Private HP Tour w/ Mike - Mike was great! Very knowledgeable and kept the walking tour interesting, and interactive. Initially, we didn't realize we booked a private tour but overall it was very fun discovering all the secrets that went into the making of Harry Potter.

Fun filled adventure exploring various destinations - We had an absolutely wonderful time! Rich was extremely knowledgeable about every location we went to, both for the Harry Potter information and the real-life history of the places. Because it was just my husband, myself, and Rich, we were able to take our time and take as many photos as we wanted. Strongly recommend booking a tour, whether you're only mildly interested in Harry Potter, or full-blown nerds like my husband and I!! 10/10

GREAT TOUR & THE BEST GUIDE! - Ben, our tour guide, was phenomenal! He was knowledgeable, experienced, humorous, kind and humble. Our family of 4 was the only 4 in the small group tour which made it pleasant and personable. We enjoyed the Harry Potter insight along with a bit of English history thrown in here & there. This was a Christmas experience gift for my 3 grown boys who are Harry Potter fans, we are visiting from America. If given the chance I would definitely book this tour again. Thank you for your hospitality Ben! OH! And if you could email us that group photo that would be THE BEST! ☺️

Great Harry Potter Tour - Mike was absolutely amazing! He’s friendly, knowledgeable and made tour such a fantastic experience.He's not only a huge Harry Potter fan with a lot of Harry Potter knowledge, but he very knowledgeable about the history of the area. We had tickets to The Cursed Child immediately following our tour with Mike, and were worried we wouldn’t make it in time. Mike was super accommodating and rearranged our route to end at the Cursed Child. Such an amazing day! Mike absolutely made our day! 10 out of 10 recommend!

Average tour - Our tour guide was great, nothing bad to say about her. Too expensive of a tour for just walking, no entrances into anything, and had to pay for the underground rides ourselves. That should have been included. You are better off finding these places on your own.
