Our family had such a great time on our tour. Greg made it extra special for my boys and was able to throw in a few other iconic stops in London. Greg was able to take us ro abbey road and we got an amazing picture. I would 100% book with Greg again.

How to make the most of your tour?

Ask for your highlights: Before you start, tell your driver-guide which Harry Potter spots matter most so they can tailor the route and timing.
Plan the lighting for photos: London streets can be tricky with shadows and reflections. Ask your guide which spots catch natural light best or have the softest evening glow for magical, cinematic photos.
Strategic stops for Platform 9¾: Instead of joining the main queue, your guide can often drop you at slightly off-angle entrances or quieter corners to get that classic shot without throngs of tourists.
Timing snack breaks smartly: Some markets or cafes are busiest midday. If you plan to grab a butterbeer-themed snack or souvenir, your guide can schedule stops during slower hours for a relaxed experience.
Combine with nearby landmarks: Your driver knows shortcuts and hidden paths between locations. You can squeeze in extra film-related spots or iconic London views without wasting time in traffic.
Optimize walking segments: Some streets, like Millennium Bridge or Southwark, have better flow at certain times. Let your guide adjust the order of stops to avoid congestion or road closures, especially on weekends.
