Me and my younger brother really enjoyed this tour with Lauren. Even though the weather was very hot and you do have to walk quite a bit, time just flew by! Lots of fun trivia and information not only for the biggest Harry Potter geeks, but basically everyone.. I loved the fact that Lauren had a little folder with her with all the important pictures from the films, so as to help our memory. What a great experience overall!

We took a group of 19 people from work on the Harry Potter tour, so had oldies and youngies to please :) What a fantastic tour! Our tour guide was not only good fun, she was also very knowledgeable. We saw some great London sites, as well as little nooks and were given even more information on filming, characters, relatives of characters, other films and actors. Plenty of history thrown in too. I’d definitely do this tour again and recommend it to others.

Hana was great! We had a wonderful time touring the Potter sights around parts of London. She did a fabulous job of blending information from and about the HP movies and the history and locales in London. A must-do for any Potter fan visiting London.

Great tour - lovely guide with great sense of humour and very personable. Plenty of Potter facts but also lots of interesting comments about London and the lesser known sights we walked past. An "alternative" tour for someone looking for an off-beat, less touristy walk and suitable for non-Harry fans although obviously to a lesser degree. Our 11 year old was probably more interested than our 7 year old but he was just thrilled to get to walk around in his Harry Potter outfit.... We had a larger group than I had expected but that was probably because it was half-term, and didn't detract in any way.

Had a fabulous time on the Muggle Tour. Our guide was Suzie - very welcoming and friendly as well as extremely knowledgeable on everything Harry Potter, and the tour was very professionally done. It's suitable for Harry Potter fans of all ages, but is also an interesting tour of London sites if you are not so into everything Harry Potter. The tour takes approx 2 hours (mostly on foot, with a short Tube ride in the middle) but the time flew. Great fun and great value for money

Lovely tour, and Hana the guide was really professional and connected very well with the group and she knows how to keep our attention. It is more than a Harry Potter tour, it gives you the chance to visit interesting places in London. Most recommendable.

I would highly recommend this fantastic tour. Hana the tour guide was lovely and connected really well with all the adults and kids in the party. The tour takes in many sites from the movies, as well as a lot of information about how JK Rowling researched the books and the background of the characters. Seeing sites from the movies and getting such a great insight into the books has made me want to read them all over again!

For anyone with an interest in Potter this is a must if you are in London, or even if you are there with your kids/other half and not a huge Potter fan yourself, it is a fantastic tour taking in some of the most famous London landmarks.

We took Hanna's tour with our grandsons 28th December. The boys11 & 9 yrs, especially the elder, were totally engrossed in the whole tour. Not only was the tour great from a Harry Potter fan perspective, but Hanna also told us about other historic & interesting places along the way. If you want a personalised, friendly, small group tour with a perfect hostess, then this is the one to take.
Overall a fantastic experience and highly recommended for all ages!

A fantastic afternoon out the city. Packed with information that even the biggest Harry Potter fan might not know in lovely locations. Lots of non-Potter information too, we had several adults who came along with children who were not as big Potter fans as their kids, but it was still very interesting. And the tour guide was fantastic.

We read the previous reviews and were skeptical. We need not have been. It totally lived up to expectation and more. We had 14 kids between 7 & 11 years old who had the time of their life celebrating our son's birthday on a tour. Hana was perfect with the kids and adults! She managed the whole event serenely, knowledgeably and always with a smile. When returning the kids to their parents at the end of the day they all spontaneously said how brilliant it had been.

Harry Potter Muggle Tour: Absolutely Amazing

My parents, my brother and myself went for the Harry Potter Muggle Tour on the 10th of December 2011.

Being a Harry Potter fan, I was really excited to go on the tour. However, I was also slightly apprehensive, because I thought that the tour would be aimed towards children below 16 years of age. However, I was wrong, because I enjoyed myself immensely! Hana, our guide, was not only friendly and bubbly, she also provided information regarding both Harry Potter and the London, and it was a very insightful experience! We got to learn about places we would have never taken a second glace at if we were to walk pass them!

