Harry Potter London Walk

Genius idea. Charasmatic tour guide George made it though... & even allowed us to indulge in a bit of Bridget Jones trivia- whilst finding links back to Harry Potter. Very clever chap. Very good way to spend a Thursday evening... Even though it rained cats'n'dogs!

I would reccomend this walk. George our guide was really knowledgable, helpful and friendly. We did the night walk which made everything look that much more magical than during the day.

I did the London Harry Potter walking tour of London. It was just perfect. I've seen the Leaky Cauldron, the Diagon Alley, and a lot of other places of the Harry Potter movies.
The London Harry Potter walking tour of London is THE attraction if you're a fan of Harry Potter.
The guides are Harry Potter fans too, so they know what they're talking about, they're just passionate about what they show us.
The visit includes a boat trip.
Make sure you have an underground ticket because you'll have to take the underground during the visit.
Do the London Harry Potter walking tour of London if you're fan or Harry Potter, or if you're not ! It's amazing for everyone.

I went on this Harry Potter tour yesterday with Yuki as our guide. He is excellent and makes the tour such fun for both adults and children. I would recommend him as an EXCELLENT guide for all Harry Potter fans.

My friends and I went on the Harry Potter walking tour of London, led by the excellent Yuki Tokeshi (unmissable in his enormous wizard's hat). The tour took in many of the famous and not-so-famous parts of London that have formed the backdrop to the 8 Harry Potter films. Our tourguide regaled us with many fascinating facts and stories about JK Rowling's books, and the making of the films. He certainly knew his stuff, and his voice was strong and clear enough to be easily heard above the London traffic. He was also excellent with the children in our party - encouraging one to proudly hold the tour banner in the air as we walked along, so that no one got lost! All in all it was an extremely enjoyable afternoon, highly recommended.

We went on the Harry Potter walking tour of London, and it was incredible. Our tour guide George was so humorous and knowledgeable and really took the time to put in lots of details about the places that we visited, and in general was a very affable person. Highly recommended :)

The tour was so nice!(even thought the Guide did not show up on time)
Our guide George was good guide and he was really qualified. He explains many places with clear memory of the movie series. And more than that he said many interesting stories-Great fire in London, Haunted Bank of England.
Thanks for George. It's good for kids-he cared tham too.
I recommand this tour.

This is the best tour we did in London!!We were worried about the language but I have to say that our guide (Shanna) was so kind and explained everything so well so we could understand everything. If you wanna see "The City" in London and you're also a Harry Potter fan you must do this tour! Our guide showed us a lot of monuments and interesting places in London and also was so funny and enjoying with Harry Potter places. It was such a great day! Thanks a lot !!

For our tour we had Yuki, he was fantastic! Very lively, friendly and always outsmarting us on our Harry Potter knowledge. Took us to some great places always relating to the filming and things from the books. If you get Yuki as your tourguide, you are very lucky!
The walk is quite fast paced and it lasted for a few hours. There is a lot of walking, so if this isn't your thing then you have been warned!
If you are travelling by train to london (by chiltern railways i think) then be SURE to pick up the 2 for 1 leaflets, it saves you a lot of money for this tour!

Honestly I am not a massive fan of Harry Potter. My friend recommended this tour to me. Surprisingly it is fantastic. Our tour guide was passionate and very knowledgable about Harry Potter. It was very fun seeing the kids on the tour contending with each other to answer our guide's Harry Potter question. One little girl was particularly impressive. She could almost answer all of the questions! I would like to thank our guide, Yuki, for an enjoyable tour which kept everybody thoroughly entertained.
强烈推荐！！！！:)

I really enjoyed our tour, the guide was knowledgable, I liked the stills/pictures, they gave a good idea of what the locations looked like in the movie. (Posted on 12/12/2011)

I went on the walk with my 15 year old son, who is a big fan of Harry Potter. We both thoroughly enjoyed our time finding out loads of stuff from the books, films and general information about London. It was well thought out and we were kept on our toes with questions for us all to answer. The main reason why it was such a good time was our Guide, Shannon. She did a wonderful job keeping the group together and was respectful of the various speeds of the group. We were impressed with her knowledge and she put it over in a very friendly and informative way. I would recommend this Walk to anyone. It was excellent value for money. A very good time was had by all. Please pass onour thanks to Shannon. (Posted on 26/09/2011)

It was totally awesome :3
Had a great Tour even if it rained :D
but there was one tiny little mistake the tour guide made by asking some of his nerd-questions, but it was really great.
would want to walk again x] (Posted on 05/08/2011)

I went on the Harry Potter walk last weekend with two friends and it was a lovely walk through London, with a scenic boat ride thrown in too! Our tour guide, Yuki, was animated and engaging and was great with the kids too.

