Harry Potter Tour – Muggle Tours Walk

This was absolutely superior!!! We had an exemplary, lively, informative guide! This was such a great experience, my daughter and I loved it. My only suggestion is to slow down! Our guide walked soooo fast! But even then, this tour was perfect!!! What a great personality our guide had.

One of the best (if not THE best) walking tour for Harry Potter. The Muggle Tour team are so dedicated and into the fandom. Even the muggy London rain and bitter cold winds in December could not damper our mood and lovely outing. With luck on our side of having a smaller group for the tour, we really did get to fully enjoy the sites and scenary, get to know one another and our guide.
Booking the tour was super easy on the website platform. It’s very nice that closer to the date of booked tour, a reminder email was sent as well with full details on where to meetup and additional things of what to expect on the tour.
Definitely reccommend doing this whether with a friend or even on your own. It’s worth the experience and really getting to know the little neat facts of behind-​the-​scenes on the making and inspiration of Harry Potter. Along the way, we also received info and guidance on actual London attractions as well (this may have been attributed to our small group present so there’s more opportunity to chat).
Totally did not expect being thrown mini pop-​quizzes left and right but that really tested our skills and had the group working closer and harder than ever to answer our lovely guide Gretchen «Granger» tough questions. Well done Granger, well done.

Obviously, there are numerous Harry Potter tours in London and any one of them can be a great experience, but I believe this one provided excellent «bang for your buck/​pound». Great sights of London, both Harry Potter and UK references, and overall great personality/​character in Joseph Lockhart.
Tour: Walking through Borough Market — awesome place that we learned about and came back for lunch the next day. Great afternoon views as we walked along the Thames as we saw London Bridge. Walks past Big Ben and through the street to Trafalgar Square.
Easy to book: Booked online about 90 min before our tour with immediate e-​mail confirmation containing specific directions to meet the group.
Platform 9 ¾ — this tour doesn’t go there but Joseph gladly provided instructions on how to find Platform 9 ¾ on our own.

We came to London and one of the first things we did was this muggle tour. I thought the tour was well executed and reasonably priced. The trivia was fun and entertaining, thanks to or expert guide Joseph Lockhart. We’d definitely recommend and at the very least, you get to see a bunch of neighborhoods in London to get you started on your visit to the UK.

Whether you’re a casual Harry Potter fan or a serious textualist of the Harry Potter canon, this tour and our guide Joseph Lockhart are really as good as everyone says.
I booked this tour for my fiancé and me. She’s read the books 10 times through and went head to head on trivia with our guide. Point is, he knew his stuff.
Half of the tour is about the books, Rowling’s inspirations around the city, and the London references she made.
The other half is about filming locations, and other movie stuff.
It’s kid friendly, as we had two kids on our tour who had only seen the movies. They were properly entertained.

Had a great time. It was nice to visit places I otherwise wouldn’t have seen as a tourist. Our guide was funny and informative. Would definitely recommend.

Nick Longbottom our guide was great and full of fun insider Harry Potter and historical facts about London (e.g. The Chanel logo on most of the lamps in London, Bridget Jones’ apartment near an HP filming location). The tour is an excellent value and a great way to see areas not included on more generic tours. We were never bored and enjoyed seeing some areas behind JK Rowling’s inspiration.

If you are a fan of Harry Potter, I highly recommend this particular tour. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and very entertaining throughout the walk. Participants of all ages were welcomed and everyone in the group was so grateful for his guidance. They weren’t kidding when they said the guides know their Potter trivia — factoids old and new (including information regarding the newest upcoming film and Broadway musical) were on-​hand to share.
If you’re not a fan of Harry Potter, I still recommend this tour. It covers many historical events that occurred at significant locations in London and their connection to J. K Rowling and her wizarding world. Inspirational elements are made relevant as the tour guide points them out while you are in the moment.
Our group size was approximately 20 guests. We moved through the streets at a comfortable pace and the entire tour length took the expected 2 to 2.5 hours. I regret not having a pedometer, so I can’t comment on the total distance walked — but it was great exercise nonetheless. The nine year olds had no complaints walking the distance.
Thank you Muggle Tours for an unforgettable London experience.

This is a very comprehensive tour that goes to different places in London where Harry Potter was filmed or inspired from. I highly recommend this tour. The tour guide was brilliant. He was like a male Mary Poppins – super patient with hyper children, energetic, and hilarious. He will also answer any questions you have about London. For example, I finally found out the history behind the London Bridge nursery rhyme. Definitely worth the ticket price, which was less than 13 pounds.

I couldn’t believe it when I heard there were Harry Potter Muggle Tours in London!!! When I found out the tickets were less than 13 pounds per person (for 2.5 hours of fun), I knew I had to do it! The tour is absolutely fantastic! You are taken around London and shown not only places from the Harry Potter movies, but also places that inspired JK Rowling. I think what truly made this tour 5 stars was our tour guide. He was absolutely fantastic!!! He provided us with TONS of trivia related not only to Harry Potter, but also London itself. I was really impressed with how knowledgeable he was. We asked him several questions and he gave extremely detailed answers. He also was SUPER energetic and enthusiastic. We could not have asked for a better tour guide! If you’re looking for a walking tour of London and love Harry Potter, look no further!!! This is the tour for you!

Excellent tour dans Londres. Notre guide, Steph «Black» était passionnée, pétillante et très intéressante. Elle a su répondre à toutes nos questions, nous a fait part d’une multitude d’anecdotes sur les lieux de tournages… Les lieux urbains où ont été tournés des scènes des 7 films d’Harry Potter sont nombreux, et grâce à un livret que possédait notre guide, nous avons pu visualiser parfaitement les scènes dont il était question. Je le recommande chaudement à tous les fans de la saga!

