Beautiful guided walk in central London. Too bad about the end of Platform 9 3/4 which requires a fee to take a photo and you also have to queue. Management connected to the shop next door which sells merchandising material linked to the title.

Dear future guests - we are delighted to see that this guest enjoyed our magical Harry Potter tour. It appears the only negativity the guest experienced was in the Harry Potter shop which obviously is not run by our tour company. Nevertheless we are pleased to see that the guest enjoyed everything that was actually on the tour and look forward to taking you on a magical Harry Potter tour of London soon!

I had a wonderful time! I saw some sights I had never been to before as well as some I had been to previously, but learned more about.
Carolina was a fantastic tour guide with extensive Harry Potter knowledge, and she also provided detailed history of other landmarks along the way. In between stops she even gave me suggestions for other things I can do during my stay.
I highly recommend this experience for any Harry Potter fan who is interested in it’s history and is looking to find out more about some of London’s historic sites!

Mike was excellent, knowledgeable fantastic, made you feel at ease. Chatted not only about Harry Potter but many other things.
Will look into other tours.
Was blessed with lovely weather as well was a bonus and extra bonus was our own personal tour as due to 6 other people cancelling half hour before hand so it was just Mike, me and my husband.
Have told my friends already about the tour and how good it was.
What more can I say people look into booking tours with this company you wont be sorry.

As a Harry Potter fan I enjoyed this free walking tour and got to see the filming locations from the films. My personal favourite was Knockturn Alley. The tour guide was very engaging and show us photos and videos from the films in relation to the sites we visited. Thank you so much!!

We had a great time touring the Harry Potter London locations - Carolina certainly was a Potterhead but also gave us great historical bites on other London landmarks. Highly recommend!! Also a great way to see some cool parts of London.

Such a fun tour! Not only did we see some amazing Harry Potter film sights and inspirations for the book, our guide also gave us a bit of history on some of the landmarks/monuments we passed. A great way to see London. Carolina was our guide, and she was so nice and really made our experience great!

Carolina was amazing! Tour group size is small and ran extremely smoothly considering that we had to navigate through really busy part of london, 2 subway rides and varying ages! Carolina’s trivia game and stories kept my little ones entertained! Definitely recommend this for families and Potter fans!

When I came to the UK this time, I happened to live next to King's Cross Station. By coincidence, I happened to encounter the Harry Potter Back to School exhibition. There was an exhibition in the station hall. People who were interested in passing by could go in and change their clothes to take pictures. The clothes were Hogwarts. This is the college uniform! In addition, the specialty store is also inside the station, next to the most famous 9 3/4 wall, which was built later. People can line up to take pictures for free, and choose scarves from 4 colleges and different magic wands. I chose Of course it's Gryffindor Academy and the magic wand Harry holds! The specialty store sells a wide variety of things, and you can buy everything you see in movies.

We love Mike!! As a devoted Harry Potter fan this tour was everything I could have wanted. Even though I have seen the movies and read the books multiple times I felt like I learned so many new things. I would recommend this tour to any HP super fan!!
