Really enjoyed the tour telling about Harry production in different locations plus some London history in most famously known landmarks. Guid was super friendly.

We had an amazing tour with guide Mike! Highly recommended:) He was fun, answered all our questions and told us a lot more fun facts :)) Best experience!

Emma was fantastic! Her storytelling made it feels as if you were part of the movie. Loved every minute (or should I “step”) of the journey.

An amazing tour for Potterheads and those who want a new way of exploring London!
