my favorite and as expected, you see very little from the movie. If you have time to visit the studios that would be the clear choice over this tour. I found I wished I had spent my limited time another way, but if you have more time in the city the tour is worth it possibly.

Tour walked at a break neck pace frequently leaving the elderly and children behind and spreading the group out for some distance.
The tour is 2 1/2 hours long with most stops having very little to do with Harry Potter. All spots were used in a movie, but the scene items are not there to be viewed anymore. The stops must be explained by the tour guide and aided with still photos from the movie.
Our tour guide was very friendly and seemed very knowledgable, but I would not recommend this tour to a friend or do again. If this is your interest seek out a tour that takes place at the studio to get a more in depth ( or any real depth at all for that matter) experience.
