Tour a pé pelos locais de filmagem de Harry Potter em Londres

Fui a un tour a pie de Harry Potter en Londres y pude ver los lugares que inspiraron a J.K. Rowling al hacer la película. El guía también habló sobre la historia de algunos de los edificios, así que es un tour histórico al mismo tiempo. Sería bueno si tuvieran un letrero en el punto de encuentro, ya que casi lo perdimos, o si pudiéramos obtener un folleto temático de Harry Potter con un mapa de dónde vamos, quizás impreso para que lo consultemos mientras caminamos.

Our tour guide, Max, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He not only shared information about the movie scenes and the movies themselves, but he also shared some interesting facts as we walked around London. It was a great way to learn about and see London (and, of course, the Harry Potter locations)! ;)

Our tour guide meticulously explained the details of each location, including its history, which not only deepened our understanding of the Harry Potter scenes but also significantly increased our knowledge of the local British culture. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the UK for the first time! Along the way, we also took the subway and walked through the streets of Britain, and the guide even provided thoughtful personal recommendations for food.

Overall walking tour was great if not for the mis-communication on the meeting location. Apparently meet-up point has changed 6 months ago but was not updated in the Klook communication. However the local agent was very helpful when we called up to explain and they quickly arranged for us to attend the afternoon session. Our guide, Megan, was great. Always making sure we are safe when crossing the roads and boarding the tube. Very detailed in explaining the different filming locations etc. Had a lot of fun….would have given a full 5-star rating if not for the mix-up location

The guide was able to help recap on various scenes from the movies when bringing us to various stop. The devices used for communication is also effective. Didn't manage to get tickets to the HP studio and this was a good filler.

It delivered as promised; guide Max was on time, the audio was clear, he had photos and explained the differences between the film and what we were seeing real-time which is something I wouldn't have gotten from a recording or article. He also gave some film, London, and literature trivia so I'm glad that I skipped the other tours for this. The walk wasn't tiring for me; there was a ten minute break in the middle too. The coupon mentions that you might need to buy an oyster card, but you don't have to, the train accepts contactless international cards. Picture taking in the Platform 9 3/4 is technically not part of the tour but the tour ends there so if you're a Harry Potter fan, I'd say make time for the long line for picture taking, it was an hour in my case, and more time for shopping.

I had originally booked the morning session and arrived 15 minutes early, but ended up waiting for almost half an hour. Only after a fellow traveler called did we find out that the tour guide was sick and couldn't make it, and we were asked to come back for the afternoon session or get a refund. I had other plans for the afternoon, but after some thought, I decided to attend the tour anyway. The afternoon session proceeded smoothly. The guide assigned to us was a gentleman in his 70s, a very experienced guide with many years in the field. Besides Harry Potter tours, he also leads many other tours of famous London landmarks. He mentioned he had about a year of experience leading this Harry Potter walking tour, but I had expected a full 3 hours, yet it only lasted about two hours and 25 minutes before we were dismissed at King's Cross Station (the final stop). I'm not sure if we walked too fast or if the tour wasn't detailed enough, as it was my first time attending. This is why I only gave four stars. Everything else was great. The guide brought printed movie scenes and took us to the exact spots for comparison, making the experience very immersive. The guide's English was also very clear and not too fast to understand. In addition to Harry Potter-related content, he also briefly introduced some important London landmarks as we passed them.

Excellent walking tour with lots of interesting facts for even non-Harry Potter fans. Philip the guide was engaging. We covered a lot of ground in 3 hours, walking 10,000 steps, including a short break around St Paul’s and 2 tube rides. My 8yo and 6yo were able to keep up with the tour but we were all definitely tired by the end. My only quibble is that we watched YouTube clips on an iPhone at certain locations - given the size of the group it would have been easier with an iPad.

I really enjoyed this tour as we walked from one film location to the next, with the guide giving us insights to the Harry Potter movies. Plus walking really lets one have a good overview of London.

Our tour guide Megan was absolutely lovely. She was very knowledgeable and showed us photos of actual movies while talking about the various spots. She was also very accommodating, constantly checking if we needed anything, lending one of the joiners her travel card because she lost hers, and even taking our photos. Overall, an amazing experience, and I’m so glad she was our guide.
