Even see the bridge destroyed by the Death Eaters in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".  For part of your guided tour, choose to either take the London Underground or a short boat trip down the Thames.

      It’s my first time being in London and as a true Potterhead I wanted to haves our sort of starting point what to do or see in the city. Walking tours are by far my favourite and the tour guide exceeded my expectations. We decided to book the walking tour with the boat option and it connected the two parts of the tour nicely. Our guide Tom was really charming and his personality made the tour a unique experience, he had lots of Potter Trivia with him and created a special atmosphere. My friend who accompanied me is not a huge potterhead but enjoyed the tour as well, since you get an insight to nice spots in the city. A huge recommendation from our side!

      The tour was awesome, you could tell from the beginning what a huge potterhead Tom is. His enthusiasm is inspiring and was so lovely to watch. We honestly had so much fun, even without being huge harry potter fans. We recommend the tour (and Tom as guide) to everyone! Thank you Tom again for the amazing tour :-)

      We had pearla, she was so enthusiastic from the very start she was absolutely amazing! Her personality made it so worth while. It was so good to see locations we wouldn’t of found on her own and also little things about London like the drawings on chewing gum on the ‘wobbly bridge’. Even gave us a discount code for the harry potter shop! She was just so full of knowledge!
