Harry Potter with Louis

5.00We had such a wonderful time on the Harry Potter tour, and Louis made it an unforgettable experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the Harry Potter filming locations and behind-the-scenes stories, but what really made the tour special was how genuinely warm and personable he was. Louis went above and beyond by pointing out other interesting sights around London that we never would have noticed on our own, which made the tour feel like so much more than just a Harry Potter experience. He was happy to answer all of our questions—not just about Harry Potter, but also about life in London—and his enthusiasm and approachable nature made every conversation enjoyable. By the end of the tour, it felt like we'd spent the afternoon exploring the city with a friendly local. If you're considering a Harry Potter tour, we can't recommend Louis highly enough. He made a great tour truly exceptional.
Great Experience

5.00It was an exciting and entertaining tour. Marvin wonderfully guided us through the morning, introducing us not only to the filming locations of the Harry Potter movies but also to London and the history of the city. Great guy! Thank you very much and warm regards!

5.00Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. He was helpful with regard to Harry Potter and normal London tips. We had a small group, but he was sure to keep us all together and talked to each of us about where we were from. There was a fun quiz and it was a great time.

1.00Can’t really say how the actual tour ways. We had a lot of trouble finding the location- literally ran everywhere as we were on foot and a lot of roads were closed- made for a very stressful morning! Left 1.5 hours early to make it on time and still couldn’t find it. Tried to message the tour operator a couple of times but they never did answer. I understand that our poor sense of direction and rail/road closures aren’t the tour operators fault- but at least a reply to messages after the tour would have been nice.

5.00Very cool tour for Harry Potter fans. I like that we were a smallish group of people. The trivia quiz was fun too. Our guide Louis was chill and very knowledgeable about London.