Overall, I feel that it was an amazing experience, and I would recommend it for everyone, young or old, fan or not!

We really enjoyed our tour with lovely Hanna.
I took my 12 year old and her friends and she had them captivated. She was really interested in the children and what they had to say as well - which meant that they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was the perfect birthday treat and very good value too. I really recommend it for adult and child Harry Potter fans and those interested in seeing London.

This really is a fantastic way to spend an evening - Hana is very knowledgable about all things Potter and her enthusiasm makes everything seem so vivid. As someone in my late 20s I would throughly recommend to all ages and you pick up some pretty great magical and indeed muggle based trivia along the way. Superb.

We did a Muggletour for my daughter's 11th birthday and it did not disappoint. All the girls thoroughly enjoyed the tour and came away on a high. Hana is a delightful and attentive tour guide who really engaged the children. The walk took in some great London sights and I would thoroughly recommend this as a truly magical way for Harry Potter fans to spend two hours in London.

What a great way to spend a couple of hours immersed in the magic of Harry Potter. Our tour guide, Hanna was so knowledgeable. She was put to the Harry Potter test by our 9 year old daughter, who was so excited at the prospect of the tour and didn't leave Hanna's side the whole time. She was totally immersed and enjoyed whole experience. So did we. Hanna also slipped in a few other snippets of information whilst en-route. All in all it was good value and we would definitely recommend this to any family who love all things "magic".

This was great fun - hard to feel magical on a busy London Tuesday, but Hana was so full of information and enthusiasm that though I was a 'lapsed' reader, accompanying my much more committed daughter, I found myself at the end wanting to continue the series. The walk was really well constructed, and as others have pointed out, Hana's care and interest in her group was outstanding and made it feel more than just a tour. My only wish was that more could have been made of us being a muggle family - which was how Hana referred to us at the beginning - maybe spying on the Harry Potter world?

A really enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours....even for the non Harry Potter fans! I went along with my 15yr old son and 12 yr old daughter - they both really enjoyed it, great HP facts, interesting sights and not too exhausting... (they are not overly keen on walking anywere normally!) Hana was lovely and it was a great way to spend a Sunday morning - inspired me to jump on the train and do more of this sort of this... with the children!

It was so much fun trying the props. We visited pretty cool places and learnt amazing facts about the Author and places where some HP scenes were filmed.
By joining Hana, you will not just discover further about HP World but also about other famous British movies and Historical facts about London. Muggle tour are really informative.
Whether you love Harry Potter or not, you will definitely like the tour :)

A really great Harry Potter tour! It was so much fun and interesting. Everyone (young and not so young) seemed to be having a lovely time. Hana made us feel really welcome and included. The tour is well thought out and you are very well cared for from the get go. I think it's worth mentioning that Hana told us that we didn't go to Platform 93/4 because it's the easiest to find (in Kings Cross) and that way it gives us time to see locations that we wouldn't find on our own. The tour was great and I would highly recommend it, money and time very well sent! In a nutshell, Harry Potter heaven!!

Hana is a great tour guide who knows so much about, and clearly loves the Harry Potter books and films. This tour is equally suitable for Harry Potter experts (there will definitely be something you don't know) as well as Harry Potter novices (my parents, do not know that much have now borrowed HP DVDs and are keen to spot all the places we visited). Hana is friendly, lively and informal, which makes for a much better experiences than some more formal tours I have been on. She also provides some more general historical information about London and a few bits of info about other movies filmed in London, which only adds to the experience. We would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks Hana :)

We enjoyed our muggle tour and was great to see the children so engaged in the Potter knowledge Hana was able to share. So valuable to have a knowledgeable guide who is passionate. Hana was professional, approachable and interested in her group members.
Only thing I would have liked to have seen was the Platform 9 and 3/4 which is also located in London but that's not a big deal.
A great way to see some key London sights as well.
I liked that we were told that if we needed to stop for food or coffee that it would be fine.