The tour was quite a long walk, lasting around 2.5 hours, but we were pre-warned right at the start and also warned about the need for a travel card. It gets a bit tiring, but even with lots of kids, pushchairs and older people, the tour guide kept us all entertained and motivated and had lots of of extra trivia about London which added a nice touch.

All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour, and I would strongly recommend to even people who just want a quick tour of the main attractions in London. (Posted on 12/04/2011)

I bought this as part of my Nephew's 10th birthday treats. His Mum went with him (both Harry Potter fans), they had a great time and really enjoyed themselves. Have decided to show me all the places they went to.

Good value and informative. A+++++ (Posted on 21/03/2011)

This was a surprise birthday gift for one of my best friends and we had an amazing time! There were so many brilliant photo opportunities and we created some beautiful memories :)
Our tour guide Shannon was so lovely and absolutely brilliant at speaking about the different spots. I think we asked her to take about a gazillion photos for us - which she happily did, she was very friendly and approachable too!
Overall a brilliant day!

Great tour! The tour guide was great and wiling to answer any questions, pointed out a lot of movie locations not just out out Harry Potter. Great way to see London! (Posted on 13/01/2011)

Harry Potter tour was thoroughly enjoyable and informative - probably more so for those who are diehard HP fans. Even if you're not a big fan there's plenty to take in during the near 3 hour tour - including key locations from other films like Bridget Jones and historical London sites like the location of the Great Fire of London. Price of ticket also included a short river cruise along the Thames. A great way to work off a hearty London Sunday breakfast! (Posted on 13/01/2011)

Great harry potter London walk!! Well worth going on. Our tour guide Ryan was lovely!! (Posted on 13/01/2011)

We were thrilled with this walking tour of Harry Potter's London, not just as fans of the books and movies, but as newcomers to London who found themselves in Leicester Square, Scotland Yard and Trafalgar Square, on a boatride down the Thames, Bridget Jones' (and Harry's) East London, across the London Bridge and, eventually, at the real (it's really there!) Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross station. Even if you don't know much about Harry (and our multinational tour group were big fans), you'd learn more about London itself than you could imagine in just 2.5 hours. Our tour guide, James, knew his stuff - his London and his Harry - and clearly relishes the opportunity to share his beloved city. His tour was one of the highlights of our trip to London.

I did my tour on Sun, Nov 21st 2010
I absolutely LOVED this tour! It was fun and informative! My tour guide was great! He was super friendly, well informed and enthusiastic! This was the best tour around London that I have been on!
I wouldn't mind it being longer, so we can see more things =)
Gimme a shout out when you come to Can :P

Lovely, love Harry Potter and this tour is awesome, enjoyed every second of it, wonderful, very informational (Posted on 22/06/2010)

We actually went on another, cheaper Harry Potter tour from Brit Movie Tours, it wasnt nearly as good! You certainly get what you pay for and this is the kbest tour we went on while in the city! Highly recommended! (Posted on 22/04/2010)

What a great way to see London, so much more than just Harry Potter, and all those film locations we recognised, wow! Great job! (Posted on 12/01/2010)

Our tour guide was not only informative, but full of personality as well! He made the journey around London exciting for these American travelers. Being a huge Harry Potter fan, it was totally awesome to see various filming sites and of course platform 9 3/4. My sister and I will always remember our trip thanks to all of our tours including the Harry Potter tour. Thanks !!!

Love, Alexis and Maggie!! xxxx ;-) (Posted on 07/12/2009)

Part of my son's birthday, the kids dressed up and had so much fun, the tour guide was brilliant, even looks a bit like Harry Potter!

The boat trip under the millenium bridge is cool, and the tour guide showed us loads of Harry Potter locations as well as film locations from other films, which was really interesting. Highly recommended. (Posted on 15/08/2009)