Our tour with Steph «Black» was fabulous. The two know-​it-​all kids (in a good way), the teenagers, the adults all had a great time. You see lots of sites from the movie. But the most fun is being with a group of Potter fans-​especially the guide! I’m not even a big Harry Potter fan and I enjoyed it immensely. It’s fun to walk through parts of London a tourist might not normally see. The logistics were simple and worked. There was a fun small surprise at the end of the tour. And we tacked on a visit to Platform 9 ¾, which was easy to do. Highly recommended!

Steph Black was our tour guide & she was phenomenal. We were all very excited for this tour & it lived up to all expectations. We not only got Harry Potter trivia but also London & UK trivia. The attention she gave to not only the adult fans but specifically the child fans was great. I would 100% recommend this as a must do for all Harry Potter fans & note that even non-​fans will enjoy this.

Thank you Scott for a super fun time! It was great to see all the film locations and inspiration stations for Rowling. Throw in witty commentary and this tour is totally worth it!

Muggle Tours with our guide «Simon Salazar» was truly the best thing my friend and I did in London when we visited in November! The tour is fun, lighthearted and informative, both about the fictional and historical worlds of London. We really knew our way around the city after the tour, and went back to visit a few places Simon pointed out. I can’t more highly recommend the tour and especially Simon if he’s still showing muggles around, it was delightful and I’d do it again next time for sure!

I had a great time on the Muggle Tour!
Our guide, Sophie McGonagall, was simply wonderful. She was enthusiastic and I really enjoyed the way she presented the tidbits of HP knowledge.
I would recommend this tour to any Harry Potter fan! It was a great way to see bits of London while getting my Harry Potter fix at the same time.

So much of tours like this depend on the guide — and in our case, the guide, «John Lupin», was terrific. I second everything Samantha S. says in her ¹⁄₃₀ review, with the same guide. Enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable, and a great presenter. He also showed great diplomatic skills — our tour included one child who knew _​everything_​about Harry Potter and was proud to show it, yet was often wrong! John did a masterful job of gently giving the rest of us the right information without diminishing her enthusiasm.
I honestly can’t think of a way the tour could have been better — very very well done indeed.

We booked this walking tour for our first day in London to keep us awake and because our kids are huge Harry Potter fans.
Good idea and decent execution, but our guide wasn’t great. I can’t remember her name, but she was from the Netherlands and pretended to be a cousin of Sirius Black. Kind of clever.
We couldn’t see her in crowds. Raising a flag or an umbrella or another tall object would help!
She kept our group together and tried to involve everyone with questions (Who is your favorite HP character? What is your favorite book in the series?), but the way she «sorted» us into different Hogwarts groups was stupid.
She gave us incorrect information about some of the sites (the bridge with the dementors) and kept changing accents which was really annoying.
It was nice to have photos from the movies at specific sites. The magic trick with toy wands was fun.
She said she would tell us where to find a HP gift store after the tour, but forgot.
This tour would be a lot better with a few little improvements.

An excellent Harry Potter tour, and an unexpectedly wonderful general introduction to London. It’s a unique way to see the city: You can let your inner geek run free while enjoying some of the city’s most atmospheric neighborhoods.
Our guide, «John Lupin» [fans will get the joke], is an actor, and it shows. He had no trouble commanding the group’s attention, and he was obviously enjoying himself. The tidbits he offered were ostensibly about the HP books and movies, but he threw in plenty of anecdotes about the city, its history, and tons of other movie trivia.
For the true HP fanatic, he revealed where certain scenes were filmed, and where JK Rowling got inspiration for Diagon Alley, Nocturne Alley, the Ministry of Magic, Azkaban, Durmstrang’s ship, and 12 Grimmauld Place (a grim, old place indeed).
You’ll move briskly from location to location, and a short Tube trip is involved. John cleverly offered us a Sorting Hat quiz on the train, so that we hardly noticed the time passing.

WHAT an amazing tour! I must admit, I’m quite the Harry Potter nerd. So when I was here over the weekend with another family member who is also in love with HP, we HAD to sign up! After we signed up and paid online, we were sent information about where to meet and necessary information for the tour.
Our tour that day was led by Suzie, who was so enthusiastic and so friendly. She made sure to include information for everyone, even if you weren’t a harry potter fan. I know, I know… someone who isn’t a Harry Potter fan on a Harry Potter walking tour?! It was neat hearing little tidbits about how the movie was filmed, and what sites were used to do the filming. But on top of all this, the walking tour was also a REALLY great way to see the city in general. I saw more of London on this walking tour than I saw just walking to various sites for sightseeing on my own.
At the end of the tour, it was about dinner time. So, Suzie made sure to tell everyone what good restaurants were near by, and offered to help people plan their routes back from the local tube stop where we ended our tour. She was also SO great with the kids, racing from sight to sight with them, and constantly keeping them engaged. Oh, and I can’t forget… if you want she’ll also sort you into one of the houses at Hogwarts with her sorting hat :)
Best walking tour I’ve ever done. I highly recommend this to anyone who is even REMOTELY a Harry Potter fan!

Guide was interesting and animated. Kids enjoyed this, even though they hadn’t seen all of the movies yet.

Organisatorisch hat alles bestens geklappt. Die Studio-​Tour ist sehr gut
spannend gemacht. Der originelle Doppeldecker-​Bus, der uns zu der Tour
brachte, hatte leider die Fenster mit Folie zugeklebt, so dass die Fahrt
etwas lang wird, da man die Gegend nicht sieht.
